avSystem

Overview
All AV Components are mounted in the rack and everything is controlled by remotes.
 
The first remote you'll use is the Sony AV System remote.
To use: Press:
Tivo Video1
DVDs LD
CDs CD
VCR Video2
To turn the system off, point it at the rack and press the SYSTEM OFF button- this shuts everything down!
Tivo operation
The tivo is used for viewing live TV (via the satellite) and for viewing previously recorded shows.
After selecting Video1 with the AV System remote-
For live TV- press the GUIDE button, then use the arrow buttons to navigate around and press SELECT to watch something.
For recorded stuff- press the LIST button, then use the arrow buttons to navigate around to whatever you want to watch; then press SELECT
Notes-
do not use the power buttons on the tivo controller; it stays powered on all the time.
if you attempt to record something and the tivo tells you it has a conflict with something else, please ask us before discarding our previous record request.
the tivo should have plenty of room on it- please don't delete anything
Fast Forward and Reverse have 3 speeds- 3x, 20x and 60x. The first time you push it, a 60 second commercial takes 20 seconds; the second time, it takes 3 second and the 3rd time it takes 1 second.
REPLAY does an 8 second rewind- terrific for seeing a football play again…!
you can PAUSE live tv and use all the fast forward controls (or replay stuff or whatever…)
the VOLUME button on the Tivo works for all audio and video sources.
DVDs
We have a bunch of DVDs in a DVD Jukebox. There's a one page guide to kid's DVD printed on a piece of paper that's either on top of the player or in the display case where the tapes are.
After selecting LD with the AV System remote-
Make sure it's started- after you press LD, you should see a "Sony DVD" splash screen; if not, press the ON/OFF button once and wait 10 seconds; repeat until a screen shows up.
Make sure the MODE switch is set to DVD EXPLORER (the middle position)
Press the DVD button to display a list of all available DVDs
Use the MOUSE to scroll thru the list
Press the center of the MOUSE to select a DVD
Follow the on-screen instructions to play the disk.
VCR
Select Video2 with the AV System remote to watch a tape.
Then use the Mitsubishi remote to drive the tape deck.
CDs
If you run the Windows Media Player on the laptop in the rack, you can listen to anything in our CD collection.
The "A" speakers are in the Family room; and
the "B" speakers are in the pool room.
