Connecting a composite-video television

1. Connect the yellow video cable from one of the yellow

VIDEO terminals in the LINE OUT cluster on the Hard Disk
Recorder to the yellow VIDEO IN terminal on your
television.

2. Connect one end of the red and white audio cables to the

AUDIO terminals in the LINE OUT cluster on the Hard Disk
Recorder that are in line with the yellow video terminal you
used. For example, if you used LINE 1 for video, use LINE 1
for audio.

You need to connect the Hard Disk Recorder to a telephone jack to communicate with the ReplayTV Service. The
telephone connection is used nightly by the Hard Disk Recorder to receive updates to the Channel Guide and other Hard
Disk Recorder enhancements. The phone connection is also used to update the Hard Disk Recorder with new features,
as they become available.

The Hard Disk Recorder may not be used on coin services provided by the telephone company, and you may not
be able to use the Hard Disk Recorder if you are on a party line or if you use a pulse telephone. Contact your local
telephone company with regard to these matters. If you have an older, 4-prong telephone wall jack, you need a
modular 4-prong adapter (USOC RJA1X).

Connect the supplied telephone cord from the telephone wall jack in your home to the TEL LINE jack on the Hard
Disk Recorder. If the wall jack is being used, plug the supplied telephone splitter into the wall jack. Then plug both
phone lines into the splitter.

Interrupted phone signal

On some phone lines, such as those with voice mail, the normal continuous dial tone can be interrupted. The Hard
Disk Recorder can use a line only when the tone is uninterrupted. If you can’t clear the tone (for example, by
clearing new voice mail messages), you need a different line for the Hard Disk Recorder.

Using the telephone while the Hard Disk Recorder is calling the ReplayTV Service

If you need to use the phone while the Hard Disk Recorder is using the phone line, you’ll need to stop the Hard
Disk Recorder phone call and wait for the dial tone to return. To stop the phone call and return the dial tone:
1. Pick up the handset and wait 5 seconds.
2. Put back the handset and wait 5 seconds.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2.
4. Pick up the handset and wait 5 more seconds.
5. At this point, you should hear the dial tone. Enter a phone number within 8 seconds; otherwise,

the Hard Disk Recorder will automatically reconnect to the service.

NOTES

Connecting the telephone line

• If your TV has only one AUDIO IN jack, use the white plug and

leave the red plug unattached on both the Hard Disk Recorder and
your television. You may purchase an adapter that combines the
two audio cables and then connect it to the TV’s available AUDIO
jack.

• If your television has an S-video terminal, see page 13.
• If your TV has a VHF/UHF jack only, you need to purchase an RF

modulator. You will only get mono audio this way. However, you can
avoid using an RF modulator by connecting the Hard Disk Recorder
to a VCR. See “Connecting the Hard Disk Recorder to a TV That
Has a VHF/UHF Jack Only” on page 11.

• Refer to your TV’s operating instructions for more information on

connecting devices to your TV.
