Read this section before incorporating ReplayTV into your entertainment system.
ReplayTV controls and records the television signals you receive (satellite, cable, antenna, or a combination of all three). The sig-
nal(s) connect directly to the ReplayTV inputs. The outputs from ReplayTV connect to a television, monitor, or A/V receiver. You
can also connect a VCR to ReplayTV and save shows you have recorded to videotape. See “Saving Recordings to Videotape” on
page 46 for more information. ReplayTV is not intended to record signals sent by DVD players and video game systems. Connect
DVD players and video game systems directly to your television, not to ReplayTV.
ReplayTV receives broadcast signals from satellite receivers through S-Video or A/V cables. ReplayTV can send channel-changing
signals to your satellite receiver through the supplied serial cable or IR blaster. It is recommended that you connect your ReplayTV
to your satellite receiver using a serial cable. Use the IR blaster if your satellite receiver does not have a serial port.
If the remote control for your satellite receiver has a “UHF” label, or if your satellite receiver uses a small antenna, your satellite
receiver is radio controlled. ReplayTV does not support radio-controlled receivers. Check your receiver’sowner’s manual to see if
serial or infrared controls are supported.
1 Connect the incoming television signal to ReplayTV. Refer to the
Quick Setup Guide for detailed instructions.
2 Connect an A/V cable from the OUTPUT jacks on ReplayTV to the
AUDIO/VIDEO IN jacks on your A/V receiver, matching like col-
ors. Use an S-Video cable if your receiver has S-Video In.
3 Refer to the Quick Setup Guide to complete the remaining connec-
tions.
