Automatic recording from a satellite
tuner
If you have a satellite tuner or some other kind of set top
box connected to the
AV2/AUTO START REC (INPUT 1/
DECODER)
input, you can have the recorder start and
stop recording automatically with the timer settings of
the connected component. (If the other component
doesn’t have a built-in timer, you’ll need to use it with an
external timer unit.)

After setting up for Auto Start Recording, this recorder
starts recording when it detects a signal from the other
component. When the signal ceases, the recorder stops
recording.
If you want to use this recorder with the timer features of
your satellite tuner, see
Language code list
on page 108.
Important
• It takes a little while for this recorder to switch on and
start recording after detecting a signal. Please bear
this in mind when setting the timer.
• If Auto Start Recording is set, it will not start if
another timer recording is in progress.
• Timer recordings take precedence over Auto Start
Recording. Auto Start Recording will stop if a timer
recording is due to start. After the timer recording
has finished, Auto Start Recording will resume.

component), then switch it into standby (if
necessary).
Check the manual that came with the receiver if you’re
not sure how to do this.
