Automatic recording from a satellite tuner

HDD

If you have a satellite tuner or some other kind of set top box connected to the INPUT 1/AUTO START REC 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.)1

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.

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.

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 107 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 36 for detailed information.

4Press HOME MENU and select ‘Timer Recording’, then ‘Auto Start Recording’.

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.

Note

1 You can’t set Auto Start Recording when:

–the recorder is recording or in timer recording standby.

–the HDD is not recordable.

–the HDD already contains the maximum number of titles (999).
