MAKING SENSE OF A 500-CHANNEL WORLD TAKES POWERFUL INTELLIGENCE.

Imagine coming home from work and turning on your television. Instead of surfing through all those channels, looking in vain for something you might like, imagine accessing a menu of your favorite TV shows already recorded for your convenience! That’s the magic of the Sony SVR-2000 Digital Network Recorder with TiVoTM Service. It’s the foolproof way to manage and enjoy the hundreds of channels in today’s TV landscape. Now you can enjoy the very best that television has to offer, every single time you turn it on!

NOW THERE’S ALWAYS SOMETHING GOOD ON TELEVISION
Sony’s first home VCR sparked a revolution ­ giving ordinary viewers their first measure of control over the TV schedule. People could record shows for later viewing or even watch one show while they recorded another. Now Sony unleashes the next generation. The Sony SVR-2000 Digital Network Recorder with TiVoTM Service uses tapeless digital recording to personalize your TV schedule.

• TiVo’s Suggestions. The SVR-2000 is constantly thinking, seriously, of ways to make the TV experience simpler, more convenient and above all more enjoyable. You can rate your favorite TV shows with up to three Thumbs UpTM and tag your least favorite shows with up to three Thumbs DownTM. The SVR-2000 then uses your ratings to automatically find and record shows similar to your favorites! These shows appear on the Now Playing list, your personal menu of recorded programs.
• Season PassTM service. Tell TiVo once and it will automatically find and record every episode of your favorite show, every time it airs ­ even if the television network lineup changes! You’ll never need to surf through channels, looking for something to watch. Just go straight to your favorites.
• Wish List. Select your favorite actors, directors and keywords and the SVR-2000 can display every upcoming show that matches your choices. Want to record them all? Just touch a button and it’s done!
• Now Playing List. Just press the LIST button to see an easy on-screen menu of your recorded shows. You simply move down the menu to the show that you want to watch and press a button. Bingo! Instant access.

The SVR-2000 automatically stores up to 30 minutes of the TV shows you’ve been watching ­ a feature that leads to a host of useful options.

• Pause live television. Never again miss out because of a phone call. Simply press Pause and the SVR-2000 continues recording. When you return, you can pick up where you left off at the touch of a button.
• Instant replays. They’re perfect for sports or lines of dialog that you missed. The SVR-2000 enables you to pause, rewind, enjoy frame-byframe slow motion and create your own instant replays.
• “Catch up” to live TV. After your instant replay, use the Advance button to return to the live broadcast.

RECORD UP TO 30 HOURS WITHOUT VIDEOTAPE

• Digital quality. You’ll see high-quality MPEG-2 digital video. You’ll hear spectacular digital audio.
• Selectable quality. The SVR-2000 lets you choose the recording quality to suit your programming needs. Choose Basic (recommended for cartoons and news), Medium (for sitcoms and soaps), High (for dramas and movies) and Best Quality (for sports and action).
• Instant access. With hard disk recording, you’ll never need to fast-forward or rewind to your show, the way you do with videotape. All your recorded shows are available in an instant! And you can use the Advance button to jump instantly to the end of a recorded show.
• High-speed search. The SVR-2000 offers forward and reverse search at 3x, 18x and 60x speeds. (At 60x, you can zip through an entire hour of programming in just one minute.)
• Record one show while you play back another. The SVR-2000 can simultaneously record and play! For example, during the recording process, you can start watching the show you’re recording from the beginning. Or watch any other program already recorded on the SVR-2000.
