3. Connect another set of audio and video cables between the VCR and
the TV.
4. Play the recorded program while recording with the VCR.
Figure 42: Example of connections between the media center and DVCR
The TV now has at least two sets of video cables: one to watch live or
recorded programming from the media center, and another to watch
recorded programming from the VCR.
There are several IEEE 1394 connector options. Make sure you have a
cable with the large 4-pin or 6-pin connector at one end for the media
center and, at the other end, a connector that fits the digital VCR (see
figure 43).

The next steps
• If you have not already, go schedule some record-
ings. See Using Moxi on page 7.
• For help, see Troubleshooting on page 71.
• Do you have a specific question? Use the
Glossary on page 93 and Index on page 97 to find
the answer.
There are three types of IEEE 1394 connectors:
6-pin powered
4-pin unpowered (used on media center)
4-pin (used on many digital media devices)
A cable with a 6-pin connector works in the larger 4-pin
port but does not supply power to the secondary device.
