A

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Make sure all your equipment is turned off and the DVR is unplugged.

The TiVo DVR is not designed to support a heavy load, such as a TV. Your
DVR is only capable of supporting the weight of one or two common A/V
components such as VCRs, DVD players, or A/V receivers (provided they
have four good, broad, padded feet that distribute of the weight near the
corners of the DVR).

Also, avoid stacking your DVR on top of other electronic components—
such as DVD players, A/V receivers—or the vents of your TV.

SAFETY INFORMATION

This product was designed and manufactured to meet strict quality and
safety standards. There are, however, some installation and operation
precautions of which you should be particularly aware. Please read these
instructions before operating the equipment and save them for future
reference.

1. Read Instructions—All the safety and operating instructions should be
read and understood before the appliance is operated.

2. Retain Instructions—The safety and operating instructions should be
retained for future reference.

3. Heed Warnings—All warnings on the appliance and in the operating
instructions should be followed.

4. Follow Instructions—All operating and use instructions should be
followed.

5. Water and Moisture—The appliance should not be used near water - for
example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet
basement or near a swimming pool, etc.

6. An appliance and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick
stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and
cart combination to overturn.

7. Tilt/Stability—All televisions must comply with recommended
international global safety standards for tilt and stability properties of their
cabinet design. Do not compromise these design standards by applying
excessive pull force to the front, or top, of the cabinet, which could
ultimately overturn the product. Also, do not endanger yourself, or children,
by placing electronic equipment/toys on top of the cabinet. Such items
could unexpectedly fall from the top of the set and cause product damage
and/or personal injury.

8. Ventilation—The appliance should be situated so that its location or
position does not interfere with its proper ventilation. For example, the
appliance should not be situated on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface that
may block the ventilation openings; or, placed in a built-in installation, such
as a bookcase or cabinet that may impede the flow of air through the
ventilation openings.

9. Heat—The appliance should be situated away from heat sources such as
radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other appliances (including amplifiers)
that produce heat.

10. Power Cord Protection—Power supply cords should be routed so that
they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or
against them, paying particular attention to cords and plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the point where they exit from the appliance.

11. Object and Liquid Entry—Never push objects of any kind into this
product through cabinet slots, as they may touch dangerous voltage points
