Pressing the recorder's button while Auto Satellite Prog recording is in progress turns off the recorder's power and disengages the Auto Satellite Prog Rec mode.

Depending on the type of satellite receiver, the recorder may not record a short portion at the beginning of the programme or may record slightly longer than the actual length of the programme. If you engage the Auto Satellite Prog Rec mode when the satellite receiver's power is on, the recorder will not start Auto Satellite Prog recording even though the SAT indicator blinks. When the satellite receiver shuts off once and is turned back on again, the recorder starts recording. You can also record a programme from your cable system in the same way if the system has a timer and is connected to the recorder's AV2 (L-2) IN/DECODER connector. 28 ADVANCED OPERATIONS (cont. ) Manual Tracking Your video recorder is equipped with automatic tracking control. For most tapes this will automatically adjust the tracking to suit the particular tape you are playing. In some circumstances it may be necessary to make manual tracking adjustments. This is usually only associated with old or worn tapes or recordings made on old or worn recorders. If the automatic tracking control fails to operate correctly you will see noise bars across the picture as shown on the left below. To correct this you can override the automatic control and adjust the tracking manually by pressing the PR buttons.
