• PLAY – illuminated when a previously recorded program is being played back. • RECORD – illuminated while a new program is being recorded for future playback. Note: The DVR10 records and plays back different programs at the same time. Both the PLAY and RECORD may be illuminated.
Things to Consider Before You Connect Ensure Proper Ventilation of the DVR10: • Leave at least 4 inches (10 cm) of space between the top and back of the DVR10 and a wall, shelf, or other component. • Leave at least 1” (2.5 cm) of space on the front and sides.
Connecting the DVR10 To connect the DVR10 to a 1394 or DTVLink enabled TV, follow these steps: 1. Connect the female end of the AC power cord to the DVR10 and male end into an AC outlet or surge protector.
The DVR10 has two 1394 ports. This allows you to use one port for connection to your digital television and still have another port for connection of additional 1394 components. Each compatible device connected on the IEEE 1394 chain is shown on the DTV.
The 1394 Recording screen allows you to configure 1394 components that are capable of recording. If the DVR10 is connected and powered on, it appears in the list at the top of the screen. If you have more than one 1394 recording device, you may need to highlight the Recording Device window at the top of the screen and select the DVR10.
DVR10. • The TV must be tuned to the DVR10’s 1394 input channel and the remote in the TV mode to enable transport functions, such as RECORD, STOP, FAST FORWARD, REVERSE, PAUSE, and PLAY.
If the TV is set up to auto tune as previously described, pressing RECORD automatically tunes the TV to the DVR10’s 1394 input and begins recording. If the TV is tuned to an Analog channel, pressing RECORD tunes to the 1394 input but NO recording takes place.
Fast FORWARD and Fast REVERSE Playback The DVR10 gives you the power to Fast Forward or Fast Reverse through both live (currently recording) and previously recorded programs. You cannot fast reverse a program to a point before you started recording it, nor can you fast forward a program to a point beyond the live broadcast.
If an icon in the channel banner is grayed out (dim), the feature is not available. The following list describes the items on the Channel Banner screen applicable to the DVR10. Other displays that are not described here are self-explanatory or further explained in the television manual.
When attempting to record unauthorized copy-protected material, the Record functions of the DVR10 may be prevented or stopped. If REC icon in the Channel Banner is dim, that means the program cannot be recorded.
Care and Cleaning CAUTION: Unplug the DVR10 before cleaning. You can clean the DVR10 as required, using a soft lint-free cloth. Be sure to occasionally dust the ventilation slots in the cabinet to help assure adequate ventilation. Never use strong cleaning agents, such as ammonia-based cleaners, or abrasive powder. These types of cleaners will damage the finish of the DVR10.
