Recording a stereo/SAP program

The recorder can receive and record stereo/SAP programs.

Stereo programs

If there is noise in the stereo program, set “Auto Stereo” in “Options” setup to “Off” (page 98). The sound will be recorded in monaural but with less noise.

SAP (Second Audio Program)

When a SAP (Second Audio Program) is received, the “SAP” indicator lights up on the front panel display. To record only SAP sound, set “Tuner Audio” in “Options” setup to “SAP” (page 98).

Unrecordable pictures

Pictures with copy protection cannot be recorded on this recorder.

When the recorder receives a copy guard signal, the recorder continues to record but only a blank, grey colored screen will be recorded.

There are two methods to set the timer – setting the timer using the TV Guide On Screen system and setting the timer manually.

bNotes

•When the recorder is connected to a cable box and you want to record using the TV Guide On Screen system, do the following: Turn on the cable box, connect the set top box controller, and set “Set Top Box Control” in the “Settings” setup to “On.”

•Do not operate your cable box or satellite receiver just before or during a timer recording. This may prevent the accurate recording of a program.

Recording with the TV Guide On Screen system (TV GUIDE)

You can use the TV Guide On Screen system to set the timer to record a program up to eight days in advance.
