Recording from External Equipment with a Timer (Synchro Rec)
Notes
• The recorder starts recording only after detecting the video signal from
the connected equipment. The beginning of the program may not be
recorded.
• You cannot set Synchro-Recording only by pressing the SYNCHRO
REC button when the recorder is turned off. Be sure to turn on the
recorder first to set Synchro-Recording.
• While Synchro-Recording, other operations such as normal recording
cannot be done.
• Do not turn on the recorder while it stands by for Synchro-Recording.
Synchro-Recording will be canceled.
• Any program that contains a Copy-Never copy guard signal cannot be
recorded. When you record a program that contains a Copy-Once
signal, use a DVD-RW (Ver. 1.1 with CPRM) in VR mode for
recording. For details, see “Unrecordable pictures” (page 36).
• When using the Synchro Rec function, do not use the VCR control
function on connected equipment.
• To use the connected equipment while the recorder is standing by for
Synchro-Recording, cancel Synchro-Recording by pressing
SYNCHRO REC. Before timer recording starts, be sure to turn off the
connected equipment, then turn on the recorder and press SYNCHRO
REC to reset Synchro-Recording.
• The Synchro Rec function does not work with some satellite receivers.
For details, refer to the satellite receiver’s operating instructions.
