Sony SVR-2000 Setup Manual page 31

Notes
• Since you use both a satellite and cable
set-top box to receive your television
signal, the SVR Recorder needs to be
able to change channels on both of your
set-top boxes in order to record shows
and display live TV.
• If your satellite set-top box doesn't
include a Serial In jack, then place the
other end of the IR Control cable with
the second IR Emitter on top of your
satellite receiver, in front and as close
as possible to the IR window.
Use this example if you have both a satellite set-top box and a cable set-top box.
1 Connect the SVR Recorder to your satellite box and your cable
box.
Serial Connection - If your satellite set-top box has a Serial In jack, connect the
SVR Recorder to it using the Serial Control cable (supplied). If your satellite set-
top box has two jacks that look like Serial Control jacks, use the one labeled "low
speed data." You may need to use the 9 to 25 pin Serial adapter (supplied) to
match your box.
IR Connection - Plug the IR Control cable into the Cntrl Out IR jack on the back
of the SVR Recorder. Next, locate the IR receiver on your cable box – it's usually
a small dark red window or button on the front of the box. Place the IR Emitter
(from the IR Control cable) in front of the IR receiver, sticking out slightly. The IR
Emitter has an adhesive strip so you can adhere it to the box. If it is not possible to
stick the IR Emitter directly in front of the window, place it as close to the window
as possible.
2 Connect your program source/video input to the SVR Recorder.
a) Disconnect any satellite or cable connections to your VCR and/or TV.
b) Connect the satellite box to the input of the SVR Recorder using the S-Video
cable (preferred) and the left (white) and right (red) Audio/Video cables. If you
don't have an S-Video output, use the Yellow Audio/Video cable instead.
c) Connect your cable set-top box to the RF In jack on the back of the SVR
Recorder using the RF Coaxial cable (supplied).
