Connecting Your Equipment Connecting Your Equipment Connecting Your Equipment Note Your SVR Recorder is not designed for carrying heavy loads such as a TV. Structurally, the SVR Recorder is only capable of supporting the weight of one or two common consumer components such as VCRs, DVD players or A/V Receivers (provided they have four good, broad, padded feet for distribution of the weight near the corners of the SVR Recorder). The SVR Recorder is well-designed for stacking since ventilation enters at the front bottom edge of the SVR Recorder and exits at mid-rear. This helps the SVR Recorder "breathe in" cool air and "exhaust out" the warm air at the rear where it's least likely to harm the other components in your A/V stack. Connection Examples This section provides examples showing how to connect the SVR Recorder to your existing antenna, cable, satellite, or audio-visual system. Choose the example closest to your configuration and follow the steps in that section. Example 1: Antenna or cable, with a VCR, and splitting the signal (see page 16) Example 2: Antenna or cable, with a VCR (see page 18) Example 3: Antenna or cable, without a VCR (see page 20) Example 4: Satellite set-top box with serial connection, and a VCR, using S-Video cables (see page 22) Example 5: Satellite set-top box with IR input, and a VCR, using S-Video cables (see page 24) Example 6: Satellite or cable box with IR input, and a VCR, using RF cables (see page 26) Example 7: Satellite and antenna or cable, with a VCR (see page 28) Example 8: Satellite and cable with boxes, with a VCR (see page 30) If you have trouble or if your configuration isn't covered by one of these examples, see "Back Panel Connections Reference" on page 35. If you have a more advanced system (perhaps including a stereo game system, laser disc player, or switch box), see "General Hints" on page 39. Connection Examples 15
