Auto Satellite Link Using a Satellite Tuner 31
If you connect your VCR to a satellite tuner that has the
Electronic Program Guide, the VCR will turn itself on, record,
then turn itself off. First, read the owner’s manual of your satellite
tuner; then, follow the steps below. Before you begin:
Use audio and video cables to connect the VCR’s
AUDIO/VIDEO IN jacks to the satellite tuner’s AUDIO/VIDEO
OUT jacks.
Press the SPEED button to select the desired recording tape
speed (SP or SLP).
Set the clock. Details are on pages 14-15.
Put a tape in the VCR. Make sure the tape’s record tab is intact
and the tape is long enough to record the program(s).
• To stop an Auto Satellite Link
recording that is in progress, press
the STOP/EJECT button on the VCR.
• If a program has copy guard pro-
tection, it may not record clearly.
• When you use this feature, the first
few seconds of a program may not
be recorded.
• If your satellite tuner synchronizes
the recording start time with the
broadcasting start time, refer to the
tuner’s owner’s manual.
• When you turn on the VCR power,
the SATELLITE LINK will be can-
celled.
