jack on your cable box.
2. Connect the RF cable from the OUT jack on your
cable box to the ANT/CATV IN jack on the Hard
Disk Recorder.
3. Attach the cable box controller. See “Satellite
Receiver and Cable Box Controllers” on page 10.
4. Follow the B ~ E instructions on page 9 for A/V
connection, telephone connection, AC power
connection, and setup.
NOTES
• If your cable box has A/V OUT jacks, connect an A/V
cable from these jacks to the INPUT jacks on the
Hard Disk Recorder instead of using the RF cable.
• Refer to your TV or cable box owner’s manual for more
information on connecting to these components.
Connecting the Hard Disk
Recorder to a TV That Has
a VHF/UHF Jack Only
Use this option if you have a television with a VHF/UHF jack only.
If you do not have a VCR, you will need to purchase and use an
RF modulator.
1. Connect the incoming television signal to the ANT/
CATV IN jack on the Hard Disk Recorder.
2. Connect an A/V cable from the OUTPUT jacks on the
Hard Disk Recorder to the AUDIO/VIDEO IN jacks on
your VCR, matching like colors.
3. Connect the RF cable from the OUT jack on your VCR
to the VHF/UHF jack on your television.
4. Follow the C ~ E instructions on page 9 for  telephone
connection, AC power connection, and setup.
NOTES
• This setup is not recommended for viewing copy-protected
programming. Passing the signal through a VCR may reduce
video quality.
• You will only get mono audio this way. If you need to
purchase an RF modulator, follow the connection instructions
that come with the modulator.
• To use the Hard Disk Recorder with this option, you will need
to set the input on your VCR to display the output from the
Hard Disk Recorder. To do this, press the Input Select or TV/
VTR (TV/VCR) button on your VCR.
• You may also need to tune your TV to the channel that

Watching One Show While
Recording Another on the
Hard Disk Recorder
Use a cable splitter and attach RF cables to both the Hard
Disk Recorder and your television if you want to watch one
show while recording another show on the Hard Disk
Recorder.
1. Connect the incoming RF cable from the wall to the
IN jack on the 2-way splitter.
2. Connect an RF cable from one OUT jack on the 2-way
splitter to the ANT/CATV IN jack on the Hard Disk
Recorder.
3. Connect another RF cable from the other OUT jack
on the 2-way splitter to the VHF/UHF jack on your
television.
4. Follow the C ~ E instructions on page 9 for telephone
connection, AC power connection, and setup.
NOTE
Connecting a Serial CableIf 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.
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 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 DeviceThe 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• 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.
