Notes

This function may not work with some types of satellite tuners.

Some TVs or other equipment with timer functions will automatically turn off if no operation is performed within a certain amount of time. In this case, the Synchronized Recording also stops automatically.

When the connected equipment turns on while the SYNCHRO indicator is appeared, recording starts automatically.

If the settings for timer recording and Synchronized Recording overlap, the programme that starts first has priority and the second programme starts recording only after the first programme has finished.

The Auto Clock Set function does not work while the VCR stands by for Synchronized Recording.
