Control Cable Connection.
To record shows or display live TV, the SVR 3000
must change the channel on your cable box or
satellite receiver. To do so, it must send a signal
through either an IR (infrared) or serial control
cable. To connect a control cable, complete
either step
ᕤ or step ᕥ , below.
ᕤ
If you have a DIRECTV ® satellite receiver with
a serial input. Connect the serial control cable
from “Control Out-Serial” on the SVR Recorder to
your satellite box. Skip to step
ᕦ
.
ᕥ
If your cable or satellite box is not a DIRECTV
satellite reciever with a serial input: Plug the
metal end of the IR control cable into “Control
Out-IR” on the SVR Recorder (see the picture
below and to the left). Locate the IR sensor on
the front of the cable or satellite box. It’s usually
a tiny round bulb; if you shine a flashlight into
the plastic window on the front of the box, you
can see it. Mount the other two ends of the IR
cable (the IR emitters) in front of the IR sensor.
You can place the emitters above and below the
box. The emitters should stick out about 1.5”
from the front of the box. Use the provided
adhesive strips to secure the emitters.
