Serial Control
Connect Serial Control cable
Plug the Serial Control cable into

other end into the Channel Change/Serial
connector (the lower mini-jack) on your Recorder.

IR Control
Connect IR Control cable
If you didn't use Serial Control, plug the purple end
of the IR Control cable into the Channel Change/IR
connector (the upper mini-jack) on the Recorder.
This cable allows the Recorder to change channels
by sending infrared (IR) signals to the cable box or
satellite receiver.
Locate IR sensor on cable box or satellite
receiver
You must locate the IR sensor on the front of the
cable box or satellite receiver. It's a tiny round
bulb; if you shine a flashlight into the plastic
"window," you can see it.
Mount IR emitters onto cable box or satellite
receiver
Mount the emitters in front of the IR sensor (one on
top of the box and one on bottom). Be sure both
emitters stick out about 1 ½ inches directly in
front of the IR sensor. Then use the adhesive strips
provided to keep them in place.
