Sony SVR-2000 TiVo Viewer"s Guide (primary manual) - Page 68

The recording quality choices available are Best, High, Medium, and Basic. The default is Best. Basic quality takes up about one-third the space of Best quality, so it gives you about three times the amount of space for programs. You may wish to experiment with different levels and then reset your default. One hour of Best Quality equals about: 3 hours of Basic Quality 2 hours of Medium Quality 1.5 hours of High Quality 1 hour of Best Quality Suggested use: News Daytime Talk Shows, Animation Dramas, Films Sports, Action Movies The recorder automatically uses Best Quality when displaying live TV. However, when it records a program, the recorder uses the Video Recording Quality you specified for that program. If that quality is not Best, you may notice the difference when recording starts. TiVo's Suggestions You can turn off automatic recording of TiVo's Suggestions. When automatic recording is on (the default), TiVo's Suggestions may be recorded onto free space. Programs you have recorded or scheduled to record will never be deleted to make room for Suggestions. Also, if space is needed to save programs you have scheduled to record, Suggestions are the first things to be deleted. (For more information on TiVo's Suggestions, see page 44.) RF Video If you used an RF coaxial cable as the input to your recorder, you may see static on some channels. You can use options on the RF Video screen to smooth the video, which will decrease the static and cause the picture to lose some sharpness. This option affects all the channels that are carried to your recorder on an RF cable. TiVo Central Messages & Setup Recorder & Phone Setup My Preferences 5 61
