Basic Connections
The jacks on the back of the Hard Disk Recorder connect to your television, telephone line, and TV signal. You
need at least one input connection, one output connection and a telephone line.
If you receive TV signals from multiple sources, such as cable and satellite, you should connect the Hard Disk
Recorder to all. That way you’ll have easy access to all the channels from all your sources.
For more connections, see pages 10~17.
NOTES
You must complete the on-screen setup before using the Hard Disk Recorder. See “Initial Setup” on pages 18~21.
Before you connect any device to the Hard Disk Recorder:
Be sure there is nothing covering the heat ventilation slots on top of the Hard Disk Recorder. Heat build-up could
interfere with the Hard Disk Recorder’s performance.
Be sure both the Hard Disk Recorder and any connected devices are turned off and unplugged.
Put the Hard Disk Recorder in a place where there is a direct path to the user of the remote control.
Using wireless phone jacks
If there is no phone jack conveniently located near where you have placed the Hard Disk Recorder, consider using
a wireless phone jack system. Wireless phone jacks convert ordinary electrical outlets into phone jacks. They are
available from Panasonic or at electronics stores, and can be installed with no additional wiring or tools.
Be sure to purchase a wireless phone jack that operates at the highest modem speed available (at least 33.6 kbps, V.34).
• Do not connect any component to the INPUT jacks on the Hard Disk Recorder other than a satellite receiver,
direct cable line (or cable box), or a regular antenna signal. You can, however, connect the Hard Disk Recorder to
your VCR to save programs long-term.
• Do not connect video game machines to the Hard Disk Recorder. It is not designed to receive non-standard video
signals like the ones from these devices.
• A DVD player should be connected directly to your television, not to the Hard Disk Recorder.

NOTE
Modifying an older type antenna
If your regular antenna does not have an RF cable and compatible
connector, like the one illustrated (for example, your antenna is 300-ohm
flat twin leads, or separate UHF and VHF antennas) you will need an
adapter or combiner to connect it to the Hard Disk Recorder. These
adapters can be found at most electronics stores.
Input connections from satellite receivers and cable boxes
You can connect the Hard Disk Recorder to a satellite receiver or a cable box that has either S-Video output or
regular composite video output. You can connect two such devices, one S-Video and one composite or,
alternatively, two composites. If you have a choice, use S-Video. It provides a sharper image. See pages 12~15.

Connecting a composite-video television
1. Connect the yellow video cable from one of the yellow
VIDEO terminals in the LINE OUT cluster on the Hard Disk
Recorder to the yellow VIDEO IN terminal on your
television.
2. Connect one end of the red and white audio cables to the
AUDIO terminals in the LINE OUT cluster on the Hard Disk
Recorder that are in line with the yellow video terminal you
used. For example, if you used LINE 1 for video, use LINE 1
for audio.
NOTES
• If your TV has only one AUDIO IN jack, use the white plug and
leave the red plug unattached on both the Hard Disk Recorder and
your television. You may purchase an adapter that combines the
two audio cables and then connect it to the TV’s available AUDIO
jack.
• If your television has an S-video terminal, see page 13.
• If your TV has a VHF/UHF jack only, you need to purchase an RF
modulator. You will only get mono audio this way. However, you can
avoid using an RF modulator by connecting the Hard Disk Recorder
to a VCR. See “Connecting the Hard Disk Recorder to a TV That
Has a VHF/UHF Jack Only” on page 11.
• Refer to your TV’s operating instructions for more information on
connecting devices to your TV.

