EZ Scan finds channels which have a signal present and are actively being broadcast. Some broadcast-  
ers do not provide or send or broadcast a signal continuously. As a result, some DTV channels may not

Scan again; when the DTV channel is actually sending out a program.

Unpacking HD DVR and Accessories/Connection Overview  
Make sure you have received all the accessories listed below with the HD DVR.  
HDTV DIGITAL VIDEO RECORDER / RECEIVER (HD DVR)  
This HD DVR is capable of receiving signals from cable and/or over-the-air antenna sources.  
Included with the HD DVR are the following accessories.  
Audio Cable/Video Cable/Component (YPbPr) Cable/G-LINK cable  
Remote Control and 2 AA Batteries  
Audio/Video Jacks and Cables  
The Audio/Video jacks provide excellent picture and sound quality. They are  
used for making most Audio/Video connections between components. The  
Audio/Video jacks may be color coded (yellow for video, red for right audio,  
and white for left audio). If your component has only one input for audio  
(mono), connect it to the left (white L/mono) audio jack on the HD DVR.  
Component Video Out Jacks and Cables  
Component Video Cables are used to connect the HD DVR to an industry  
standard YPbPr compatible HD Monitor (green for Y, blue for Pb, and red  
for Pr). Remember to also connect the left and right audio cables. The  
YPbPr Component jacks carry only the picture signals, not the sound.  
DVI-HDTV port and Cable  
DVI cable is used to connect the HD DVR to an industry standard DVI-  
HDTV compatible HD monitor. A DVI jack carries only the video signals, not  
the audio.  
G-LINK cable  
G-LINK Cable is used to control cable box with the TV Guide On Screen™  
system.  
TV Guide On Screen system Demo Pin and Tag  
Demo Pin consists of a tag and rivet that restricts the TV Guide On Screen  
system. Retail Demo feature contained in the HD DVR firmware.  
You must remove the Demo Pin from the G-LINK jack and insert the IR  
Controller in the G-LINK port. This disables the retail Demo feature and  
allows normal Host device operation.  
Remote Control  
In addition to the HD DVR, the remote control can be programmed to  
operate other IR controlled accessory devices.  
Remote Control Operating Range  
Point the remote control at the remote sensor and press the buttons.  
Distance: About 23 ft (7 m) from the front of the remote sensor.  
Angle: About 30° in each direction of the front of the remote sensor.  
Remote Control Battery Installation  
Detach the battery cover on the rear of the remote control, and insert two  
batteries (size AA) with  
and  
aligned correctly.  
Caution  
Do not mix old and new batteries. Never mix different types of batteries  
(standard, alkaline, etc.).

Smart Skip (+/-), Video Synopsis, Drag & Play  
The HD DVR provides intelligent video navigation & video summary. It uses  
video segmentation technology based on scene monitoring and scene  
change detection algorithm with an average accuracy of 95%.  
Smart Skip (+/-)  
Smart Skip is a trick play mode, providing intelligent scene selection in either  
skip replay or skip forward modes. Instead of searching with fixed time meth-  
ods, smart skip searches for active scene clusters then jumps to the first  
scene in the next available cluster of scenes. This is more meaningful to  
viewers than jumping to a more static scene (anchor person scene from a  
news broadcast, etc).  
During Playback/Timeshift, press SKIP+ at the starting point of the section  
you want to watch. Press SKIP– if you want to go backward.  
ote  
Pressing SKIP+ afterward pressing SKIP– does not guarantee coming back  
to the same scene.  
Video Synopsis  
Video Synopsis is a video summary based on video scene changes, which  
provides video searching by highlight: meaningful scenes are played for 1~ 4  
seconds in every indexed group of scenes (touchdown scene in football,  
etc).

the section you want the unit to create a synopsis for.  
The HD DVR will go into SYNOPSIS mode.

starts at the position when 1 / 2 is released.  
During Playback/Timeshift, press 1/ 2and release at the starting point  
of the section you want to watch.
