Sony SAT-A1 Setting the Timer, 44Chapter 4: Using the System Features

Setting Up the Timer

Use the Timer Setup screen to specify a day and time on which you want the DSS receiver to automatically tune to a specific station. You can use this feature in coordination with your VCR’s timer recording function to automate the recording of DSS programs.

Note

When recording programs from the DSS receiver, your TV need not be turned on. However, you must set up your VCR for timer recording and specify the DSS receiver as the line-in source. See your VCR manual for details.
