05Recording

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 Additional information for cable/satellite/STB (set-top box) users below.

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.

1Set 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.

2Check that the ‘Audio In’ settings for ‘External Audio’ and ‘Dual Mono Recording’ are as you want them.

See Audio In on page 111 for more on these settings.

3Set up the recorder.

Use REC MODE to set the recording quality. See Setting the picture quality/ recording time on page 37 for detailed information.

5Select ‘Yes’ to switch Auto Start Recording on, or ‘No’ to switch off. If you choose ‘Yes’ the recorder automatically goes into standby.

The AUTO indicator in the front panel display lights.

The recorder will automatically switch on and start recording when the other component comes on. Recording stops when the external component switches off.

To cancel Auto Start Recording, press STANDBY/ON while the recorder is in standby. The AUTO indicator goes off.

To cancel Auto Start Recording once recording has already started, press REC for three seconds (this cancels Auto Start Recording, but recording continues), then STOP REC to stop recording.

You can also stop recording by pressing STOP REC then selecting Yes to confirm.

Tip

Alternatively, with no OSD displayed, press and hold the front panel STOP REC button for more than three seconds to switch Auto Start Recording on directly. After switching on, switch the recorder into standby (step 6).
