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.
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.
