your recordings over the Internet with friends and family who are using ReplayTV.
Feature Updates from the ReplayTV Service
New features are occasionally delivered through the Ethernet and telephone connections (whichever you use). When this occurs

A service activation fee is required to begin using your new ReplayTV 5000 Series Digital Video Recorder ("ReplayTV").You can
choose from two payment options: a one-time fee or monthly payments. Only the ReptayTV unit containing the serial number that
you register is paid for and activated through this process. Other ReptayTV units will require separate activation fee payments.
There is a grace period after your initial connection to the ReplayTV Service, during which time you can use ReplayTV without
having to activate the service. If you do not complete the service activation process and pay the service activation fee, your
ReplayTV will cease to operate until the service is activated and the fee is paid. Please activate your service before the grace period
expires.
An activation key for your ReplayTV will be displayed during the on-screen setup process. To activate the service and pay the acti-
vation fee, have the activation key ready and go to our Web site at www.sonicblue.com/replaytv or call 1-800-480-7149.

Chapter 2 Connections
". Basic Connections
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 Quiek 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 ReplayTVi Your setup will depend on the components (Cable box, satellite
receiver, VCR, home network, etc.) you use. During setup, you may be called upon to identify one or more of the following cables:
Coaxial cable (included) delivers the signals broadcast by your cable TV company, or local slations. You can
also use lhis supplied cable to connect ReplayTV directly to your television.
S-Video cable (not included) delivers high quality video signals between ReplayTV and your lclevision or
monitor. Older-model TVs may not support S-Video. Because S-Video cable only provides the video signal, it
must be used in combination wilh both of the audio plugs (red and while) on an A/V cable.
Component Video cables (not included) connect from the Progressive Out (Y, Pb, Pr)jacks on ReplayTV to
deliver high quality video signals to your television or monitor. Older-model TVs may not have a Progressive
input. Because component video cables only provide the video signal, lhey must be used in combination with
both of the audio plugs (red and while) on an A/V cable.
A/V cable (included) delivers audio and video signals between ReplayTV and your lelevision or monitor. The
red and white plugs deliver stereo audio. The yellow plug delivers video.

cables tbr communication. "the RJ-11 to 9-pin adapter connects to INs cable, if it is used.
IR blaster cable (included) lets ReplayTV change the channels on your cable box or satellite receiver if it does
not support the serial cable. The IR blaster emitters need to be affixed directly over the IR delector on your sal-
ellite receiver or cable box. See "Connecting lhe IR Blaster" on page 10.
9-pin to 15-pin adapter (included) connects your satellile receiver to ReplayTV if the satellile receiver uses a
15-pin serial cable. _
RJ-11 to 9-pin adapter (included) connects your satellite receiver to ReplayTV iflhe satellite receiver uses a
telephone cable in place of a serial cable. RCA models DRD221RD, DRD222RD, DRD223RD, and DS2122RD
all require use of this adapler.
[]
Ethernet cable (not included) connects to lhe ETHERNET jack on ReplayTV, allowing you to connect
ReplayTV to a broadband network. If you have a home network, you should leave ReplayTV connected to it at m
all times, because ReplayTV will use it to receive Channel Guide lislings.
Telephone cable (included) connects from the TEL LINE jack on ReplayTV to a wall jack. Leave the cane
connected to ReplayTV al all times to receive lhe daily Channel Guide lislings. []

