Automatic Satellite Program Recording
(DVD Deck Only)
This function allows you to automatically record a satellite program
which is timer-programed on your external DBS receiver. Connect
a DBS receiver to the unit's AUDIO/VIDEO INPUT (L-1) connectors
and program the timer on the DBS receiver. The unit starts or stops
recording by the signals input from the DBS receiver. After
recording, the unit's power shuts off automatically.
You can also connect the cable box if it has a timer.
ATTENTION:
Be sure not to turn on the DBS receiver before the program is
executed; otherwise, the unit will start recording when the DBS
receiver's power is turned on.
If you have connected another appliance other than a DBS
receiver to the AUDIO/VIDEO INPUT (L-1) connectors, be sure not
to engage the Automatic Satellite Program Recording mode;
otherwise, the unit will start recording when the connected
appliance's power is turned on.
Automatic Satellite Program Recording and timer-recording cannot
be done at the same time.

way if the system has a timer.
