DVR IN THE HOME DOCKING STATION

use of the tuner built into your TV. To record programming,
you must connect the DVR to your TV. Connect the docking
station’s “AV IN” audio/video jacks to a composite audio/video
source output on your TV using the supplied video cables. In

video sources, including the ones listed below:

dock you will NOT be able to view the DVR content. This
connection is purely used for recording purposes.

To allow viewing of video content from the DVR, you must
also connect the docking station’s “AV OUT” audio/video jacks
using the supplied RCA cables to one of the available source
inputs of your TV. If your TV does not support composite audio
inputs, you can use a composite audio/video to coaxial converter that can be purchased at most local electronics stores.
