Automatic Satellite

Programme

Recording

This function allows you to automatically record a
satellite programme which is timer-programmed on your
external satellite receiver. Connect a satellite receiver to
the unit’s AUDIO/VIDEO IN (L-1) connector and
programme the timer on the satellite receiver. The unit
starts or stops recording by the signals input from the
satellite receiver. After recording, the unit’s power shuts
off automatically.
ASelect the S-VHS deck.
On the unit
Press S-VHS/DVD repeatedly so that the S-VHS indicator
lights up.
On the remote control
Press S-VHS so that the S-VHS indicator lights up.
BSet the tape speed.
Press SP/LP/EP (p).
●Select the appropriate colour system with “PAL/MESECAM”
and “NTSC”. (墌pg. 77, 78)
CEngage the Automatic Satellite Programme

Recording mode.

Press and hold REC LINK for about 2 seconds. The “N”
indicator lights up and the unit turns off automatically.
NOTES:
●To disengage the Automatic Satellite Programme Recording mode, press REC LINK. The “N” indicator goes off.
●If the unit’s power is off, it is not possible to engage the Automatic Satellite Programme Recording mode.
●In step C, if the “N” indicator does not light but instead blinks quickly even though your satellite receiver’s power is off, Automatic
Satellite Programme Recording will not work properly with that satellite receiver*. If this is the case, perform “Express Timer
Programming” (墌pg. 34) to timer-record a satellite programme.
* Some satellite receivers output signals even if the power is off. Automatic Satellite Programme Recording is not possible with those satellite receivers.
●The “N” indicator blinks while Automatic Satellite Programme Recording is in progress.
●For timer programming of the satellite receiver, refer to the instruction manual of the satellite receiver.
●Automatic Satellite Programme Recording is not possible if your satellite receiver does not have a timer.
●Pressing the unit’s 1 button while Automatic Satellite Programme Recording is in progress turns off the unit’s power and disengages
the Automatic Satellite Programme Recording mode.
●If there are more than one satellite programmes you wish to record with Automatic Satellite Programme Recording, it is not possible
to set different tape speeds for each programme.
●Depending on the type of satellite receiver, the unit may not record a slight portion of the beginning of the programme or may record
slightly longer than the actual length of the programme.
●If you engage the Automatic Satellite Programme Recording mode when the satellite receiver’s power is on, the unit will not start
Automatic Satellite Programme Recording even though the “N” indicator blinks. When the satellite receiver shuts off once and is
turned back on again, the unit starts recording.
●You can also record a programme from your cable system in the same way if the system has a timer.
●The B.E.S.T. system (墌pg. 30) does not work while Automatic Satellite Programme Recording is in progress.

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