airflow to the unit could impair performance or damage your DVR and other components.

• Do not stack electronic components or other objects on top of th e DVR. Also, do not stack the DVR on top of a “hot component” such as an audio power amplifier.

• Protect your components from power surges by connecting all the components before plugging any power cords into the wall outlet. Use of a surge protector is also recommended.

• Don’t overload power outlets or extension cords, which can result in the risk of fire or shock. It’s also important to use only the type of power source indicated on the marking label or in this manual.

• Avoid audio hum or interference by inserting all cable plugs firmly into their jacks. Also, place Audio/Video (A/V) cables to the sides of the TV back panel rather than down the middle once connected. Try not to coil any twin-lead cables and keep them away from A/V cables as much as possible.

• Never insert objects of any kind into any openings in the DVR (other than the DIRECTV

Access Card as detailed in this

manual).

• Place it on a flat, hard surface — do not operate the DVR on a carpet or other padded surface.

• Always unplug your DVR before moving it.

• Always unplug the DVR, TV and other equipment before you connect or disconnect any cables.

• The only way to disconnect the DVR from the power supply is to remove the power cord. The DVR must therefore be installed next to the power point which must be easily accessible.

• CAUTION: Electric Shock — never attempt to disassemble the DVR yourself; always take it to a qualified service person when repair is required. Opening or

removing covers may expose

dangerous voltage or other risks, and incorrect reassembly can cause shock when the DVR is subsequently used. Attempted selfrepair may also void your warranty. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance (by the warranty or by the manufacturer) could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

• Do not drop your DVR and always move it with care.

• Have your DVR professionally serviced (do not attempt to service it yourself).

• Any changes or modifications in construction of this device which are not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

• If you move your DVR between locations at different temperatures, allow it to reach room temperature before you apply power to it.

• Do not pick up or otherwise move your DVR while it is connected to the AC power supply. If you want to move your set-top box, first disconnect it, then wait at least 30 seconds before continuing

• To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26 AWG or better

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not

expose this product to rain or moisture. The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus.

CAUTION! To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove

cover (or back). No user-serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.

IMPORTANT: Be sure not to place your DVR near anything

WET or HOT! If this product is used at 240VAC, a suitable attachment plug should be used.

CAUTION! Avoid moisture to reduce the risk of fire or electric

shock. The DVR should not be used near water (for example, kitchen sink, bathtub, pool, damp basement). Also, never spill liquid on the DVR, and do not place vases or other vessels containing liquid on top of it.

TIP: We highly recommend plugging the DVR into a surge

protector to prevent damage from fluctuations in your power supply.

Welcome to TiVo on DIRECTV®!

Welcome to the TiVo HD DVR from DIRECTV. Now that you’re plugged in, it’s time to start enjoying your access to over 285 channels of TV programming that includes movies, sports, music, and special events, plus an extensive Pay Per View selection and, if you connect your DVR to the Internet, access to DIRECTV on Demand, where you can download from a library of thousands of shows via your home broadband service. This guide will take you step by step through everything you need to know to get the most out of the TiVo service on DIRECTV.

Note: DIRECTV on Demand service requires a receiver connected to the Internet, TiVo service and any other applicable monthly Advanced Receiver fees, DIRECTV CINEMA connection kit, broadband Internet service with a connection speed of 750 Kbps or higher (DSL or cable), a network router with an available Ethernet port, a land-based phone line connection, and an available wall outlet.

Getting started:

1. Using this guide. If you’re new to DVRs or just want to know the essentials, simply read the Quick Tours in Chapter 1. If you want more details, you’ll find them in the rest of this guide.

2. Getting connected. If a professional installed your DVR, you are ready to start watching TV. If your DVR was not professionally installed or you just added a surround sound system or other

equipment, please see “Installation and Connections” on page 75.

Remember:

• The TiVo HD DVR from DIRECTV requires a monthly TiVo Service Fee in addition to other applicable monthly Advanced Receiver service fees.

• For more information on pricing and programming, please visit

directv.com

• DIRECTV hardware and programming are available separately.

• The TiVO HD DVR from DIRECTV is not compatible with DIRECTV Whole-Home DVR service, TV Apps, Picture In Graphics, 3D Programming, YouTube, DIRECTV nomad™, GameSearch™, Spanish UI, DIRECTV2PC video streaming, and select other DIRECTV features. Please visit directv.com more information.

Basic terms

Before you start learning about all that your TiVo HD DVR from DIRECTV can do, here are some terms you should know:

Live TV. If you’re watching a show as it’s being broadcast, you’re watching live TV. You can pause live TV for up to 30 minutes. When you resume watching, you’re “behind” live TV.

vii

(You can always get to live TV by pressing the Live TV button on your remote).

Dual tuner. A tuner is a device found inside DVRs, TVs, satellite boxes — anything designed to receive TV signals, including the DVR. A tuner picks one channel to display; it “tunes” to that channel. Your DVR is a “dual tuner” device, meaning that it has two tuners inside and can record two shows at once. Pressing the Live TV button while watching live TV will swap between your two tuners, allowing you to watch what is on either tuner.

Service updates. From time to time, your DVR may receive updates, including features not described in this guide. For the latest how-to information, to find out what’s new, and to get great tips and tricks, visit directv.com
