Satellite Auto

Recording

This function allows you to automatically record a satellite program which is timer-programed on your external DBS receiver. Connect a DBS receiver to the unit’s AUDIO/VIDEO INPUT (L-1) connectors and program the timer on the DBS receiver. The unit starts or stops recording by the signals input from the DBS receiver. After recording, the unit’s power shuts off automatically.

●You can also connect the cable box if it has a timer.

“N” indicator

ATTENTION

●Be sure not to turn on the DBS receiver before the program is executed; otherwise, the unit will start recording when the DBS receiver’s power is turned on.

●If you have connected another appliance other than a DBS receiver to the AUDIO/VIDEO INPUT (L-1) connectors, be sure not to engage the Satellite Auto Recording mode; otherwise, the unit will start recording when the connected appliance’s power is turned on.

●Satellite Auto Recording and timer-recording cannot be done at the same time.

Before performing the following steps:

●Make sure the DBS receiver is connected to the unit’s AUDIO/VIDEO INPUT (L-1) connectors.

●Program the timer on the DBS receiver.

●Insert a cassette with the safety tab in place.

●Slide the TV/VCR/DVD switch to the right.

A Select the VCR deck.

On the unit

Press VCR/DVD repeatedly so that the VCR indicator lights up.

On the Remote

Press VCR so that the VCR indicator lights up.

B Set the tape speed.

Press SP/EP.

C Engage the Satellite Auto Recording mode.

Press and hold REC LINK for about 2 seconds. The “N” and “#” indicators light up and the unit turns off automatically.

NOTES:

●To disengage the Satellite Auto Recording mode, press REC LINK. The “N” indicator goes off.

●If the unit’s power is off, it is not possible to engage the Satellite Auto Recording mode.

●In step C, if the “N” indicator does not light but instead blinks quickly even though your DBS receiver’s power is off, Satellite Auto Recording will not work properly with that DBS receiver*. If this is the case, perform “Express Timer Programing” ( pg. 36) to timer-record a satellite program.

*Some DBS receivers output signals even if the power is off. Satellite Auto Recording is not possible with those DBS receivers.

●The “N” indicator blinks while Satellite Auto Recording is in progress.

●For timer programing of the DBS receiver, refer to the instruction manual of the DBS receiver.

●Satellite Auto Recording is not possible if your DBS receiver does not have a timer.

●Pressing the unit’s POWER (1) button while Satellite Auto Recording is in progress turns off the unit’s power and disengages the Satellite Auto Recording mode.

●If there are more than one satellite programs you wish to record with Satellite Auto Recording, it is not possible to set different tape speeds for each program.

●Depending on the type of DBS receiver, the unit may not record a slight portion of the beginning of the program or may record slightly longer than the actual length of the program.

●If you engage the Satellite Auto Recording mode when the DBS receiver’s power is on, the unit will not start Satellite Auto Recording even though the “N” and “#” indicators blink. When the DBS receiver shuts off once and is turned back on again, the unit starts recording.

●You can also record a program from your cable system in the same way if the system has a timer.
