General Hints - Sony 158SVR2000 Setup Manual

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
takmg that output and pluggmg It mto the SVR Recorder's mputjacks.
• 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 AN 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 usmg a sWItch box or an
AN
receIver that has mput jacks for
your devIces, along wIth an output to your TV and speakers. Then, that AN receIver
or sWItch box will let you choose what to display on your TV
• If you're havmg trouble, see Troubleshootmg on pages 55-60. Also, try the Support
sectIOn on the TiVo webSIte (http://www.tIvo.com/).
