Automatic Satellite Programme
Recording

This facility allows you to record
automatically a satellite programme
which is timer-programmed on your
external satellite tuner. Connect a
satellite tuner to the VCR’s AV2 IN/
DECODER connector (

P.34) and

programme the timer on the satellite
tuner; the VCR starts recording when it
signals input from the satellite tuner to
the AV2 IN/DECODER connector, and
when there is no input signal the VCR
stops recording and the power shuts
off.

Before performing the following steps:
• Make sure the satellite tuner is

connected to the VCR’s AV2 IN/
DECODER connector. (P.34)

• Programme the timer on the satellite

tuner.

• Insert a cassette with the safety tab

in place.

your TV for timer-programming on the
VCR.
VCR must be switched on during EPG
download.
For details, refer to the instruction
manual for your TV.

You can turn on the TV and set it to
video mode automatically whenever
you play a tape.
For details, refer to the instruction
manual for your TV.

• 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 5 will be
applicable to all programmes for Auto
Satellite Prog recording.

• Depending on the type of satellite tuner,

the VCR 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 VCR will not
start Auto Satellite Prog recording even
though the REC LINK button blinks.
When the satellite tuner shuts off once
and is turned back on again, the VCR
starts recording.

• When the Auto Satellite Prog Rec mode

is engaged or the VCR’s power is turned
off after Auto Satellite Prog recording is
finished, the VCR will not enter the
Timer mode.

• When you press and hold the VCR’s REC

LINK button to engage the Auto Satellite
Prog Rec mode, if the REC LINK button
does not light but instead blinks quickly
even though your satellite tuner’s power
is off, Auto Satellite Prog Recording will
not work properly with that satellite tuner.
If this is the case, perform “Timer
Recording” (

P.30) to timer-record a

satellite programme.
• Some satellite tuners output signals

even if the power is off. Auto Satellite
Prog Recording is not possible with
those satellite tuners.