Connecting the telephone line
You need to connect the Hard Disk Recorder to a telephone jack to communicate with the ReplayTV Service. The
telephone connection is used nightly by the Hard Disk Recorder to receive updates to the Channel Guide and other Hard
Disk Recorder enhancements. The phone connection is also used to update the Hard Disk Recorder with new features,
as they become available.
The Hard Disk Recorder may not be used on coin services provided by the telephone company, and you may not
be able to use the Hard Disk Recorder if you are on a party line or if you use a pulse telephone. Contact your local
telephone company with regard to these matters. If you have an older, 4-prong telephone wall jack, you need a
modular 4-prong adapter (USOC RJA1X).
Connect the supplied telephone cord from the telephone wall jack in your home to the TEL LINE jack on the Hard
Disk Recorder. If the wall jack is being used, plug the supplied telephone splitter into the wall jack. Then plug both
phone lines into the splitter.
Interrupted phone signal
On some phone lines, such as those with voice mail, the normal continuous dial tone can be interrupted. The Hard
Disk Recorder can use a line only when the tone is uninterrupted. If you can’t clear the tone (for example, by
clearing new voice mail messages), you need a different line for the Hard Disk Recorder.
Using the telephone while the Hard Disk Recorder is calling the ReplayTV Service
If you need to use the phone while the Hard Disk Recorder is using the phone line, you’ll need to stop the Hard
Disk Recorder phone call and wait for the dial tone to return. To stop the phone call and return the dial tone:
1. Pick up the handset and wait 5 seconds.
2. Put back the handset and wait 5 seconds.

Advanced Connections
Planning Input and Output Connections
• S-Video connections provide the best picture quality. If your cable box or satellite receiver has an S-Video OUT
jack, use an S-Video cable to connect the device to the Hard Disk Recorder’s S-VIDEO IN jack (regardless of
whether your television has an S-Video IN jack).
• If your cable box or satellite receiver does not have an S-Video OUT jack or an RF OUT jack, use either the LINE 1
or LINE 2 INPUTS with A/V cables to connect to the Hard Disk Recorder.
• If your television has an S-Video IN jack, use an S-Video cable to connect it to the Hard Disk Recorder’s S-VIDEO
OUT jack.
• If you want to use both an antenna and cable as inputs, use a cable box with A/V or S-Video output for cable.
• If your TV does not have A/V inputs, you may need to purchase an RF modulator.
Using the Hard Disk Recorder with A/B Cable
Systems
If an A/B cable switch is present in your setup, the Hard Disk Recorder does not know if the switch is set to A or B.
The Hard Disk Recorder will record shows assuming that the switch is set correctly. Make sure the switch is set to
the proper side, A or B, before recording shows with the Hard Disk Recorder.
Connecting DIRECTV™ receivers
If you are connecting a DIRECTV receiver to one of the Hard Disk Recorder’s inputs and the receiver has a serial
port, use a serial control cable. Otherwise, use the IR (infrared) blaster.
If your DIRECTV receiver has a 15-pin serial connector, use the supplied 15-pin to 9-pin adapter and connect it to
the serial cable. Refer to your DIRECTV owner’s manual regarding connecting to its serial port.
If the remote control for your DIRECTV receiver has a “UHF” label, or if there is a small antenna on the back of your
DIRECTV receiver, you have radio frequency control. Check your receiver owner’s manual to see if serial or
infrared control is supported.
NOTE
• The Hard Disk Recorder does not support radio frequency (RF) control devices. At this time, only the SERIAL
CONTROL port works with DIRECTV.
Connecting Satellite Receivers
If you are connecting a satellite receiver to one of the Hard Disk Recorder’s inputs and the receiver has a serial
port, use a serial control cable. Otherwise, use the IR (infrared) blaster.
If your satellite receiver has a 15-pin serial connector, use the supplied 15-pin to 9-pin adapter and connect it to the
serial cable.
If the remote control for your satellite receiver has a “UHF” label, or if there is a small antenna on the back of your
satellite receiver, you have radio frequency control. You can check your satellite receiver owner’s manual to verify
that serial or infrared control is supported.
NOTE
• The Hard Disk Recorder does not support radio frequency (RF) control devices. At this time, the SERIAL
CONTROL port works with Satellite.
Satellite Receiver and Cable Box Controllers
If you connect a satellite receiver or a cable box to the Hard Disk Recorder, you need to attach a controller cable so
the Hard Disk Recorder can change the channels on these devices, and control recording and viewing of satellite
or cable programming. The controller, either a serial data cable or an IR blaster cable, acts as a remote control for
these devices, sending the same signals that their remote controls do. See “Connecting a Serial Cable” on page 16
if your satellite receiver has a serial connector. If your satellite receiver does not have a serial connector, see
“Connecting and Setting Up the IR Blaster” on page 17.
Output Connections to the Television
You can connect the Hard Disk Recorder to a television that accepts S-Video or composite-video input. Use SVideo, if possible, to obtain a better image. If your television has a VHF/UHF jack only, you must use an RF
modulator or connect the Hard Disk Recorder to your VCR. See “Connecting the Hard Disk Recorder To a TV That
Has a VHF/UHF Jack Only” on page 11, or refer to the Quick Setup Guide.

