Chapter 2 Connections :: Basic Connections g de ni t tte ra G tS s no it ce n no C This chapter describes how to connect ReplayTV to your TV and other devices, including your home network. You will find detailed connection options not found on the Quick Setup Guide. If you have not already, take a look at the Quick Setup Guide before reading this chapter. Cable Overview You may not need to use all the cables provided with ReplayTV.
If your satellite receiver uses a 15-pin serial cable, you will need to use the 9-pin to 15-pin adapter to connect the satellite receiver to ReplayTV. If you have a satellite 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.
:: Planning your Setup g de ni t tte ra G tS Read this section before incorporating ReplayTV into your entertainment system. Incorporating ReplayTV into your Entertainment System ReplayTV controls and records the television signals you receive (satellite, cable, antenna, or a combination of all three). The signal(s) connect directly to the ReplayTV inputs. The outputs from ReplayTV connect to a television, monitor, or A/V receiver.
Connecting ReplayTV to a VCR Connect ReplayTV to a VCR if you want to watch or save your recordings on videotape. Deleting recordings from the Replay Guide will preserve hard drive space. • Connect an A/V cable from the OUTPUT jacks on ReplayTV to the AUDIO/VIDEO IN jacks on your VCR, matching like colors. Connecting a Video Camera or VCR to ReplayTV • You can connect a video camera or VCR from its Outputs to the Inputs on ReplayTV and record the content onto ReplayTV using the Manual Record feature.
If the infrared detector on the unit is not labeled, follow these steps: 1 Refer to the owner’s manual of your cable box or satellite receiver. It may be shown there. 2 Look for an area of dark, nearly opaque plastic on the front of the unit. If you find this area, look closely into it. You may be able to see the infrared detector behind it. If it is visible, you should see a small square frame with a reddish area in the center. This is the infrared detector. Skip to “Connect and affix the IR blaster.
Completing the On-screen Setup After completing all the connections to your components and home network (if you chose to do so), you will need to complete ReplayTV’s on-screen setup process.
Connecting ReplayTV to a Cable Modem Using a router to connect ReplayTV to your cable modem is recommended. The router will allow you to share your cable modem without needing additional IP addresses from your Internet Service Provider (ISP). Also, your ISP may require that you log on or use special software on your PC in order to access the Internet. Consult your ISP for requirements. Refer to the following connection examples for details.
Connecting to a hub or switch (no router) 1 2 3 4 If you are connecting ReplayTV directly to a hub or switch that is connected to your cable modem, you will need an IP address from your ISP for ReplayTV. Before setting up ReplayTV, you should verify with your ISP that a device like ReplayTV is supported. You may need to specify the IP address on ReplayTV. Verify that there is no special software or log on required for Internet access.
Connecting ReplayTV to a DSL Modem Connecting ReplayTV to a DSL modem is the same as connecting it to a cable modem with a few exceptions. Refer to “Connecting ReplayTV to a Cable Modem” on page 13 with the following additions. • The DSL modem you own might be a DSL router. If you are not sure, contact your ISP or DSL modem provider. If it is a router, it can automatically assign an IP address to ReplayTV.
5 When you first go to the ReplayTV Internet Address Book, you are asked to open a port number on your router. This is only required if you will be sending recordings to other ReplayTVs. The port number must be associated with the IP address of ReplayTV. If you have multiple ReplayTVs, each must use a different port to share recordings.
Using ReplayTV with Firewall Software Sending recording to other ReplayTVs requires a port to be forwarded through your router (or firewall) for incoming network connections. If you have a firewall on your computer or network, it needs to be configured properly or ReplayTV will not be able to receive Channel Guide listings and software updates from the ReplayTV Service. If you do not know how to open ports on your firewall software, refer to the documentation that shipped with the software.
Determining the ReplayTV MAC (Media Access Control) Address Every Ethernet device has a unique hardware number. Follow these steps to find the ReplayTV Mac address. 1 Go to the DOS or Command prompt on your PC. 2 Type “Ping (ReplayTV’s IP address)” and press Enter. 3 Type “Arp -a” and press Enter. You will see a list of hardware addresses and associated IP addresses. Look for the hardware address associated with ReplayTV’s IP address.
Finding your Computer’s Network Information If your home network does not have a DHCP server (a router, for example), you will need to manually set the IP address on ReplayTV. You can use the network information from your computer to determine what the IP address should be. Following are steps to find this information for common computer systems. Windows 9x or Millennium 1 2 3 Go to the Start menu on your PC and select Run. Type WINIPCFG and select OK. Select the correct network adapter from the menu.

:: Replay Zones You can quickly and easily find what’s on TV, organized in user-friendly categories, using Replay Zones.

ings park in reserved spots, but they will be promptly towed if a guaranteed recording needs to park. After all, the non-guaranteed recording was parking in the guaranteed recording’s spot. Recording Priorities If you have created many Replay channels, it is possible that eventually two scheduled recordings will conflict with each other.
If you set a Show-based channel to record all episodes, the oldest episode will be recycled to make room for a new episode when the channel is full. Theme-based Channels Guaranteed Theme-based channels are designed to hold a specific amount of programming (1/2 hour, 2 hours, etc.). Twenty-four hours after being recorded, the oldest program will be recycled to make room for a new program when the channel is full.
