Notes
Use thIS example If you have a satellite set-top box and eIther an antenna or cable (WIth
no cable box), and a VCR.
• Since you use a 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.
• A senal connection works better than
IR, so use senal If possible.
• If your satellite set-top box has two
Jacks that look like Serial Control Jacks,
use the one labeled "low speed data."
You may need to use the 9 to 25 pin
senal adapter (supplied) to match your
box.

If your satellite set-top box has a Senal In Jack, you can

IR Connection -

Jack on the back of the SVR Recorder.
Next, locate the IR receIver on your satellite set-top box -It'S usually a small dark
red wmdow or button on the front of the box. Place the IR EmItter (from the IR

EmItter has an adheSIve stnp so you can adhere It to the set-top box. If It IS not
