How to Use Security DVR to Record TV
- 1). Connect the yellow, white and red plugs on one end of the composite cables to the matching color-coded AV IN jacks on the back of the security DVR. If the DVR is equipped only with a yellow video IN jack and a single white audio IN jack, the component can record in mono only and the red plug can be left unconnected.
- 2). Connect the plugs on the other end of the cables to the AV OUT jacks on the TV.
- 3). Turn on the DVR, TV and source component, such as a cable or satellite receiver box.
- 4). Tune the receiver box to the desired channel.
- 5). Press the "Record" button on the DVR front panel or remote control to record the selected channel.
