Automatic Satellite
Programme Recording
This function allows you to automatically record a
satellite programme which is timer-programmed on your
external satellite receiver. Connect a satellite receiver to
the unit's L-1 Input Connector (INPUT (L-1)) and
programme the timer on the satellite receiver. The unit
starts or stops recording by the signals input from the
satellite receiver. After recording, the unit's power shuts
off automatically.
ATTENTION
● Be sure not to turn on the satellite receiver before the
programme is executed; otherwise, the unit will start
recording when the satellite receiver's power is turned on.
● If you have connected another appliance other than a
satellite receiver to the

, be sure not to engage the Automatic Satellite
Programme Recording mode; otherwise, the unit will start
recording when the connected appliance's power is turned
on.

● Depending on the type of satellite receiver, the unit may not
record a slight portion of the beginning of the programme or
may record slightly longer than the actual length of the
programme.
● If you engage the Automatic Satellite Programme Recording
mode when the satellite receiver's power is on, the unit will
not start Automatic Satellite Programme Recording even

the same way if the system has a timer.