:: Planning your Setup
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 sign
nal(s) connect directly to the ReplayTV inputs. The outputs from ReplayTV connect to a television, monitor, or A/V receiver. You
can also connect a VCR to ReplayTV and save shows you have recorded to videotape. See "Saving Recordings to Videotape" on
page 48 for more information. ReplayTV is not intended to record signals sent by DVD players and video game systems. Connect
DVD players and video game systems directly to your television, not to ReptayTV.
Checking your Satellite Receiver
ReplayTV receives broadcast signals from satellite receivers through S-Video or A/V cables. ReplayTV can send channel-changing
signals to your satellite receiver through the supplied serial cable or IR blaster. It is recommended that you connect your ReplayTV
to your satellite receiver using a serial cable. Use the 1R blaster if your satellite receiver does not have a serial port.
If the remote control for your satellite receiver has a "UHF" label, or if your satellite receiver uses a small antenna, your satellite
receiver is radio controlled. ReplayTV does not support radio-controlled receivers. Check your receiver's owner's manual to see if
serial or infrared controls are supported.
Connecting ReplayTV to an A/V
Receiver
1 Connect the incoming television signal to ReplayTV. Refer to the
Quick Setup Guide for detailed instructions.
2 Connect an A/V cable from the OUTPUT jacks on ReplayTV to the
AUDIO/VIDEO 1N jacks on your A/V receiver, matching like col-
ors. Use an S-Video cable if your receiver has S_Video In.
3 Refer to the Quick Setup Guide to complete the remaining connec-
tions.

Connecting ReplayTV to a VCR
Connect ReptayTV to a VCR if you want to watch or save your record-
ings on videotape. Deleting recordings from the Replay Guide will pre-
serve hard drive space.
Connect an A/V cable from the OUTPUT jacks on ReplayTV to the
AUDIO/VIDEO 1N 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 ReptayTV using
the Manual Record feature. See "Using Manual Record" on
page 40.
Connecting Cable Box and Satellite Receiver Controllers
If you connect a cable box or satellite receiver to ReplayTV, you will need to attach a controller cable so ReplayTV can change the
channels on either of these components. The controller, either a serial cable or an IR blaster cable, will act as a remote control for
these components.
Connecting the Serial Cable
If your satellite receiver or cable box supports serial cable, use the provided serial cable as a controlling cable. Connect the serial
cable to the SERIAL connector on ReplayTV and to the serial port on your cable box or satellite receiver. If your receiver uses a 15-
pin serial connector, use the supplied 15-pin to 9-pin adapter. If you have a satellite receiver that uses telephone cable in place of
serial cable, you wilt need to use the RJ-11 to 9-pin adapter to connect the satellite receiver to ReplayTV. RCA models DRD221RD,
DRD222RD, DRD223RD, and DS2122RD wilt all require this adapter.
Connecting the IR Blaster
Use the IR blaster if your satellite receiver or cable box does not support serial cable.
Locate the infrared detector on your cable box or satellite receiver
The infrared emitter at the end of the 1R blaster must be placed directly over the infrared detector on
your cable box or satellite receiver. The infrared detector receives the signals from the ReplayTV
remote control.
Infrared Emitters
10
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."
3 Shine a flashlight through the dark plastic area on the front of the unit. If you see the infrared
detector, skip to "Connect and affix the 1R blaster."
4 Using the remote control for your cable box or satellite receiver, turn the power on and off.
Do not use the ReplayTV remote control.
5 With the remote control in one hand, place the other hand over one section of the front of the
unit.

Try to turn the power on and off. If you succeed, your hand is not covering the infrared detec-

