Use the auto start feature. Set your DN receiver timer, then turn the DN receiver off. When the timer is activated, it will turn the DN receiver on and the DVR-510's auto start feature will sense the signal, turn the unit on and start recording. When the timer turns off the DN receiver, the DVR-510 will stop recording, and turn back off.
I also have this feature on my JVC S-VHS VCR and it's very nice to have. The JVC has both the auto start feature and an IR blaster. It would be nice to have both on the 510.
To use the auto start feature, hold the front panel function button in for 3 seconds until the unit turns off and auto is displayed in the LCD screen.
This works better than any IR blaster. I haven't had any luck with IR blasters, they have a 50% chance of working correctly.
Have a good one.
