Chapter Two: Connecting your ReplayTV
15
Connecting ReplayTV to an A/V receiver
1. Connect the incoming television signal to your ReplayTV. Refer to the Quick
Setup guide for detailed instructions.
2. Connect an A/V cable from the OUTPUT jacks on your ReplayTV to the AUDIO/
VIDEO IN jacks on your A/V receiver, matching like colors. Use an S-Video
cable if your receiver has S-Video In.
Connecting cable box and satellite receiver controllers
If you connect a satellite receiver or a cable box to your ReplayTV, you will need to attach
a controller cable so ReplayTV can change the channels on either of these components.
The controller, either a serial cable or an IR blaster cable, will act as a remote control for
these devices.
Connecting the serial cable
If your satellite receiver or cable box supports serial cable, use the provided serial cable as
a controlling cable. Connect the serial cable to the SERIAL CONTROL connector on
ReplayTV and to the serial port on your cable box or satellite receiver. If your receiver
uses a 15-pin serial connector, use the supplied 15-pin to 9-pin adapter. If you have a satel-
lite receiver that uses telephone cable in place of serial cable, you will need to use the RJH
to 9-pin adapter to connect the satellite receiver to ReplayTV. RCA models DRD221RD,
DRD222RD, DRD223RD, and DS2122RD will all require this adapter.
