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 a Serial Cable

If 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.
