Scheduling Programs (TIMER & REC)
Notes
• When using the VCR Control feature to
record a future program, make sure that
your VCR is turned off before the
program begins. The VCR Control
feature will turn on your VCR and start
recording.
• When you schedule two or more
continuous events to be recorded, the
Auto Title Insert and Program Data
Download features will only send
information about the first program.

The following information reviews the highlights of recording with your
Digital Satellite Receiver. You can schedule and record programs with
your Digital Satellite Receiver if you have connected a VCR (see

Feature" on page 30).
One Button Timer & Rec
The One Button Timer & Rec feature allows you to schedule the
recording of a future satellite program by selecting that program from
any of the program guides (see "Using One Button Timer & Rec" on page

Timer & Rec
The Timer & Rec feature allows you to schedule the recording of any
future program from the Main Menu by selecting the date, time, and
channel that you want to record (see "Using the Timer & Rec Feature" on
page 77).
Auto Title Insert
You can set up your Digital Satellite Receiver to send information to your
VCR so that program information appears at the beginning of your
recordings. This way you can have a convenient "title" recorded on your
tapes (see "Setting Up Auto Title Insert" on page 32).
Data Download with a Sony SmartFile™ VCR
Your Digital Satellite Receiver has a Program Data Download feature
that will automatically send the following information when you record
a program with a Sony SmartFile VCR: program title, program category,
program time/date and duration.
For more information on the SmartFile function, see your Sony SmartFile
VCR Operating Instructions.
Programs not available for recording
Due to copyright restrictions, some programs may not be available to
record or may only be available to record in standard definition. You
may need to set the OUTPUT SELECT to "Video 1/2, VHF/UHF 480i"
(see page 11).
