Audio/Video Jacks and Cables
The Audio/Video jacks provide excellent picture and sound quality. They are used for making most Audio/Video connections between components. The Audio/Video jacks may be color coded (yellow for video, red for right audio, and white for left audio). If your component has only one input for audio (mono), connect it to the left (white L/mono) audio jack on the HD DVR.
Component Video Out Jacks and Cables
Component Video Cables are used to connect the HD DVR to an industry standard YPbPr compatible HD Monitor (green for Y, blue for Pb, and red for Pr). Remember to also connect the left and right audio cables. The YPbPr Component jacks carry only the picture signals, not the sound.
DVI-HDTV Cable
DVI cable is used to connect the HD DVR to an industry standard DVIHDTV compatible HD monitor. Remember to also connect the left and right audio cables. A DVI jack carries only the video signals, not the audio.
G-LINK Cable
G-LINK Cable is used to control cable box with the TV Guide On Screen™ System.
TV Guide On Screen System Demo Pin and Tag
Demo Pin consists of a tag and rivet that prevent the TV Guide On Screen System from operating and instead show the Retail Demo feature contained in the HD DVR firmware.
You must remove the Demo Pin from the G-LINK jack and insert the IR Controller in the G-LINK port. This disables the retail Demo feature and allows normal Host device operation.
Remote Control
In addition to the HD DVR, the remote control can be programmed to operate other IR controlled external devices.
Remote Control Operating Range
Point the remote control at the remote sensor and press the buttons.
Distance: About 23 ft (7 m) from the front of the remote sensor.
Angle: About 30° in each direction of the front of the remote sensor.
Remote Control Battery Installation
Remove the battery cover on the rear of the remote control, and install two batteries (size AA) with 
and 
matched correctly.
Caution
Do not mix old and new batteries. Never mix different types of batteries (standard, alkaline, etc.).
