Recording
05
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 123.
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.
2 Check that the 'Audio In' settings for
'External Audio' and 'Dual Mono
Recording' are as you want them.
See Audio In on page 103 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 34 for detailed
information.
