Satellite Auto
Recording
This function allows you to automatically record a
satellite program which is timer-programmed on your
DBS receiver.
Preparation : Connect a DBS receiver to the [AUDIO/
VIDEO INPUT L-1] or [S VIDEO INPUT L-
1] connectors* on the rear; otherwise, you
cannot use this function.
• You can also connect the cable box if it
has a timer.
* To use these connectors, you have to select
which one to use ( A page 66).

standby mode
Turn off the DBS receiver.
Press and hold [REC LINK] on the Remote for
more than 2 seconds.
The VCR turns off automatically, [V] and [j]
appear on the front display panel (Satellite Auto
Recording standby mode).
When the DBS receiver outputs a signal, the VCR
starts recording and [V] blinks, the [j] and record
[X] indicator light up. The VCR stops recording
and powers off when the DBS receiver stops
outputting a signal.
• This VCR will enter into Satellite Auto
Recording standby mode after recording is
finished.
• To release the Satellite Auto Recording standby
mode, press [REC LINK]. [V] and [j] disappear.
NOTES:
• While in the Satellite Auto Recording standby mode or after Satellite Auto Recording is finished, the VCR will not enter the timer
recording standby mode even though “AUTO TIMER” is set to “ON” ( A page 66).
• If you turn off this VCR while Satellite Auto Recording is in progress, recording stops.
• Video Calibration (
A page 63) does not work while Satellite Auto Recording is in progress.
• Auto Clock ( A page 18) does not work while in the Satellite Auto Recording standby mode.
• The VCR may not record a short portion at the beginning of the program or may record slightly longer than the actual length of the
program when Satellite Auto Recording method is used.
• If you engage the Satellite Auto Recording standby mode while the DBS receiver is turned on, the VCR will not start Satellite Auto
Recording, [V] on the front display panel blinks rapidly and [j] lights up. When you turn off the DBS receiver, [V] and [j] light up
and the VCR enters the Satellite Auto Recording standby mode.
• If you have connected another component other than a DBS receiver (or cable box) to the [AUDIO/VIDEO INPUT L-1] or [S VIDEO
INPUT L-1] connectors, be sure not to engage the Satellite Auto Recording standby mode; otherwise, the VCR will start recording
when the connected component is turned on.
• Satellite Auto Recording and timer-recording cannot be performed at the same time.
• If the [V] blinks rapidly on the front display panel in the Satellite Auto Recording standby mode (even though your DBS receiver is
turned off), Satellite Auto Recording will not work properly.
If this is the case, perform ‘Express Timer Programming’ (
A page 44) to timer-record a satellite program.
(Some DBS receivers output signals even if the power is off. Satellite Auto Recording is not possible with those DBS receivers.)
• Turn on the VCR and the TV, and select the AV
mode on the TV.
• Set the [VCR/TV/CABLE/DBS] selector on the
Remote to [VCR].
