If you have connected another appliance other than a satellite receiver to the AV2 (L-2) IN/DECODER connector, be sure not to engage the Auto Satellite Programme Recording mode; otherwise, the recorder will start recording when the connected appliance's power is turned on. Auto Satellite Programme Recording and timer-recording cannot be done at the same time. Automatic Satellite Programme Recording This function allows you to automatically record a satellite programme which is timer-programmed on your external satellite receiver. Connect a satellite receiver to the recorder and programme the timer on the satellite receiver. The recorder starts or stops recording by the signals input from the satellite receiver. After recording, the recorder's power shuts off automatically. Make sure the satellite receiver is connected to the recorder's AV2 (L-2) IN/DECODER connector. Insert a cassette with the safety tab in place. Before performing the following steps: A Select the L-2 SELECT mode.
