Connect the Recorder to the TV, Audio Components, and Internet

There are four steps to connecting the Recorder.

• Connect a TV source or multiple TV sources (standard cable, digital

cable, satellite receiver, or antenna) to the Recorder.

• Connect the video and audio from the Recorder to the TV. (If

you have a Home Theater system, you can connect the audio to

the amplier or receiver instead of the TV.)

• Connect the Recorder to the Internet (broadband or dial-up service)

to download the Program Guide and Software Updates.

• Program the Recorder remote control to operate the TV.

More information about each step is provided in the following sections.

Connect to the TV source

The TV source provides the TV service to your home. The TV source is typically an antenna, a standard cable, a digital cable service, or a satellite service.

Notes

connection as specied in the following instructions, refer to the

TV documentation.

· Depending on the TV service, you can connect the service to the

Recorder by using a S-Video cable, a composite cable, or an RF/coax

cable. See the following sections for connection instructions.

· When you connect a digital cable set-top box or a satellite set-top

box to the Recorder, you must use composite or S-Video cables. Using an RF/coax cable to connect a cable set-top box or a satellite set-top box to the Recorder is not supported.

Using Composite versus 480i/480p

Composite

480i

480p

• When using composite or S-Video cables, make sure the composite/

480i/480p switch is set to Composite.

• When using Component cables, make sure the switch is set to 480i

(interlaced) or 480p (progressive scan), depending on your TV. If your

TV supports both 480i and 480p, select 480p. To determine if your TV supports 480i or 480p, refer to your TV documentation.

• To change the switch after you have been using the Recorder, make

sure the Recorder is in Standby mode. To place the Recorder into Standby mode, press POWER on the front of the Recorder or POWER

on the remote. When the Recorder is in Standby mode, the Power light will turn off and the time displays on the front panel. Change the switch and then turn on the Recorder.

The IR Control Cable and the Serial Data Control Cable

If you have digital cable TV service or satellite TV service, you must use the IR control cable or the serial data control cable to connect the Recorder to the digital cable set-top box or the satellite receiver set-

top box. When you change the channels by using the remote or when the Recorder must change the channel to record a show you have

scheduled, the IR control cable or the serial data control cable sends a code to the set-top box to change the channel.

The IR control cable works with any set-top box that has a remote

control. Plug the mini-jack on the cable into the Recorder, and then place the other end of the cable in front of the remote control receiver (or sensor) on the front of the set-top box.

The serial data control cable can only be connected to a satellite set-top

box with a 9-pin serial input port. The mini-plug on the cable connects

to the Recorder.

9-pin serial port

Notes

•

The serial data control cable provides the best connection between the Recorder and a satellite set-top box. However, only a few satellite set-top

boxes have a serial input port. If your satellite set-top box does not have this serial input port, you must use the IR control cable.

• During the on-screen setup process, the Recorder will ask you to select the

brand and a manufacturer code for the digital cable or satellite set-top

box to which your recorder is connected. Selecting the right brand and manufacturer code will allow the recorder to change channels on the cable

or satellite set-top box using the IR control cable or serial control cable.

• Some satellite set-top boxes—including some DirecTV set-top boxes with

Home Control or non-standard serial connections—require an additional cable to connect the Recorder to the satellite set-top box. To determine if your satellite set-top box requires this cable or to purchase the cable, contact your satellite set-top box retailer or the satellite service provider.

• Do not connect both the IR control cable and the serial data control cable to

the satellite set-top box at the same time.

• Before you connect the serial data control cable, make sure the power cord

for the Recorder and the power cord for the satellite set-top box are not plugged into a power outlet or power strip.

The remote control receiver/sensor is usually behind a small window

on the front panel of the set-top box. If you cannot locate the

receiver, shine a ashlight along the front of the set-top box. Refer

to the set-top box documentation or contact your cable service or satellite service provider for more information.

4. Place the IR control cable blaster in front of the remote control

sensor and press the top of the blaster (with the adhesive tape) to the surface below the set-top box.
