Connecting Your Equipment Note A serial connection works better than IR, so use serial when possible. Use this example if you have a satellite set-top box with a serial connection, and your satellite set-top box uses S-video cables. 1 Connect the SVR Recorder to your satellite set-top box. Connect one end of the Serial Control cable (supplied) to the Cntrl Out Serial In jack on the back of the SVR Recorder. Your satellite set-top box may have two jacks that look like Serial Control jacks. If so, use the one labeled "low speed data." You may need to use the 9 to 25 pin serial adapter (supplied) to match your jacks, or the RCA Home Control cable (for some RCA boxes). 2 Connect your program source/video input to the SVR Recorder. Disconnect any cables that you have connecting your satellite set-top box to your VCR and/or TV. Use the S-Video cable (supplied) to connect the S-Video Out of your satellite set-top box to the S-Video input on the back of the SVR Recorder. You must also use the left (white) and right (red) Audio/Video cables to connect the Audio Out on your satellite set-top box to Audio In on the back of the SVR Recorder, as illustrated here. 3 Continue.
