Chapter 1: Overview & Setup
Introduction
The DVR10 is a Digital Video Recorder designed specically for High Denition Television (HDTV).
The DVR10 connects to a Digital Television (DTV) via IEEE 1394 to offer control over the digital
video playback. Think of it as a “tape-less” VCR for digital television. You can pause, fast forward,
reverse, or use instant replay, so you’ll never miss a moment. But unlike a traditional VCR where
you wait for a program to nish recording before you start watching it, the DVR10 allows you
to “Pause Live TV.” This means you can pause, rewind, and play back a program as it is being
recorded. Record all of your favorite programs while maintaining the same high quality digital
picture that it was broadcast in.
Requirements
Digital Television with at least one IEEE 1394 jack and supports AV/C (Audio/Video commands)
List of Contents
• DVR10 Unit
• A/C Power Cord
• IEEE 1394 Cable
Device Description
DVR10 Front
The front of the DVR10 has a clean professional look to coincide with your other high-end audio/
video equipment. It has backlit text display to indicate the status of the unit.
• POWER – illuminated when the unit is plugged in to an AC power source.
• PLAY – illuminated when a previously recorded program is being played back.

DVR10 Back
The back of the DVR10 has two 6-pin DTVLink® or IEEE 1394 ports and an A/C power cord
connector. Devices using IEEE 1394 interface can be connected to either port. Devices certied as
DTVLink use the same IEEE 1394 interface but also include advanced copy protection schemes to
send and receive encrypted or copy protected content.

Things to Consider Before You Connect
Ensure Proper Ventilation of the DVR10:
• Leave at least 4 inches (10 cm) of space between the top and back of the DVR10 and a wall,
shelf, or other component.
• Leave at least 1” (2.5 cm) of space on the front and sides.
• Do not block ventilation holes on any of the components.
• Arrange the components so that air can circulate freely.
• Do not stack components on top of the DVR10.
• When you place components in a stand, make sure you allow adequate ventilation.
• If you connect an audio receiver or amplier, place it on the top shelf so the heated air from
it won’t ow around other components.
