Watching One Show WhileRecording Another on theHard 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 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.
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.
