Sony SVR-2000 Setup Manual page 23

Note
A serial connection works better than IR, so
use serial when possible.
Use this example if you have a satellite set-top box with a serial connection, and your
satellite set-top box uses S-video cables.
1 Connect the SVR Recorder to your satellite set-top box.
Connect one end of the Serial Control cable (supplied) to the Cntrl Out Serial In
jack on the back of the SVR Recorder.
Your satellite set-top box may have two jacks that look like Serial Control jacks. If
so, use the one labeled "low speed data." You may need to use the 9 to 25 pin
serial adapter (supplied) to match your jacks, or the RCA Home Control cable (for
some RCA boxes).
2 Connect your program source/video input to the SVR Recorder.
Disconnect any cables that you have connecting your satellite set-top box to your
VCR and/or TV. Use the S-Video cable (supplied) to connect the S-Video Out of
your satellite set-top box to the S-Video input on the back of the SVR Recorder.
You must also use the left (white) and right (red) Audio/Video cables to connect
the Audio Out on your satellite set-top box to Audio In on the back of the SVR
Recorder, as illustrated here.
