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. Set "L-2 SELECT" to "L-2" or "SAT" ( When you select "SAT", refer to "IMPORTANT" on page 33. pg. 39). B Set the tape speed. Press SP/LP (p). SAT# indicator Auto C Engage themode. Satellite Programme Recording Press and hold SAT# for about 2 seconds. The SAT# indicator lights up and the recorder turns off automatically. NOTES: To disengage the Auto Satellite Programme Recording mode, press SAT#. If the recorder's power is off, it is not possible to engage the Auto Satellite Programme Recording mode. In step 3, if the SAT# indicator does not light but instead blinks quickly even though your satellite receiver's power is off, Auto Satellite Programme Recording will not work properly with that satellite receiver*. If this is the case, perform "Express Timer Programming" ( pg. 26) to timer-record a satellite programme. * Some satellite receivers output signals even if the power is off. Auto Satellite Programme Recording is not possible with those satellite receivers. The SAT# indicator blinks while Auto Satellite Programme Recording is in progress. For timer programming of the satellite receiver, refer to the instruction manual of the satellite receiver. Auto Satellite Programme Recording is not possible if your satellite receiver does not have a timer. Pressing the recorder's 1 button while Auto Satellite Programme Recording is in progress turns off the recorder's power and disengages the Auto Satellite Programme Recording mode. If there are more than one satellite programmes you wish to record with Auto Satellite Programme Recording, it is not possible to set different tape speeds for each programme. Depending on the type of satellite receiver, the recorder may not record a slight portion of the beginning of the programme or may record slightly longer than the actual length of the programme. If you engage the Auto Satellite Programme Recording mode when the satellite receiver's power is on, the recorder will not start Auto Satellite Programme Recording even though the SAT# indicator blinks. When the satellite receiver shuts off once and is turned back on again, the recorder starts recording.
