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.
