[. . . ] In step 3, if the SAT# indicator does not light but instead blinks quickly even though your satellite receiver's power is off, Auto Satellite Programme Recording will not work properly with that satellite receiver*. If this is the case, perform "Express Timer Programming" ( pg. 26) to timer-record a satellite programme. * Some satellite receivers output signals even if the power is off. Auto Satellite Programme Recording is not possible with those satellite receivers. The SAT# indicator blinks while Auto Satellite Programme Recording is in progress. For timer programming of the satellite receiver, refer to the instruction manual of the satellite receiver. Auto Satellite Programme Recording is not possible if your satellite receiver does not have a timer. Pressing the recorder's 1 button while Auto Satellite Programme Recording is in progress turns off the recorder's power and disengages the Auto Satellite Programme Recording mode. If there are more than one satellite programmes you wish to record with Auto Satellite Programme Recording, it is not possible to set different tape speeds for each programme. Depending on the type of satellite receiver, the recorder 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 Auto Satellite Programme Recording mode when the satellite receiver's power is on, the recorder will not start Auto Satellite Programme 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. 23) does not work while Auto Satellite Programme Recording is in progress. 48) does not work when the Auto Satellite Programme Recording mode is engaged. When the Auto Satellite Programme Recording mode is engaged, or the recorder's power is turned off after Auto Satellite Programme Recording is finished, the recorder will not enter the Timer mode even though "AUTO TIMER" is set to "ON". After Auto Satellite Programme Recording, the number of recorded programmes will not be displayed on the front display panel for the Instant ReView function ( pg. 18).
