TIMER RECORDING (cont.)
Automatic Satellite
Programme
Recording
This function allows you to automatically record a
satellite programme which is timer-programmed on your
external satellite receiver. Connect a satellite receiver to
the recorder’s AV2 (L-2) IN/DECODER connector and
programme the timer on the satellite receiver. The
recorder starts or stops recording by the signals input
from the satellite receiver. After recording, the recorder’s
power shuts off automatically.

Satellite Programme Recording will not work properly with that satellite receiver*. If this is the case, perform “Express Timer
Programming” (
墌
pg. 30) to timer-record a satellite programme.
* Some satellite receivers output signals even if the power is off. Automatic Satellite Programme Recording is not possible with those satellite receivers.
●
The SAT

Automatic Satellite Programme Recording is not possible if your satellite receiver does not have a timer.

If there are more than one satellite programmes you wish to record with Automatic Satellite Programme Recording, it is not possible
to set different tape speeds for each programme.
●
Depending on the type of satellite receiver, 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 Automatic Satellite Programme Recording mode when the satellite receiver’s power is on, the recorder will not
start Automatic Satellite Programme Recording even though the SAT

button blinks. When the satellite receiver shuts off once and
is turned back on again, the recorder starts recording.

programme is executed; otherwise, the recorder will start
recording when the satellite receiver’s power is turned on.
●
If you have connected another appliance other than a
satellite receiver to the AV2 (L-2) IN/DECODER connector,
be sure not to engage the Automatic Satellite Programme
Recording mode; otherwise, the recorder will start
recording when the connected appliance’s power is turned
on.
