Page 35Monday, 9 May 2005 09:38
This function allows you to automatically record a satellite program
which is timer-programed on your external DBS receiver. Connect
a DBS receiver to the unit’s [S VIDEO/VIDEO/AUDIO INPUT L-1]
connectors and program the timer on the DBS receiver. The unit
starts or stops recording by the signals input from the DBS
receiver. After recording, the unit’s power shuts off automatically.
● You can also connect the cable box if it has a timer.
1 Load a recordable disc.
2 Press DVD so that the DVD lamp lights up on the unit.
3 Press REC MODE repeatedly to set the recording mode.
4 Set “REAR AUX L-1” to “VIDEO” for the VIDEO input connector,
or “S-VIDEO” for the S-VIDEO input connector, depending on the
connector being used. (੬ pg. 71)
5 Press and hold REC LINK for about 2 seconds to engage the
Automatic Satellite Program Recording mode. “R-LK” appears on
the front display panel.
NOTES:
● To disengage the Automatic Satellite Program Recording mode,
press REC LINK.
● If the unit’s power is off, it is not possible to engage the Automatic
Satellite Program Recording mode.
● In step 5, if “R-LK” blinks quickly on the front display panel even
though your DBS receiver’s power is off, Automatic Satellite Program
Recording will not work properly with that DBS receiver*. If this is the
case, perform “Manual Timer Programing” (੬ pg. 31) to timer-record
a satellite program.
* Some DBS receivers output signals even if the power is off. Automatic
Satellite Program Recording is not possible with those DBS receivers.
● “R-LK” blinks on the front display panel while Automatic Satellite
Program Recording is in progress.
● For timer programing of the DBS receiver, refer to the instruction
manual of the DBS receiver.
● Automatic Satellite Program Recording is not possible if your DBS
receiver does not have a timer.
● Pressing the unit’s 1 button while Automatic Satellite Program
Recording is in progress turns off the unit’s power and disengages
the Automatic Satellite Program Recording mode.
● If there are more than one satellite programs you wish to record with
Automatic Satellite Program Recording, it is not possible to set
different recording modes for each program.
● Depending on the type of DBS receiver, the unit may not record a
slight portion of the beginning of the program or may record slightly
longer than the actual length of the program.
● If you engage the Automatic Satellite Program Recording mode when
the DBS receiver’s power is on, the unit will not start Automatic
Satellite Program Recording even though “R-LK” blinks on the front
display panel. When the DBS receiver shuts off once and is turned
back on again, the unit starts recording.
● You can also record a program from your cable system in the same
way if the system has a timer.
