Use this example if you have a cable or satellite set-top box, the satellite box has no
serial input jack, and the cable or satellite box has no Composite Video and L/R audio
output jacks.
1 Connect the SVR Recorder to your cable or satellite box.
Since you use a cable set-top box or satellite set-top box to receive your television
signal, the SVR Recorder needs to be able to change channels on your box in
order to record shows and display live TV.
Connect the SVR Recorder to the infrared (IR) receiver of your box using the IR
Control cable (supplied). Start by plugging the IR Control cable into the Cntrl Out
IR jack on the back of the SVR Recorder. Next, locate the IR receiver on your box
– it’s a small dark red window or button on the box’s front.
Place the IR Emitter (from the IR Control cable) on top of your set-top box,
sticking out slightly. The IR Emitter has an adhesive strip so you can adhere it to
the set-top box. Position the IR Emitter in front of or as close as possible to the
window.
2 Connect your program source to the SVR Recorder.
Find the RF coaxial cable coming from the RF Out jack of your satellite box or
cable set-top box. This cable is probably already hooked up to your VCR or TV; if
so, disconnect it. Now connect this cable to the RF In jack on the back of the SVR
Recorder.
3 Continue.
Now continue with step 3 on page 32.
