This facility allows you record automatically a satellite programme
which is timer-programmed on your external satellite tuner.
Connect a satellite tuner to the recorder's AV2 IN/DECODER
connector and programme the timer on the satellite tuner; the
recorder starts recording when the signals input from the satellite
tuner to the AV2 IN/DECODER connector, and when there is no
input signals the recorder stops recording and the power shuts off.
