Automatic recording from a satellite
tuner
VR mode Video mode
If you have a satellite tuner or some other kind of set top
box connected to the AV2/L1 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.)
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.

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.
