Sony SVR-2000 Setup Manual page 33

Notes
• If you have a VCR that has S-Video inputs
and outputs, and your TV also has an
S-Video input, it's preferable to have the
SVR Recorder send its signal to your VCR
and have your VCR send its signal to your
TV. You won't be able to connect the SVR
Recorder directly to your TV since the SVR
Recorder only has one S-Video Out jack.
• Even if you've connected through your
VCR, you may want to directly connect the
SVR Recorder to your VCR and TV. For
example, if your VCR doesn't have S-Video
jacks but your TV has an S-Video Input, you
probably will want to connect the SVR
Recorder directly to your TV to take
advantage of the better picture quality of
S-Video cables. Also, if your TV has
picture-in-picture capabilities, you could
watch a videotape on your VCR while you're
watching the SVR Recorder.
• If your TV has only one audio jack instead of
two, connect just the white audio cable, and
leave the red audio cable disconnected.
3b IR Output to VCR - Sony VCRs only.
If you own a Sony VCR, you can use the IR Control cable (supplied) to save
programs to a videotape in the VCR using the "Save to my VCR function".
(Once connected, refer to your TiVo Viewer's Guide for instructions on how to
save programs to your VCR.)
• Plug the IR Control cable into the Cntrl Out IR jack on the back of the SVR
Recorder. If you are using a cable or satellite set-top box, you may have
already done this.
• Place one IR Emitter (from the IR Control cable) in front of the IR window on
the Sony VCR. You can adhere the IR Emitter using its adhesive bottom.
3c Video Output directly to TV.
• If you already did step 3a, this step is optional.
• Look at the back of your TV and the SVR Recorder and see what types of
jacks are available. Connect the SVR Recorder output to your TV input using
the best possible connection from the following options:
• S-Video cable, along with the Left/Right (white and red) Audio cable
(best)
• Composite Video (yellow) and Left/Right Audio cable (white and red)
(better)
• RF Output, using the black RF Coaxial cable (good)
3b
• If you are connecting using RF Coaxial cable, you need to select between
output on channel 3 or 4 using the small switch next to the RF Out jack on the
back of the SVR Recorder. To get the best picture, select the channel that is
not occupied by a local broadcast channel. For example, if there is a local
broadcast station on channel 4, select channel 3. You will need to tune your
VCR to this channel to receive the SVR Recorder.