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. The setup process requires you to indicate the following:
If you are using a broadband or modem connection
Your Zip code so ReptayTV will receive the correct channels for your area
The components connected and the cables used to complete the connections
The setup code for your cable box or satellite receiver, if used, so ReplayTV can change the channels on these components
:: Home Network Connections
If you have a home network, you can connect ReplayTV to it using the ETHERNET connection. This connection will allow you to
send recordings to other ReplayTV 4000/4500' and 5000 users, watch shows recorded on another ReplayTV in your home, and
transfer photos from your PC to ReplayTV. The following sections provide instructions for setting up ReptayTV to use the network-
ing features. Refer to "Advanced Features" on page 49 to learn how to use the features.
ReplayTV needs its own 1P address to communicate with other devices on your network. It wilt automatically search for an IP
address during the first-time Quick Setup process, lfan IP address is not automatically found, you will have to enter it manually.
_d _ * S_ftware su_rt f_r vide_ sharing and streaming between ReplayTV 5_ m_dels and ReplayTV 4_/45_
models will be available in the future. Please check "www.sonieblue. com/replaytv "for update information.
lf you conneet ReplayTV direetly to the phonejaek in your home, the photo, send show, and in-home networking
,features are not available.
Connecting ReplayTV to an Existing Network
1 If you are connecting ReplayTV to a broadband network, plug an Ethernet cable into the ETHERNETjack on ReplayTV and to
an available Ethemet jack on your network (on a wall, hub, switch, or router).
2 Turn ReplayTV on. It will automatically request an IP address from the network. You will see the Quick Setup screen.
If ReplayTV does not find a DHCP server, it will present you with a screen to manually configure the network connection.
You will need to enter the 1P address, Subnet Mask, Gateway address and DNS Server address. It is recommended that you
use the DNS entries provided by your ISP and not the 1P address of your router. See "Entering Networking Information
Manually on ReplayTV" on page 17 if necessary.
3 After a successful test, you wilt be asked to enter your ZIP code and continue with setup.
4 If you have firewall software installed or a router with a built-in firewatl, you should verify the router is configured properly.
See "Configuring Ports for Sending Recordings" on page 16.
12
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 lnternet Service Provider (ISP). Also, your 1SP may require that you log on or
use special software on your PC in order to access the lnternet. Consult your ISP for requirements. Refer to the following connec-
tion examples for details.
Connecting to a router
1Use a recommended router that your 1SP supports and
connect it directl to your cable modem. (See "Recom-
mended Routers'_on page 15.) If you have a single-port
router, you wilt also need a hub or a switch to connect
more than one device" to the router. Verify that, the routerrm
is configuredproperly for ReplayTV. See Configu " g
Ports for Sending Recordings" on page 16.
2 Turn on your router. Refer to the router's user guide to
set up the router. The default configuration of the router
is normally sufficient. By default, most routers have
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) enabled
for automatically assigning IP addresses.
3 You can connect ReplayTV directly to the router, or to a
hub or switch that is connected to the router. Refer to
"Connecting ReplayTV to an Existing Network" on
page 12 to complete the setup.

Connecting to a hub or switch (no router)
If you are connecting ReplayTV directly to a hub or switch that is connected to your
cable modem, you wilt need an 1P address from your 1SP for ReplayTV. Before setting
up ReplayTV, you should verify with your ISP that a device like ReplayTV is sup-
ported. You may need to specify the IP address on ReplayTV.
1 Verify that there is no special software or log on required for lnternet access.
2 Verify that no settings other than the IP address, Subnet Mask, Gateway address, and
DNS Server address are required. (For example, some broadband connections require
that a DNS suffix be entered on your PC for lnternet access to work.)
3 Check to see if your 1SP requires the MAC address of devices like ReplayTV for Inter-
net connectivity. (Some ISPs require the MAC address of a network device in order to
automatically assign it an 1P address. See "Determining the ReplayTV MAC (Media
Access Control) Address" on page 18.)
4 Refer to "Connecting ReplayTV to an Existing Network" on page 12 to complete the
setup.

Connecting directly to a cable modem
If you are connecting ReplayTV directly to a cable modem, you need to have an addi-
tional 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 spec-
ify the lP address on ReplayTV.
Cable Modem
1 Verify that there is no special software or log on required for lnternet access.
2 Verify that no settings other than the IP address, Subnet Mask, Gateway address, and DNS Server address are required. (For
example, some broadband connections require that a DNS suffix be entered on your PC for Internet access to work.)
3 Check to see if your 1SP requires the MAC address of devices like ReplayTV for Internet connectivity. (Some 1SPs require the
MAC address of network devices in order to automatically assign it an lP address. See "Determining the ReptayTV MAC
(Media Access Control) Address" on page 18.)
4 Refer to "Connecting ReplayTV to an Existing Network" on page 12 to complete the setup.
14
Connecting ReplayTV to a DSL Modem
Connecting ReptayTV 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 1SP or DSL modem provider. If it is a router,
it can automatically assign an IP address to ReplayTV. If you have PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethemet) DSL (you
have to log on through software before you can access the Intemet), you cannot connect ReptayTV directly to your DSL
modem unless it is also a router. PPPoE accounts require that the user log on with a usemame and password. Software is nor-
mally provided for your computer to do this. If you purchase a router to use with your PPPoE account, verify that it supports
PPPoE.
Router Setup
The default settings for routers are normally sufficient for ReplayTV to connect to the ReplayTV Service for the daily Channel
Guide listings and occasional software updates. Follow the instructions below if you are experiencing connection issues or if you
intend to share your recordings with other ReptayTVs.

