Connect a telephone line
It is not necessary to install a separate phone line. Plug the recorder into any existing phone jack. If the
phone jack is used for another phone, use the provided splitter. Do not connect the SVR Recorder to
digital PBX systems (these allow many phones to share a single telephone number and are typically
found in hotels and office buildings). You could permanently damage the SVR Recorder’s modem.
Don’t have a phone close by? No problem! The SVR Recorder ships with a
25' phone cord, and does not
need to be connected all the time. Simply run the phone cord across the room to any phone jack within
reach. After Guided Setup completes, you can unplug the phone line and store it with the SVR Recorder.
You only need to connect to the phone line once or twice a week. Plug in the line, then go to Messages
& Setup, then Recorder & Phone Setup, then Phone Connection, and choose Make Daily Call Now.
Power on and tune your TV
Once you have connected all the cables, plug in the SVR Recorder and turn on your TV.
Find the correct TV input
Much like when you watch tapes on your VCR, you’ll need to tune your TV to the correct channel or video
source so it displays the Welcome screen. If you are using RF cables, tune to channel
3 or 4. If you are
using composite or S-video, use the TV/Video or Input button on your TV. If you are passing the signal
through your VCR, tune your TV the way you would to watch your VCR. Also try turning your VCR on or off.
If your VCR has multiple inputs, you may need to select an input on the VCR as well.
For more examples and details,
see the Installation Guide.
