Automatic recording from a satellite
tuner
If you have a satellite tuner or some other kind of set top
box connected to the
INPUT1/AUTO START REC 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.) 1
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 109.
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.
1 Set the timer for the satellite receiver (or other
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.
2 Check that the ‘Audio In’ settings for ‘External
Audio’ and ‘Dual Mono Recording’ are as you want
them.
See Audio In Settings on page 93 for more on these
settings.
3 Set up the recorder.
• Use REC MODE to set the recording quality. See
Setting the picture quality/recording time on page 37
for detailed information.
4 Press HOME MENU and select ‘Timer Recording’,
then ‘Auto Start Recording’.
5 Select ‘Yes’ to switch Auto Start Recording on, or
‘No’ to switch off.
6 Switch the recorder into standby.
The AUTO indicator in the front panel display lights.
The recorder will automatically switch on and start
recording when the other component comes on.
Recording stops when the external component switches
off.
• To cancel Auto Start Recording, press STANDBY/
ON while the recorder is in standby. The AUTO
indicator goes off.
• To cancel Auto Start Recording once recording has
already started, press ì REC for three seconds (this
cancels Auto Start Recording, but recording
continues), then
STOP REC to stop recording.
• You can also stop recording by pressing STOP REC
then selecting Yes to confirm.
Tip
• Alternatively, with no OSD displayed, press and hold
the front panel STOP REC button for more than
three seconds to switch Auto Start Recording on
directly. After switching on, switch the recorder into
standby (step
6 ).
