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.

Choose Number of Digits and How You Change Channels

If you have digital cable service or satellite service, select the highest number of channels you receive through your cable set-top box or

satellite set-top box: two digits, three digits, or four digits.

Note The Recorder adds leading zeros to channel numbers that have

fewer digits than you selected above. For example, if you select “4digits” the Recorder sends “0044” to the digital cable set-top box or the satellite set-top box to change to channel 44. If the channel does not

change correctly, the set-top box may not recognize the leading zeros. To correct this, select Yes, I have to press ENTER or OK on the How do

you change channels? page. You can change this setting by selecting Start > Settings > Guide Setup > Set up TV Signal and Guide.

When you have to enter a channel manually, how do you enter it? Do you:

• Enter the channel number using a remote control, and then the

channel changes?

• Enter the channel number using a remote control, and then

press OK or ENTER to change the channel?

If you press OK or ENTER, the Recorder enter the OK or ENTER for you. When you enter a channel number by using the Recorder remote, the

Recorder will also “press” OK for you; you won’t have to press it.

After you select the actions that change the channels, set up the Recorder to change the channels by using the IR control cable or the serial data control cable.

Note Although many cable set-top boxes and satellite set-top boxes do not require you to press OK or ENTER to change a channel by using the set-top box remote control, some of these set-top boxes cannot be

controlled by the Recorder remote control without OK or ENTER being pressed. You may need to select the OK or ENTER option if you nd the

Recorder remote does not change the set-top box channels properly.

6. Set up the Recorder to Change Channels on the Set-top Box

If you have digital cable or satellite TV service, you must connect the cable set-top box or the satellite set-top box to the Recorder so the Recorder can change the channels on the set-top box.

Important For the Recorder to record programs received through a cable set-top box or a satellite set-top box, the cable set-top box or the satellite set-top box must remain turned on at all times.

The IR Control Cable and the Serial Data Control Cable

The Recorder includes two cables used to change channels on a set-

top box. Some satellite set-top boxes have a 9-pin serial input port that is connected to the Recorder by using the serial data control cable. Digital set-top boxes and most satellite set-top boxes are connected to

the Recorder with an IR control cable. These cables allow the Recorder

to send the same codes that the set-top box remote controls send to change channels on the set-top boxes.

Note Many cable set-top boxes and satellite set-top boxes do not require you to press OK or ENTER to change a channel by using the set-

top box remote control. However, some of these set-top boxes cannot be controlled by the Recorder remote without using OK or ENTER. To change to using OK or ENTER when changing channels, display the

Start menu and select Settings > Guide Listings > Set up TV Signal and Guide.

Prepare for Set-top Box Setup If you have satellite TV service, select Use a serial cable or Use an

IR cable.

Note Some satellite set-top boxes have a 9-pin serial port that does not support input information. In this case, make sure you connect the IR control cable instead of the serial cable. For more information, see

your satellite service hardware documentation.

Video Test

On the Video Test page, make sure a TV show is playing on the page. If a show is playing, select Next. If a show is not playing, verify your connections between the TV service set-top box and the Recorder.

For more information, see Connect the Recorder to the TV, Audio Components, and Internet.

Select Remote Control Code

You must determine which set of codes the Recorder will use to change

the channels on the set-top box. The list of codes displayed onscreen are based on the brand of set-top box you selected. Each brand of set-top

box can have multiple sets of codes. One code will be tested at a time; if the code does not work, select another code to test.

Test Changing Channels

This test checks to see if the code you selected will change channels.

Use the numeric keypad on the Recorder remote to change to the

lowest channel you receive through your set-top box—such as

channel 2.

Note In this test the channel does not need to change to the lowest channel; the TV image just needs to change to another channel.

• If the channel changed to a different show, select The channel

changed.

• If the channel did not change to another show, select Try another

code. Select another remote control code and run this test again.

Speed Test

At this point the code is tested for changing to the correct channel. In addition, some remote controls send codes more quickly than other remote controls. The speed test also tests the speed the Recorder should send the code to the set-top box.

There are three possible speeds: Fast, Medium, and Slow. The rst

speed tested is Fast.

To test the speed

1. Tune to the highest channel you receive through the set-top box

by using the numeric keypad on the Recorder remote—the highest

channel in your channel list, such as channel 599 or channel 9406.

2. Change the channel at least six more times by using the numeric

keypad on the remote.

• If the channel changed correctly each time, select The channel

changed.

• If the channel did not change correctly each time, select Try

another speed.

If the fast speed test fails, repeat the same procedure for the medium

speed test. It the medium test fails, try the slow speed test. If the slow

speed test fails, select Try another code and select a different remote control code to test.

Recorder Remote Control Settings

After all of the remote control settings for the Recorder are set up, the

Recorder displays the nal settings it will use to change the channels.
