If you have programmed the recorder to timer-record 2 or more programmes, the second programme and those thereafter may not fit on the tape if you set "AUTO SPLP TIMER" to "ON". In this case, make sure the mode is not engaged, then set the tape speed manually during timer programming. In order to ensure that the recording fits on the tape, this feature may leave a slight non-recorded section at the end of the tape. There may be some noise and sound disturbance at the point on the tape where the recorder switches from SP to LP mode. The Auto SPLP Timer feature is not available during ITR (Instant Timer Recording), and the feature will not work properly with any tapes longer than E-180 or with some tapes of shorter lengths. If you perform timer recording with both VPS/PDC and the Auto SPLP Timer activated, and the programme goes beyond its originally scheduled length, there may be times when the programme cannot be recorded in its entirety. NOTE: For safety, when Auto timer is set to "OFF", all other recorder functions are disabled while the Timer mode is engaged. To disengage the timer, press (TIMER). 32 EN TIMER RECORDING (cont. ) This facility allows you record automatically a satellite programme which is timer-programmed on your external satellite tuner. Connect a satellite tuner to the recorder's AV2 IN/DECODER connector ( pg. 44, 45) and programme the timer on the satellite tuner; the recorder starts recording when the signals input from the satellite tuner to the AV2 IN/DECODER connector, and when there is no input signals the recorder stops recording and the power shuts off. Before performing the following steps: Make sure the satellite tuner is connected to the recorder's AV2 IN/DECODER connector. Insert a cassette with the safety tab in place.

SET TAPE SPEED Press SP/LP ( ) to set the tape speed. ATTENTION Be sure not to turn on the satellite tuner before the programme is executed; otherwise, the recorder will start recording when the satellite tuner's power is turned on. If you have connected another appliance other than a satellite tuner to the AV2 IN/DECODER connector, be sure not to engage the Auto Satellite Prog Rec mode; otherwise, the recorder will start recording when the connected appliance's power is turned on. Auto Satellite Prog recording and timer-recording cannot be done at the same time. 3 ENGAGE AUTO SATELLITE PROG REC MODE Press and hold REC LINK on the recorder for about 2 seconds. If the recorder's power is off, it is not possible to engage the Auto Satellite Prog Rec mode.

Auto Satellite Prog recording is not possible if your satellite tuner does not have a timer. The button's light blinks while Auto Satellite Prog recording is in progress. Pressing the recorder's button while Auto Satellite Prog recording is in progress turns off the recorder's power and disengage the Auto Satellite Prog Rec mode. If there are more than one satellite programme you wish to record with Auto Satellite Prog Recording, it is not possible to set the different tape speed per each; the tape speed selected in step 2 will be applicable to all the programmes for Auto Satellite Prog recording.
