ATTENTION
● Be sure not to turn on the satellite receiver before the
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 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.
● When you press and hold the recorder's SAT‰ button to
engage the Auto Satellite Prog Rec mode, if the SAT‰
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"
(੬ pg. 18) 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.
Before performing the following steps:
● Make sure the satellite receiver is connected to the
recorder's AV2 (L-2) IN/DECODER connector. (੬ pg. 26)
● Programme the timer on the satellite receiver.
● Insert a cassette with the safety tab in place.

If there is more than one satellite programme 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 4 will apply to all the programmes for Auto Satellite Prog recording.

Depending on the type of satellite receiver, the recorder may not record a short portion at the beginning of the programme or may
record slightly longer than the actual length of the programme.
●
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 SAT
‰
indicator blinks. When the satellite receiver shuts off once and is turned back on again, the
recorder starts recording.

You can also record a programme from your cable system in the same way if the system has a timer and is connected to the
recorder's AV2 (L-2) IN/DECODER connector.