If you are not manually specifying the IP address on ReplayTV, verify that DHCP is enabled on your router. You should specify
the IP address of ReplayTV if you are sharing recordings. Some routers will allow you to automatically assign the same IP
address to devices like ReplayTV. It is recommended that you enable this feature for ReplayTV, if it is available to you.
Verify that DNS is enabled on your router and the proper DNS entries have been added. These would have been provided by
your ISP. If the IP address of the router is specified (this is the external IP address), double-check the DNS entries from your
ISP.
Verify that the router does not block ReptayTV's 1P address. This setting can normally be found in the advanced section under
"access" controls. Some routers have a table listing which 1P addresses are allowed to use the router for Internet access.
Verify that TCP ports 53 (DNS), 123 (NTP), 80 (HTTP) are open. Your router documentation should indicate whether or not
those ports are blocked by default.

i>¢a
5When you first go to the ReplayTV lnternet 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 1P address of
ReplayTV. If you have multiple ReplayTVs, each must use a different port to share recordings.
Configuring Ports for Sending Recordings
Sending recording to other ReplayTVs requires a port to be forwarded through your router (or firewall) for incoming network con-
nections. You can normally specify the incoming port number, port type, destination IP address, and port status when configuring a
port. The following are example configuration settings. Refer to your router documentation for more complete instructions.
Incoming Port Number: This can be any port that is not in use by another application. It is recommended that you choose a
high port number like 29000.
Port Type: your choices are normally Both, TCP, and UDR Choose TCR
Destination 1P address: Enter the IP address that the port should be associated with or mapped to. This will be the 1P address
of ReplayTV. It is recommended that you specify the IP address of ReplayTV for sending recordings.
Port Status: Enable or Disable. Choose Enable.
In the Advanced section of your router setup software, you may find either a Port Forwarding or Virtual Server section. On this
page, you wilt need to enter the port information described above.
Filters and Rules
Some routers allow you to create filters and define rules for opening ports and forwarding 1P information. Within these rules
and filters, you would enter the same information as you would on a Port Forwarding or Virtual Server page.
Depending on your router, it might be necessary to add the IP address of ReplayTV to the DMZ host page. This will place
ReplayTV outside of the firewatl. This may be necessary if the router is not properly routing the information it receives to
ReplayTV. Check your router manual for more details on when using DMZ is appropriate.
16
Using ReplayTV with Firewall Software
Sending recording to other ReplayTVs requires a port to be forwarded through your router (or firewall) for incoming network con-
nections. If you have a firewatl on your computer or network, it needs to be configured properly or ReplayTV wilt 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
firewalt software, refer to the documentation that shipped with the software.
1 Verify that TCP ports 53 (DNS), 123 (NTP), 80 (HTTP) are open. Your firewatl documentation should indicate whether or not
those ports are blocked by default.
2 Verify that the IP address that ReptayTV uses is not blocked.
3 If you are sharing recordings with other ReplayTVs, you will need to open a port to receive shows. When you first go to the
ReplayTV lnternet Address Book, you are asked to open a port number on your router. This is the port that needs to be open
on your firewatl software. It is recommended that you use a high port number like 29000.
Entering Networking Information Manually on ReplayTV
1 Press Menu on the remote control and choose Setup.
2 Choose Network and Input Settings from the Setup menu.
3 Choose Change Network.
4 Choose Change from Automated to Manual and enter the information.
Determining the ReplayTV IP Address
The IP address you specify on ReplayTV must be in the same range as the 1P addresses of other computers or devices on the same
network, but not identical. For example, if the 1P address of your computer is 192.168.0.1 with a Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0,
then the ReptayTV 1P address may be 192.168.0.x, where x can be any number from 2 to 254. No other device on your network can
use the same 1P address as ReptayTV.
What you base the ReplayTV information on depends on the configuration of your network.
If ReptayTV is connected to a router, then you need to collect the network information from the router or a PC connected to the
router. It does not matter if there is a hub between ReplayTV and the router.
If ReplayTV is connected to a Cable Modem or DSL Modem, then the network information you need is provided by your ISR
You will need to purchase a separate IP address for ReplayTV.
If ReplayTV is connected directly to your PC or through a hub, then you need the network information from the network card.

