Connecting Your Equipment General Hints • Study the "Back Panel Connections Reference" section on page 35 to learn what jacks are available on your SVR Recorder. • Make sure the SVR Recorder receives its signal from your TV source. Work out where your TV signal comes from (satellite, cable or antenna). If you have to go through a switch box or set-top box or stereo, test the output cable on your TV before taking that output and plugging it into the SVR Recorder's input jacks. • Decide where the SVR Recorder should send its signal. You'll need to get the signal to your TV eventually, but you could choose to have the video signal go through a VCR or to a switch box or A/V receiver before it reaches the TV. If you want the SVR Recorder to be able to save shows to a VCR, you'll also need to have the SVR Recorder's output go to a VCR. • You may have a lot of sources of video. In addition to the SVR Recorder and a VCR, you may have a video game player, a laser disc player, a DVD player, and a video camera. If so, consider using a switch box or an A/V receiver that has input jacks for your devices, along with an output to your TV and speakers. Then, that A/V receiver or switch box will let you choose what to display on your TV. • If you're having trouble, see Troubleshooting on pages 55-60.
