Satellite Link - Magnavox MDR161V Owner's Manual

Satellite Link

You can set the unit to start recording whenever it detects
the video signal from the external tuner.
Preparing for the satellite link timer recording:
Preparation on the tuner
• The satellite link accepts only the connection from L1 (rear)
with the external tuner. (The connection from L2 cannot
read any signals from the external tuner.)
• The external tuner should be equipped with some kind
of timer function. Using the timer function of the tuner,
set it to output audio/video signals when it is time to start
recording, and stop output audio/video signals when it is
time to finish recording. Refer to the tuner's manual on
how to set the timer.
• Make sure to set the satellite link standby mode when you
finish programming.
