Satellite Link

You can set the unit to start recording whenever it detects a video signal from the external tuner.
Preparing for the Satellite Link Timer Recording:

function of the tuner, set it to be turned on when it comes to the time you want to start
recording, and off when it comes to the time you want to finish recording. (Refer to the
tuner's manual on how to set the timer.)
