How to connect the HD-PVR:
1. Connect the HDMI OUT of the HD-PVR to the HDMI IN of your HDMI
display.
2. Connect the HDMI, Component, Composite or S-Video input, on the Gefen
HD-PVR to the output of the source device you wish to record from.
3. Plug the 5V power supply into the HD-PVR.
4. Turn on the display (TV).
5. Turn on the HD-PVR by pressing the POWER button on the supplied remote
control.
The fi rst time you turn on the power, you will be asked to set the Date and Time
on the unit (see page 9 for instructions on how to do this). Once the Date and
Time have been set, the HOME menu should be displayed.
If you are not receiving a picture on your display:
• Check that the power supply is plugged in and connected to the Gefen HD-
PVR.
• Check that the unit is turned on. If there are lights on the front panel, then
the HD-PVR is receiving power.
• If your display has more than one HDMI IN, make sure that your display is
set up to receive signals from that input.
When the HOME menu is displayed, you can press the HOME button on the
remote control, again, to view the input source.
If the HD-PVR is unable to fi nd a source signal, you will receive the message:
“No Signal”. If this is the case, check the following:
• Make sure that you select the correct input source on the remote control.
• Verify the connection from the input source to the HD-PVR is correct.
• Verify that your display can handle the input resolution. For example, some
displays do not support 480i. Try varying the resolution on the input source.
• The HD-PVR will not accept 1080p signals. The highest resolution
supported by the HD-PVR is 1080i.
