How to Hook Up an XBox to a Motorola DVR

Many televisions have a limited number of input ports to accommodate other devices. Because of this, a situation may arise where you have more devices to connect to your television than there are ports available. In the event that you have connected a Motorola Digital Video Recorder (DVR) to your television, but cannot connect your Xbox (or Xbox 360) because there aren't any ports, you can simply connect your game console to the DVR itself.

Things You'll Need

Xbox component cables
Xbox 360 component cables (if you have an Xbox 360)

Instructions

- 1
  Connect the Xbox end of your Xbox component cable to the port on the back of your Xbox console.
- 2
  Connect the component cable ends of the Xbox component cable to the audio and video component input ports on the back of your Motorola DVR.
- 3
  Connect your Xbox's power cord to a wall socket. Turn your Xbox, television and DVR on.
- 4
  Press the "Video" or "input" button on your DVR remote to switch you DVR to input mode. You should now be able to see the Xbox signal, sent from your Xbox and through your DVR, on your TV
