Conditions
for D-VHS Recording
Regardless of whether or not you initiate
a D-VHS recording
from the digital satellite receiver or VCR0 several conditions must
be met in order for a digital recording to be made:
•
A D-VHS compatible cassette is loaded (see note on using
S-VHS videocassettes).
•
The Digital AN connection is complete.
•
D-VHS mode is selected.
•
When a recording
is initiated
from the VCR, LINE 1 must be
selected as the input; dL1 (digital
line 1) appears in the front
panel display.
•
The digital satellite
receiver is turned
on and tuned to the
channel you want to record.
•
The recording
is authorized
by the digital satellite
system
(e.g., not copy-protected).
If these conditions
are not met, the VCR will attempt
to make a
standard VHS recording,
as long as a videocassette
is loaded in
the VCR.

Using S-VHS Cassettes for
D-VHS Recording
Professional or high-grad e S-VHS
videocassettes can be used for D-VHS
recordings, though the recording
quality may be affected bythe quality
of tape used.
If a D-VHS recording
is made using a
low-quality S-VHS tape, the recording
may produce momentary picture
freezes during playback due to brief
losses of data.
