Programming The Remote Control - TiVo series 2 User Manual

Programming the Remote Control

After you complete Guided Setup (see Chapter 2), you can program the
TV POWER, VOL, and MUTE buttons to control your TV*:
1. Find the four-digit codes for your television brand. To see a list of these
codes, press the TiVo button to go to TiVo Central, then select Messages
& Setup, then Settings, then Remote Control & DVR Front Lights.
2. Prepare the remote control. Point the remote away from your TiVo Digital
Video Recorder (DVR) and cover the front end with your hand. Press and
hold the TV POWER button and TiVo button simultaneously for about 5
seconds (until the red light at the end of the remote control comes on,
remains steady, then stays on when you release the buttons).
3. Enter a code. Use the number buttons on the remote to enter a four-digit
code (starting with the first code in the list on the screen). After you
press the fourth digit of the code, the red light on the end of the remote
control should flash three times and then go out.
4. Test the code. Point the remote towards the TV and press the TV POWER
button. If pressing the button turns the TV off, you're finished. If it does
not work, repeat steps 2 and 3 using the next code in the list. If none of
the codes works, see Chapter 6 of this guide for alternatives.
*You can also program your TiVo remote to control your TV's input settings, an
A/V receiver, and a second DVR. See Chapter 6 for complete instructions.
Inserting Batteries into the Remote Control
Hold the remote with the battery door facing you. Place your thumb in
the depression of the door and slide the door towards you.
Insert two AA batteries (supplied). Be sure to match the + and - marks
on the batteries to the + and - marks in the compartment.
Replace the battery door by sliding it back into the case with the tabs
towards the rear of the compartment. You'll hear a click when it's
securely back in place.
