16 Advanced Connections (continued) • Refer to your TV owner’s manual for more information on making connections to your television. 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.

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. PanaHDR P01-.p6500/12/01, 16:37 17
