Automatic recording from a satellite
tuner
HDD
If you have a satellite tuner or some other kind of set top
box connected to the 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.
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.
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.
2 Check that the 'Audio In' settings for 'External
Audio' and 'Dual Mono Recording' are as you want
them.
See Audio In settings on page 92 for more on these
settings.
3 Set up the recorder.
• Use REC MODE to set the recording quality. See
Setting the picture quality/recording time on page 44
for detailed information.
