Use this example if you have an antenna or cable without a set-top box, you have a
VCR, and you want to split your signal to watch one program while you record another.
You’ll need to purchase an RF signal splitter or switch box and at least two extra RF cables
at your local electronics store.
1 Connect the program source cable to the SVR Recorder using
the splitter.
The program source cable is the cable that your cable company installed, or the
one that’s connected to your antenna.
If your TV or VCR can accept multiple inputs, use an RF signal splitter. Once
connected, you can switch between watching your SVR Recorder and watching
your VCR or TV by changing the “Input” or “Source” on your TV using the
appropriate button on your TV’s remote.
Attach your existing program source cable to the Input section of the RF splitter.
Then connect the splitter to the RF In jack on the back of the SVR Recorder using
an RF Coaxial cable.
2 Connect the other splitter output to your TV.
Use another RF Coaxial cable to connect the other output of the splitter directly to
your TV.
Once connected, you can switch between watching TiVo and watching TV in
bypass mode using your TV’s “Input”, “Source”, or “TV/Video” button (on either
your TV or the TV’s remote).
3 Continue.
Now continue with step 3 on page 32.
Notes
• Make sure that all of your TV equipment
is turned off, including unplugging your
SVR Recorder.
• If your TV has only one audio jack instead
of two, connect just the white audio
cable, and leave the red audio cable
disconnected.
