which is timer-programmed on your external satellite tuner.
Connect a satellite tuner to the recorder's AV2 IN/DECODER
connector (

tuner; the recorder starts recording when the signals input from the
satellite tuner to the AV2 IN/DECODER connector, and when there
is no input signals the recorder stops recording and the power
shuts off.

ATTENTION
●
Be sure not to turn on the satellite tuner before the
programme is executed; otherwise, the recorder will start
recording when the satellite tuner's power is turned on.
●
If you have connected another appliance other than a
satellite tuner to the AV2 IN/DECODER connector, be
sure not to engage the Auto Satellite Prog Rec mode;
otherwise, the recorder will start recording when the
connected appliance's power is turned on.
●
Auto Satellite Prog recording and timer-recording cannot
be done at the same time.
Before performing the following steps:
●
Make sure the satellite tuner is connected to the
recorder's AV2 IN/DECODER connector. (

For timer programming of the satellite tuner, refer to the instruction manual of the satellite tuner.
●
Auto Satellite Prog recording is not possible if your satellite tuner does not have a timer.
●
The REC LINK indicator blinks while Auto Satellite Prog recording is in progress.
●
Pressing the recorder's
button while Auto Satellite Prog recording is in progress turns off the recorder's power and disengage
the Auto Satellite Prog Rec mode.
●
If there are more than one satellite programme you wish to record with Auto Satellite Prog Recording, it is not possible to set the
different tape speed per each; the tape speed selected in step 2 will be applicable to all the programmes for Auto Satellite Prog
recording.
●
The B.E.S.T. system (

pg. 22) does not work while Auto Satellite Prog recording is in progress.
●
Just Clock (

●
Depending on the type of satellite tuner, the recorder may not record a slight portion of the beginning of the programme or may record
slightly longer than the actual length of the programme.
●
If you engage the Auto Satellite Prog Recording mode when the satellite tuner's power is on, the recorder will not start Auto
Satellite Prog recording even though the REC LINK indicator blinks. When the satellite tuner shuts off once and is turned back on
again, the recorder starts recording.
●
When the Auto Satellite Prog Rec mode is engaged or the recorder's power is turned off after Auto Satellite Prog recording is
finished, the recorder will not enter the Timer mode even though "AUTO TIMER" is set to "ON".
●
After Auto Satellite Programme recording, the number of recorded programmes will not be displayed on the front display panel for

You can also record a programme from your cable system in the same way if the system has a timer.
●
When you press and hold the recorder's REC LINK button to engage the Auto Satellite Prog Rec mode, if the REC LINK indicator
does not light but instead blinks quickly even though your satellite receiver's power is off, Auto Satellite Prog Recording will not
work properly with that satellite receiver*.
If this is the case, perform "Express Timer Programming" (
Z
pg. 26) to timer-record a satellite programme.
* Some satellite receivers output signals even if the power is off. Auto Satellite Prog Recording is not possible with those satellite receivers.
