Appendix: Additional Setup Examples
A
Connecting a VCR, DVD Recorder, or Other Equipment
You probably have other A/V equipment in your home
entertainment center in addition to your TiVo
If you have a VCR or DVD recorder, connect it to your DVR and
save your favorite recordings to video tape or DVD.
Other equipment, such as DVD players or game consoles, do not
connect directly to your DVR. Instead, these devices should be
connected to additional inputs on your TV or an A/V receiver.
Connecting a VCR or DVD Recorder
VCRs and DVD recorders tend to offer many different audio and
video input and output jacks, giving you a variety of setup options.
Refer to your VCR or DVD recorder's owner's manual for details
about setup and operation.
This example is the easiest way to connect a VCR or DVD recorder
to your DVR. (It works even if your TV only has one input.) For
best results, use the best connections available on your equipment.
Before you connect a VCR or DVD recorder, make all the basic
connections shown on the Start Here poster.
Connect a Coaxial cable from the Coax Out jack on the DVR to
the Antenna-RF In jack on the VCR or DVD recorder.
Connect another Coaxial cable from the RF Out jack on the VCR
or DVD recorder to the Antenna In jack on your TV.

To watch a video tape or DVD, change your TV's input setting by
pressing the Input, Source, or TV/Video button on your TV's
remote control until the correct input is displayed.
To save recordings from your DVR to a video tape or recordable
DVD, use the "Save to VCR" feature. See page 35.
If you use Coaxial cables as pictured below, make sure the
Channel 3/4 switches on the back of each device are set to the
same channel.
