Questions About the TiVo Remote Control
My TiVo DVR remote control doesn’t control my TV’s
power, volume, etc.
• You can program the DVR’s remote control to turn your TV on
and off, and control its input selection, volume and mute
functions. You can also program it to control volume and mute
on an A/V receiver or stereo. See page 52 for details.
My TiVo remote control doesn't work with my DVR.
• Be sure you are using the DVR’s remote, and that you hold it so
that the TiVo button points toward the DVR.
• Try changing the position of the DVR SWITCH on the remote
control.
• 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. See the inside front cover
of this guide for instructions on installing batteries.
• If the red light on the remote does flash, watch the lights on the
front of the DVR. Do the lights seem to respond (i.e., blink or
flash) when you press any button on the remote? If 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.
• You may not have the correct input selected on your TV. Use the
Input, Source, or TV/Video button on your TV’s remote to
change the input.
