Connecting Your Equipment 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. Continuing Your Connection Steps 33
