OTHER USEFUL FUNCTIONS (cont.)
NOTES:
●
While the Satellite Auto Recording standby mode or after Satellite Auto Recording is finished, the VCR will not enter the timer
recording standby mode even though “AUTO TIMER” is set to “ON” (
੬
pg. 57).
●
If you turn off this VCR while Satellite Auto Recording is in progress, recording stops.
●
Video Calibration (
੬
pg. 54) does not work while Satellite Auto Recording is in progress.
●
Auto Clock (
੬
pg. 11) does not work while in the Satellite Auto Recording standby mode.
●
The VCR may not record a short portion at the beginning of the program or may record slightly longer than the actual length of the
program when Satellite Auto Recording method is used.
●
If you engage the Satellite Auto Recording standby mode while the DBS receiver is turned on, the VCR will not start Satellite Auto
Recording, and “L-1” and “
‰
” blink on the front display panel. When you turn off the DBS receiver, “L-1” and “
‰
” light up and
the VCR enters the Satellite Auto Recording standby mode.
●
If you have connected another component other than a DBS receiver (or cable box) to the AUDIO/VIDEO IN or S VIDEO IN (L-1)
connectors, be sure not to engage the Satellite Auto Recording standby mode; otherwise, the VCR will start recording when the
connected component is turned on.
●
Satellite Auto Recording and timer-recording cannot be performed at the same time.
●
If the “L-1” blinks quickly on the front display panel in the Satellite Auto Recording standby mode (even though your DBS receiver
is turned off), Satellite Auto Recording will not work properly.
If this is the case, perform “Express Timer Programing” (
੬
pg. 38) to timer-record a satellite program.
(Some DBS receivers output signals even if the power is off. Satellite Auto Recording is not possible with those DBS receivers.)
This function allows you to automatically record a
satellite program which is timer-programed on your DBS
receiver.
Preparation: Connect a DBS receiver to the AUDIO/
VIDEO IN or S VIDEO IN (L-1) connectors* on the rear;
otherwise, you cannot use this function.
• You can also connect the cable box if it has a timer.
*
To use these connectors, you have to select which one to use
(
੬
pg. 56).
