Recording 06

En
You can record from an external component, such as a
camcorder or VCR, connected to one of the recorder’s
external inputs.
1 Make sure that the component you want to
record from is connected properly to the DVD
recorder.
See Chapter 2 (
Connecting up
) for connection options.
2 Press INPUT SELECT repeatedly to select one of
the external inputs to record from.
There are three analog inputs. The current input is shown
on-screen and in the front panel display:
•
L1
– Input 1/Auto Start Rec
•
L2
– Input 2 (front panel)
•
L3
– Input 3
Check that the
Audio In
settings for
External Audio
,
Bilingual Recording
are as you want them (see
Audio In
settings
on page 79).
• If the aspect ratio is distorted (squashed or
stretched), adjust on the source component or your
TV before recording.
3 Set up the recorder.
• Use
REC MODE
to set the recording quality. See
Setting the picture quality/recording time
on page 43
for detailed information.
4 Press
REC when you’re ready to start
recording.
Note
• If your source is copy-protected using CopyGuard,
you will not be able to record it. See
Restrictions on
video recording
on page 43 for more details.
If you have a satellite tuner or some other kind of set top
box connected to the
L1
input, you can have the recorder
start and stop recording automatically with the timer
settings of the connected component. (If the other
component doesn’t have a built-in timer, you’ll need to
use it with an external timer unit.)
After setting up for Auto Start Recording, this recorder
starts recording when it detects a signal from the other
component. When the signal ceases, the recorder stops
recording.
If you want to use this recorder with the timer features of
your satellite tuner, see
Language code list
on page 92.
Important
•It takes a little while for this recorder to switch on and
start recording after detecting a signal. Please bear
this in mind when setting the timer.
• If Auto Start Recording is set, it will not start if
another timer recording is in progress.
• Timer recordings take precedence over Auto Start
Recording. Auto Start Recording will stop if a timer
recording is due to start. After the timer recording
has finished, Auto Start Recording will resume.
1 Set the timer for the satellite receiver (or other
component), then switch it into standby (if
necessary).
Check the manual that came with the receiver if you’re
not sure how to do this.
2 Load a recordable disc into this recorder.
3 Check that the ‘Audio In’ settings for ‘External
Audio’ and ‘Bilingual Recording’ are as you want
them.
See
Audio In settings
on page 79 for more on these
settings.
