satellite receiver; the recorder starts recording when the signals
input from the satellite receiver to the rear AUDIO/VIDEO IN

on.
●
If you have connected another appliance other than a
satellite receiver to the rear AUDIO/VIDEO IN
connectors, 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.
NOTES:
●
Auto Satellite Prog recording is only possible with the rear AUDIO/VIDEO IN connectors.
●
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”.
●
For timer programming of the satellite receiver, refer to the instruction manual of the satellite receiver.
●
Auto Satellite Prog recording is not possible if your satellite receiver 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 and recorder's power and disengages
the Auto Satellite Prog Rec mode.
●
If there is more than one satellite program you wish to record with Auto Satellite Prog Recording, it is not possible to set a different
tape speed for each; the tape speed selected in step 1 will apply to all the programs for Auto Satellite Prog recording.
●
The B.E.S.T. (
pg. 18) does not work while Auto Satellite Prog recording is in progress.
●
Depending on the type of satellite receiver, the recorder may not record a short portion at the beginning of the program or may
record slightly longer than the actual length of the program.
●
If you engage the Auto Satellite Prog Rec mode when the satellite receiver's power is on, the recorder will not start Auto Satellite
Prog recording even though the
REC LINK
indicator blinks. When the satellite receiver shuts off once and is turned back on again,
the recorder starts recording.
●
You can also record a program from your cable system in the same way if the system has a timer and is connected to the recorder's
rear AUDIO/VIDEO IN connectors.
●
When you press 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” (
pg. 20) to timer-record a satellite program.
*
Some satellite receivers output signals even if the power is off. Auto Satellite Prog Recording is not possible with those satellite receivers.
