Some buttons on your TiVo remote
are programmable:

TV POWER

TV INPUT

VOLUME & MUTE (can control sound

on your TV or A/V receiver)

DVR SWITCH (useful if you have more
than one TiVo DVR)

The TiVo HD XL DVR remote control also
has the ability to “learn” functions from
other remotes. See page 57 for more.

To program your TiVo remote, press the
TiVo button to go to the TiVo Central

®

screen and select Messages & Settings,
then Settings, then Remote, CableCARD, &
Devices, then Remote Control. Follow the
easy on-screen instructions.

Due to the wide variety of brands and
models available, some TVs and A/V
receivers are not compatible with the TiVo
remote. See Chapter 4 of this guide for
more on programming the TiVo remote
control.

Remote Control Tips

Program your TiVo® remote to control your TV or A/V receiver. See

Customize Your TiVo Remote to the left.

Press the TiVo button once to go to the TiVo Central

®

screen, or twice to go to

the Now Playing List—your list of recorded programs.

Press LIVE TV to switch between tuners. See page 3 for more about watching

live TV with dual tuner.

Press ASPECT once to display the current mode. Press again to change

the Aspect Correction mode to Full, Panel, or Zoom. Use this feature to
quickly adjust the picture to your liking. See page 60 for details.

Press FORWARD and BACK up to 3 times for 3 speeds. Press a

fourth time to resume normal play.

INSTANT REPLAY

®

replays the last 8 seconds of a program.

Press CLEAR to delete a title in a list (like the Now Playing list) or to hide

things that aren’t part of the program you’re watching (like the TiVo
channel banner).

Press GUIDE to see the TiVo program guide, then press INFO (while the guide

is visible) for Guide Options that let you change the way channels display or
show only certain types of programs.

When you’re viewing the TiVo program guide, press FORWARD or

BACK to move the displayed time incrementally. Press ADVANCE

®

to jump 24 hours ahead. Press INSTANT REPLAY

®

to go back

24 hours.

CHAN UP/DOWN does more than change the channel—it also pages up or

down through lists of programs or menu items.

When you’re watching “behind” live TV (for example, if you pause live TV and

later resume watching from the paused spot), ADVANCE

catches you
up to the live broadcast. In a recorded program, press it once to jump to the
end of the program, then again to jump to the beginning. Also, use
ADVANCE to enter a dash for channel numbers that contain a dash.

If programmed, the DVR Switch lets you control two different TiVo

®

Digital

Video Recorders (DVRs) with the same remote.

Inserting the Batteries

1. Open the battery door:
For the TiVo HD remote, hold the remote with the battery door
facing you. Slide the door toward you to open.

For the TiVo HD XL remote, push the battery door where it
comes to a point, near the center of the back of the remote, to
open.

2. Insert the batteries (supplied). Match the + and - marks on the

batteries to the + and - marks in the compartment.

3. Replace the battery door.

Remote Control Troubleshooting

Press any button on the remote. Does the red light above the TiVo button
on the remote flash?

If the red light does not flash, make sure the batteries are positioned
correctly in the remote. If they are correctly positioned, try a new set
of batteries.

If the red light on the remote does flash, but the lights on the front of
the DVR do not respond to the remote, restart your DVR by
unplugging it, waiting 15 seconds, then plugging it back in.

See the Troubleshooting chapter for more help with your remote control.
