This facility allows you to automatically record a satellite
program which is timer-programmed on your external satellite
receiver. Connect a satellite receiver to the VCR's rear AUDIO/
VIDEO IN or S VIDEO IN* (L-1) connectors and program the
timer on the satellite receiver; the VCR starts recording when the
signals input from the satellite receiver to the rear AUDIO/VIDEO
IN or S VIDEO IN (L-1) connectors, and when there is no input
signals the VCR stops recording and the power shuts off.
* If you have connected the satellite receiver to the VCR's
S VIDEO IN connector, set "REAR AUX INPUT" to "S-VIDEO"
at the Function screen (੬ pg. 48 – 49).
