Automatic recording from a satellite
tuner
HDD VR mode
If you have a satellite tuner or some other kind of set top
box connected to the INPUT1/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 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 Language code list on page 108.
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.
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).