Attaching Satellite Receiver and Cable Box Controllers
If you connect a satellite receiver or a cable box to the Hard Disk Recorder, you need to attach a controller cable so the Hard Disk
Recorder can change the channels on these devices. The controller, either a serial cable or an IR blaster cable, acts as a remote
control for these devices. When you press the Channel Up and Channel Down buttons on the Hard Disk Recorder remote control,
the channel is changed on your other device. See “Connecting a Serial Cable” if your satellite receiver has a serial connector. If
your satellite receiver or cable box does not have a serial connector, see “Connecting and Setting Up the IR Blaster” on page 17.
Connecting a Serial Cable
If the device you want the Hard Disk Recorder to control has a serial connector, use the
supplied serial cable instead of the supplied IR blaster.
1. Connect the serial cable to the SERIAL CONTROL port on the Hard Disk
Recorder. If your receiver has a 15-pin serial connector, use the supplied
15-pin to 9-pin adapter.
2. Connect the other end of the serial cable to the serial port on your other device.
16
PanaHDR P01-.p65 00/12/01, 16:3716
Connecting and Setting Up the IR Blaster
If your satellite receiver has a serial connector, use the serial connector instead of
the IR blaster. The IR blaster acts as a remote control for your other device. Before
attaching the IR blaster, you must find the infrared detector on the device the Hard
Disk Recorder will control.
Locating the Infrared Detector On the Other Device
The emitter on the end of the IR blaster must be placed directly over the infrared
detector on the other device. The infrared detector is the area that receives the
signals from the remote control. Some infrared detectors are labeled. If the detector
on your other device is not labeled, it is usually behind a dark, nearly opaque plastic
area on the front of the device.
If the infrared detector on the other device is labeled, see “Connecting and Affixing
the IR Blaster” below.
If the infrared detector on the other device is not labeled, follow
these steps.
Refer to the owner’s manual of your cable box or satellite receiver. It may be
shown there.
1. Look for an area of dark, nearly opaque plastic on the front of the other
device. If you find this area, look closely into it. You may be able to see
the infrared detector behind it. If it’s visible, you should see a small
square frame with a reddish area in the center.
This is the infrared detector. If you see the detector, skip to “Connecting
and Affixing the IR Blaster” below.
2. Turn on and start the other device.
3. Shine a flashlight through the dark plastic area on the front of the
device. If you see the infrared detector, skip to “Connecting and Affixing
the IR Blaster” below.
4. Using the remote control for your cable box or satellite receiver, turn the
power on and off. Don’t use the Hard Disk Recorder remote control.
5. With the remote control in one hand, place the other hand over one
section of the front of the unit.
6. Try to turn the power on and off again. If you succeed, your hand is not
covering the infrared detector.
7. Move your hand to a different place on the front of the unit and repeat
steps 5 and 6. Keep repeating in this way until you can’t turn the power
on and off. At this point, your hand is covering the infrared detector.
8. Look closely for the infrared detector at the spot your hand is covering.
Even if you are not sure you have found the infrared detector, you have
likely found the spot.
Connecting and Affixing the IR Blaster
1. Plug the IR blaster cable into the IR BLASTER PORT on the back of
the Hard Disk Recorder.
2. Peel off the protective cover from one of the emitters on the IR blaster.
This will expose the adhesive material on the emitter for placement on
your other device.
3. Affix the adhesive side of the emitter to the dark plastic area, directly
over the center of the infrared detector.
NOTE
PanaHDR P01-.p65 00/12/01, 16:3717
• If you have only one device you want the Hard Disk Recorder to
control, hide the unused emitter behind the equipment, away from
any detectors.
