Automatic recording from a satellite
tuner
HDD
If you have a satellite tuner or some other kind of set top
box connected to the AV2(LINE 1/DECODER) input, you
can have the system 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 system
starts recording when it detects a signal from the other
component. When the signal ceases, the recording
stops.
Important
• It takes a little while for the system 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.
• The system automatically switches to standby after
an Auto Start Recording has completed (even if the
input function is set AM/FM or one of the external
inputs).
• 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.
