Magnavox GDV228MG9 owner manual Satellite Link, Copying a Cassette Tape

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:

Preparation on the tuner

•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 timer function of the tuner, set it to output audio/video signals when it comes to the time you want to start recording, and stop output audio/video signals when it comes to the time you want to finish recording. Refer to the tuner’s manual on how to set the timer.

•Make sure to turn off the tuner when you finish setting.