Determining the ReplayTV MAC (Media Access Control) Address
Every Ethemet 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 (ReptayTV's 1P address)" and press Enter.
3 Type "Arp -a" and press Enter.
You will see a list of hardware addresses and associated 1P addresses. Look for the hardware address associated with
ReplayTV's IP address.
Finding the Router IP Address
Your router will have both a WAN (External) and LAN (Internal) IP address. If you are specifying the 1P address on ReptayTV, the
information you will use to set up ReptayTV wilt come from the LAN settings.
Check the documentation that shipped with your router. It normally has the default IP settings.
If supported, use Netscape or Internet Explorer to took at the configuration settings on your router. For most routers, all you
need to do is enter the IP address of the router into your Web browser.
Use the included software that shipped with your router to check its IP settings.
If you have a PC connected to the router, you can use IPCONF1G or W1N1PCFG on your PC to get the IP information you will
need. See "Finding your Computer's Network Information" on page 19 for further details.
18
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 1P address on
ReplayTV. You can use the network information from your computer to determine what the 1P address should be. Following are
steps to find this information for common computer systems.
Windows 9x or Millennium

Resolving Conflicting Recordings

recording.
When recordings conflict, a Record Conflict screen will indicate tilat a conSict has been detected be_,een a currently scheduled
recording _ld tile new recording you are se_ting up. I±'you choose to record tile new recording, the previously scheduled record-
ing(s) will be cancelled based on the following rules:
New single recording/Scheduled single recording: In tilis case, the scheduled recording will be cancelled, removing it fi:om
tile Replay Guide.
New single recording/Scheduled eepeatlng recording: In this case, only one instance o±'the repeating recording will be can-

