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 these steps to set up your VCR. Before you
begin:
● Use audio and video cables to connect the AUDIO/VIDEO IN
jacks on the back of the VCR to the AUDIO/VIDEO OUT jacks
on the satellite tuner.
● Press the SPEED button to select the desired tape speed (SP,
LP, or SLP).
• To exit a stand-by mode of the
Auto Satellite Link, press the
POWER button to turn on the VCR.
The VCR sets SATELLITE LINK to
OFF automatically.
• To stop an Auto Satellite Link
recording that is in progress, press
the STOP/EJECT button on the VCR.
• If the preset time for an Auto
Satellite Link comes up during a
timer recording, the timer recording
has priority.
• If a program has copy guard pro-
tection, it may not record clearly.
• If noise appears on the TV screen
when you view a program, connect
the satellite tuner directly to the TV.
• When you use this feature, the first
few seconds of a program may not
be recorded.
• If your satellite tuner has the syn-
chronized timer feature by the
broadcasting time of a program,
refer to the tuner’s owner’s manual.
