Audio/Video Jacks and Cables

The Audio/Video jacks provide excellent picture and sound quality. They are used for making most Audio/Video connections between components. The

Audio/Video jacks may be color coded (yellow for video, red for right audio, and white for left audio). If your component has only one input for audio

(mono), connect it to the left (white L/mono) audio jack on the HD DVR.

Component Video Out Jacks and Cables

Component Video Cables are used to connect the HD DVR to an industry standard YPbPr compatible HD Monitor (green for Y, blue for Pb, and red for Pr). Remember to also connect the left and right audio cables. The

YPbPr Component jacks carry only the picture signals, not the sound.

DVI-HDTV Cable

DVI cable is used to connect the HD DVR to an industry standard DVI-

HDTV compatible HD monitor. Remember to also connect the left and right audio cables. A DVI jack carries only the video signals, not the audio.

CC2 is rarely available and broadcasters use it only in special circumstances, such as when CC1 and CC3 are not available.

CC3 (Caption3): CC3 serves as an alternate captioning service channel.

Captions are often a secondary language translation such as French,

Spanish, simplified English or displayed at a slower rate.

CC4 (Caption4): CC4 is another special non-synchronous caption service that does not need to be in sync with the sound and may provide simplified captioning, usually delayed. CC4 is rarely available and broadcasters use

CC4 only in special circumstances, such as when CC1 and CC3 are not available.

Text1: Text1 is the primary text service used by broadcasters. Text1 usually displays information at the bottom screen and is used for a data service, generally not program related.

Text2-3-4: Text2-3-4 are text services used by broadcasters but are rarely available. Broadcasters use Text2-3-4 only in special circumstances, such as when Text1 is not available.

Tile

Tile content, size, and color may differ from service to service, and some services may have multiple-sized tiles (for example, Listings). Tile contents include high-level information (for example, program titles) and feature icons (for example, Record). Background colors provide at-a-glance categorization of tiles.

Listings Tiles – Displays program title, genre colors, feature icons for recording or favorites, and program continuation arrows.

Green: Sports

Purple: Movies

Blue: Children’s

Teal: Other Genre

Channel Logo Tiles – Displays the Channel Logo and the station call letters. The top-most Channel Logo tile reads “Last Channel” and contains information related to the channel last viewed in TV Mode before entering

Guide Mode. Channel Logo Tiles are displayed with Listings Tiles.

Schedule Tiles – Displays the program title, feature icon (favorite program shows heart icon and recording program shows ‘R’ icon), frequency text (Once, Regularly, Weekly, and Off), and the time to start. Schedule Tiles are the same colors as in Listings tiles.

Channel Editor Tiles – Displays the channel logo, the call letters, and channel number. For the detail information, refer to the Channel Editor in page 60.

Programming the Remote Control to Operate Other Devices

The HD DVR remote control is a multi-brand universal remote control that can be programmed to operate most remote-controllable devices from other manufacturers.

ote

The remote control may not be able to control all models of other brands.

11 Test your remote control.

To find out whether your remote control can operate a device without programming, turn on the device such as a VCR and select the corresponding mode (VCR) using MODE on the remote control while pointing at the device. Use POWER and CH +/– buttons to see if the device responds properly. If not, the remote control mode needs to be programmed to operate the device.

Turn on the device to be programmed. Then select the corresponding mode (VCR, AUX, TV, DVD or STB) with the MODE button on the remote control.

Press POWER and MUTE buttons simultaneously.

The remote control is now ready to program a code for the device.

There are two ways to find the correct code for the device.

First, if you press CH + buttons repeatedly, the codes will change one at a time. If the right code is found, the device will turn off.

Second, enter the code number using the number buttons on the remote control. Code numbers for various device can be found on the following pages. If the code is correct, the device will turn off.

Press EXIT button to store the programming code.

Test the remote control functions to see if the device responds properly. If not, repeat from step 2 to step 6 above.
