Automatic recording from a
satellite tuner
HDD
If you have a satellite tuner or some other
kind of set top box connected to the INPUT
1/AUTO START REC 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
1
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.
If you want to use this recorder with the timer
features of your satellite tuner, see Additional
information for cable/satellite/STB (set-top
box) users on page 48.
Note
1 You can't set Auto Start Recording when:
– the recorder is recording or in timer recording standby.
– the HDD is not recordable.
– the HDD already contains the maximum number of titles (999).
Important
• It takes a little while for this recorder 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.
• 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.
1 Set the timer for the satellite receiver
(or other component), then switch it into
standby (if necessary).
Check the manual that came with the
receiver if you're not sure how to do this.

'External Audio' and 'Dual Mono
Recording' are as you want them.
See Audio In on page 114 for more on these
settings.