Replay Channels
Ever)' show you record becomes a Replay channel and is stored in a category you choose. Show-based and single-record channels
store recordings o±'speci±% shows. Zone- and Theme-based channels store recordings based on common Zone or keyword themes.
Understanding tile difference batween Show-based recordings and Zone or Theme-based recordings is the key to making sure your
ReplayTV records what you want to see most.
Guaranteed and Non-guaranteed Recordings
Think of recording space on ReplayTV like parking spaces. Guaranteed recordings are given reserved parking spaces as soon as
tiley are scheduled. Non-guaranteed recordings do not get reserved spaces and have to t_nd a place to park. Non-guaranteed record-
ings park in reserved spots, but they will be promptly towed i±'a guaranteed recording needs to park. After all, tile non-guaranteed
recording was parking in tile guaranteed recording's spot.
42
Recording Priorities
If you have created many Replay channels, iZis possible that eventually two scheduled recordings will contlict with each other.
The tbllowing recording priorities are nu_bared ffo_ highest priori_€ to lowest:
1 Guaranteed Single-record and Show-based recordings
Ira change ill television schedules pu_s guaranteed Show-based channels into arecording conflict with each other, the Replay
channel created first will be recorded.
2 Guaranteed Zone- and Theme-based recordings
If_,o or more Guaranteed Zone- or Theme-based recordings smr_ at the saree tir_e, the show airing on the lowest-nur_bered
Channel Guide channel will be recorded.
3All non-guaranteed recordings
If_,o or more non-guaranteed recordings overlap recording times, the show that smr_s first will be recorded.
If_,o or more non-guaranteed recordings star_ at tile saree time, Show-based recordings take priori_€ over Zone- and Theme-
based recordings.
4Non-guaranteed Single-record and Show-based recordings
If_,o or more non-guaranteed Show-based recordings star_ at the same time, tile show along on tile Replay channel created
t_rst will be recorded.
5 Non-guaranteed Zone- and Theme-based recordings
If _,o or more non-guaranteed Zone- or Theme-based recordings smr_ at tile same tir_e, tile show along on the lowest-nur_-
bered Channel Guide charmel will be recorded.
Show-based and Single-record Channels
G_aranteed Show-based channels record every time ashow is on at or near the time you speciSed, on tile channel yo_ specit_ed.
Recorded Show-based episodes will be recycled to make room for a new episode when tile channel is filll.
Single-record channels will not be recycled arltil you delete tilem.
Non-guaranteed Show-based channels behave exactly like guaranteed Show-based channels except:
1 Non-guaranteed Show-based channels will not record if recording space does not permit.
2 Non-guaranteed Show-based channels will be recycled if'a guaranteed recording needs space.
If you set a Show-based channel to record all episodes, tile oldest episode will be recycled to _ke room for a new episode when
tile charmel is filll,
43
Theme-based Channels
Guaranteed Theme-based channels are designed to hold a specific amounZ of programming (1/2 hour, 2 hours, etc.). Twenty-£our
hours afterbeing recorded, the oldest program will be recycled to make room for a new pvo_am when tile channel is fall.
Non-guaranteed Theme-based channels behave exactly like guaranteed Theme-based channels except:
1 Non-guaranteed Theme-based channels will not record i£recording space does not permit.
2 Non-guaranteed Theme-based channels will be recycled ifa guaranteed recording needs space.
Zone-based Channels
Guaranteed Zone-based channels are designed to hold a specific amoun_ o£programming (1/2 hoar, 2 hours, etc.). Twenty-four
hours afterbeing recorded, the oldest program will be recycled to make room for a new pvo_am when tile channel is fall.
Non-gua_,mteed Zone-based channels behave exactly like gua_,mteed Zone-based channels except:
1 Non-gua_,mteed Zone-based channels will not record i±'recording space does not permit.
2 Non-gua_,mteed Zone-based channels will be recycled i±"a guaranteed recording needs space.
Recording Tips
To get the most out of ReplayTV, follow these recording tips:
Guarantee shows you don't want to miss
If you absolutely do not wan_ to miss a show, make sure it is scheduled as a guaranteed Single-recoM or guaranteed Show-
based recording.
Record in High qaallty sparingly
Tile High quality setting provides tile highest quality picture, but uses tile most recording space, Recording in Medium quality
should be 'ivzlequate for most o±'your recording needs. The High quality setting is best used for sporting events, ±'ast-action mov-
ies, and otiler shows where picture quality is vital.
Delete shows aRcr you watch them
To increase tile likelihood o±'your non-guaranteed shows being recorded, delete shows from the Replay Guide after you watch
tilem. The more available space, the more shows ReplayTV can record.
44

DMZ Host Page - A host on a network that grcvants outside uscTs from a_assing data on your network, l)cp_ding on your router, it might be necessary to add
the ]P addrcas of ReplayTV to the DMZ host _c. "[his will place RcplayTV outside of the f'_cwall. 'this may be necassaE,, if the rout_ is not properly routing
the infon'nafion it rccalves to RcplayTV. Cheek your rout_ manual for more details on whan using I)MZ is apl_oprlato.
DNS 0)omain Name System) - AI)NS server translates domain names like ww,a5sunlcbl_.com into thc4r corresponding IF'addresses.
DSL Router - A I)SL router is simply a touter that also fimctlons as an cxtc_'n_ DSL modem. "[his I)SL rout_ weald fimcfion as a DIICP server.
Gateway -'the gat_'ay address is the ]P address of the computer or device on a local network that gives you access to the Interact. If you m'e using a rout_, it's

Switch - If you have a mix of ] 0 and ] 00Mbps davices or anmputcts on your network, up_adlng from a hub. to a swltoh can _cafly improve pc_tt'ormanan. Also.
it'you have many devices on your antwork, the switch will glve you better pcrfommnee than the hub.
