Choosing the archive connection

Signal flows from the Moxi DVR to the TV and also to the VCR or other secondary device. Never install the secondary device in the primary connection between the Moxi DVR and the TV.

Variations in VCR and TV technology present many connection options. Determine which connection is used between the TV and the Moxi, and then use an alternate connection to the VCR.

When selecting the connections, consider the video resolution.

For HD programming, use a connection that supports 720p and/or 1080i.

For standard definition (480i), use any video connection except the one used by the TV. See the following table for the resolu- tions supported by each connection.

Table 6: Video connections and supported resolutions

You can connect a secondary, digital monitor using the IEEE 1394 port, but the monitor will not display the Moxi Menu, any other user interface graphics, or the playback of recorded TV stored on your Moxi 3012 (see IEEE 1394 Connectors on page 60).

Archiving simplified

The Moxi 3012 permits personal archiving subject to all applicable third party limitations. To archive a program, you must play back the recorded program while recording it to a connected recording device (such as a VCR). When recording to a VCR from any port, all on-screen activities are recorded. This includes channel changes, navigation of the Moxi Menu, system sounds, and playback actions (pause, stop, rewind, and fast-forward).
