mode

Turn off the DBS receiver.

Press and hold REC LINK on the Remote for more than 2 seconds.

The VCR turns off automatically and the “L-1” and “‰” appears on the front display panel (Satellite Auto Recording standby mode).

When the DBS receiver outputs a signal, the VCR starts recording and the “L-1” blinks and the record () indicator lights. The VCR stops recording and powers off when the DBS receiver stops outputting a signal.

Each time you press the button, Satellite Auto Recording standby mode turns on and off. When it is off, “L-1” disappears.

IMPORTANT: Be sure not to turn on the DBS receiver before the program starts broadcasting; otherwise, the VCR will start recording when the DBS receiver is turned on.

NOTES:

While the Satellite Auto Recording standby mode or after Satellite Auto Recording is finished, the VCR will not enter the timer recording standby mode even though “AUTO TIMER” is set to “ON” ( pg. 57).

If you turn off this VCR while Satellite Auto Recording is in progress, recording stops.

Video Calibration ( pg. 54) does not work while Satellite Auto Recording is in progress.

Auto Clock ( pg. 11) does not work while in the Satellite Auto Recording standby mode.

The VCR may not record a short portion at the beginning of the program or may record slightly longer than the actual length of the program when Satellite Auto Recording method is used.

If you engage the Satellite Auto Recording standby mode while the DBS receiver is turned on, the VCR will not start Satellite Auto Recording, and “L-1” and “” blink on the front display panel. When you turn off the DBS receiver, “L-1” and “” light up and the VCR enters the Satellite Auto Recording standby mode.

If you have connected another component other than a DBS receiver (or cable box) to the AUDIO/VIDEO IN or S VIDEO IN (L-1) connectors, be sure not to engage the Satellite Auto Recording standby mode; otherwise, the VCR will start recording when the connected component is turned on.

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

If the “L-1” blinks quickly on the front display panel in the Satellite Auto Recording standby mode (even though your DBS receiver is turned off), Satellite Auto Recording will not work properly.

If this is the case, perform “Express Timer Programing” ( pg. 38) 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.)
