Using Your TiVo® Remote Control
Your TiVo remote control can be used for much more than meets the eye, from setting your recordings and managing your TiVo services, to streaming and down-
loading videos from the web. This guide shows how to program your remote, and oers some tips and shortcuts on using it while watching live TV or recordings,
nding shows using the TiVo program guide, and navigating the TiVo menus.
Customize your TiVo remote control
Some buttons on your TiVo remote control are programmable:
1 TV POWER
2 INPUT
4 VOLUME
5 MUTE (use VOLUME and MUTE to control sound on your TV or A/V receiver).
Programming your remote control
1. Press the TiVo button to go to the TiVo Central® screen and select ‘Messages & Settings’ > ‘Set-
tings’ > ‘Remote, CableCARD, & Devices’ >‘Remote Control’ > ‘Remote Control Setup.’
2. Follow the instructions on the “Remote Control Setup” screen. You have options to control
power, volume, and mute on your TV; volume and mute on your A/V receiver (stereo system);
and input selection on your TV.
Be sure to press and hold the buttons indicated on the screen for about ve seconds—until
the ACTIVITY LIGHT on the remote lights up and stays on.
3. Try entering the rst code listed on the screen. The ACTIVITY LIGHT on the remote ashes
to indicate it received the code. Test the button you are trying to program. If it doesn’t work,
repeat the steps using the next code.
NOTE: Due to the wide variety of brands and models available, some TVs and A/V receivers are not
compatible with the TiVo remote control.
Resetting the programmable buttons
You can reset all the programmable buttons (TV PWR, INPUT , VOLUME and MUTE) at once. All
the buttons will return to their default settings. To reset the buttons:
1. Point the remote control away from your DVR.
2. Press and hold the TV PWR and TiVo buttons simultaneously until the ACTIVITY LIGHT on
the remote lights, and remains lit when you release the buttons.
3. Press 6 THUMBS DOWN™ three times, then press 7 ENTER.
“Learning” remote
Your TiVo remote control is a “learning” remote. This means that it can read and store certain func-
tions from other remotes. If you were unable to nd a code that works using the programming
procedure, try this method:
1. Press the TiVo button and 3 SELECT buttons simultaneously, and hold them for three to ve
seconds, until the ACTIVITY LIGHT remains lit. The remote is now in “learning mode.”
2. On the TiVo remote, press and release the button you want it to learn from the TV or A/V
receiver remote (for example, TV PWR). The ACTIVITY LIGHT will ash once to acknowledge
the button press, then remain lit.
3. Point the remotes directly at each other, no more than four inches apart.
4. Press the corresponding button on the TV or A/V receiver remote (for example, Power).
5. If learning is successful, the ACTIVITY LIGHT will ash four times. If it is not successful, it will
blink 10 times very quickly.
6. Repeat steps 2-4 for any additional buttons.
NOTE: In learning mode, VOL UP and VOL DOWN are separate buttons.
7. When done, press the TiVo button to exit learning mode and return to normal operation.
