Using the External DVR Expansion Feature

To use the external DVR expansion feature of the DCX3501-M, first ensure that your

service provider has authorized your DCX3501-M for external DVR functionality. If

authorized, follow these steps to begin using the external DVR feature:

1. Power on your DCX3501-M and your television and ensure that you have a picture.

2. Connect a compatible eSATA hard disk drive to the DCX3501-M using the eSATA

cable supplied with your external drive enclosure. The DCX3501-M will automatically

detect that a hard disk drive has been connected to the eSATA interface.

3. The DCX3501-M will display an alert that an external hard disk drive has been

connected and that it must be formatted. Use the remote control to confirm the

format (formatting a drive will erase any and all content that on the drive).

4. The DCX3501-M displays a message when formatting is complete and if the

operation succeeded or failed.

During formatting of the external hard disk drive, the DCX3501-M will perform

several tests to determine if the hard drive’s performance is acceptable for DVR

functionality. If the hard drive is unable to pass these performance tests, the

DCX3501-M will alert you that the external drive is not compatible for DVR use.

5. The DCX3501-M will confirm that an external drive is connected and available for

use.

While using the external DVR expansion feature of your DCX3501-M:

• Recordings made on the external hard disk drive can only be played back on the

same DCX3501-M used to record the programs. You cannot connect your external

hard disk drive to another DCX3501-M (or another cable box with an eSATA

interface) and watch programs that have been recorded on the hard drive.

• You can use multiple external hard disk drives with the same DCX3501-M, however;

you can only watch the recordings that are available on the drive connected to the

DCX3501-M at that time. To watch recordings that you made on another external

drive, simply disconnect the external drive, follow the on-screen prompts, reconnect

the other external drive, and again follow the on-screen prompts.

• Whenever the DCX3501-M reboots, a temporary loss of the program listings in the

interactive program guide (IPG) is possible.
