Humax 525p manual Managing Multiple Recorders and Remotes, Remote Address

C h a p t e r 6 M e s s a g e s & S e t u p

By default, all TiVo DVRs and

® remote controls (inluding your

HUMAX DVD Recorder) have a Remote Address of “0” (zero). A remote control with a Remote Address of “0” will control any TiVo DVR, even one with an assigned code. A DVR or Recorder set to “0” will respond to any remote control, even one with an assigned code. This prevents you from becoming accidentally “locked out” of controlling your TiVo DVRs.

Managing Multiple Recorders and Remotes

If you have more than one Recorder in your home, or if you have another model of TiVo DVR in addition to your HUMAX DVD Recorder, you can match a particular Recorder with a particular remote so that each Recorder will only respond to its own remote. You can do this by setting the Remote Address.

1.If both Recorders are in the same room, start by covering the IR sensor window on one Recorder using a cloth or thick piece of paper. This will prevent setting the Remote Address on both Recorders simultaneously.

2.Go to the System Information screen. First, press the TiVo button, then highlight and select Messages & Setup, then System Information. On the System Information screen, scroll down until you see Remote Address.

3.Hold down the PAUSE and TiVo buttons simultaneously for about five seconds (until the red light at the end of the remote control lights up and stays on when you release the buttons).

4.Use the number keys to enter any digit from 1 to 9. Press the number you have chosen several times until you see the Remote Address change on the screen.

5.Press the TiVo button to go to TiVo Central.

6.Repeat these steps using your second Recorder and remote control. Be sure to choose a different number (in Step 4) for the remote address of the second Recorder.

7.Once you complete this process, each remote will control only the Recorder to which it is assigned.
