disrupted if the Recorder attempts to call the TiVo service. If you have a standard dial tone, and ‘Phone Avail.’ Detection is off, turn on Dial Tone Detection (below).

If you are experiencing “Failed, Line unavailable” errors, or if the Recorder is not making daily calls, you may have a low-voltage phone system that the Recorder cannot detect. In this case, it’s best to have ‘Phone Avail.’ Detection off.

Set Dial Tone Detection. This setting is on by default. If you leave it on, the Recorder will check for a dial tone before it starts dialing. However, if you have a non-standard dial tone, or a stuttering dial tone (as some voice messaging systems have), the Recorder will be unable to detect the dial tone and will not make its call.

Restore previous options. The Recorder must make a successful test phone call before it will accept changes to Phone Dialing Options. If you want to restore your previous dialing options and continue past this screen without making a test phone call, select “Restore previous options.”
