Automatic recording from a satellite tuner HDD If you have a satellite tuner or some other kind of set top box connected to the INPUT 1/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.)1 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 Additional information for cable/satellite/STB (set-top box) users on page 48. 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 114 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 37 for detailed information. HOME MENU 4 Select 'Timer Recording', then 'Auto Start Recording' from the Home Menu. 5 ENTER Select 'Yes' to switch Auto Start Recording on, or 'No' to switch off. If you choose 'Yes' the recorder automatically goes into standby. The AUTO indicator in the front panel display lights. 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). 47 En
