Remote Control Tips

Program your TiVo® remote to control your TV or A/V receiver. See Customize Your TiVo Remote to the left, or Remote Control Settings in Chapter 5.

Press the TiVo button once to go to the TiVo Central® screen, or twice to go to the Now Playing List—your list of recorded programs.

Press LIVE TV to switch between tuners. See page 3 for more about watching live TV with dual tuner.

Press ASPECT once to display the current mode. Press again to change the Aspect Correction mode to Full, Panel, or Zoom. Use this feature to quickly adjust the picture to your liking. See page 56 for details.

Press FORWARD and BACK up to 3 times for 3 speeds. Press a fourth time to resume normal play.

INSTANT REPLAY ® replays the last 8 seconds of a program.

Press CLEAR to delete a title in a list (like the Now Playing list) or to hide things that aren’t part of the program you’re watching (like the TiVo channel banner).

Press GUIDE to see the TiVo program guide, then press INFO (while the guide is visible) to see Guide Options and change the way channels display, or show only a certain types of programs.

CHAN UP/DOWN does more than change the channel—it also pages up or down through lists of programs or menu items.

When you’re watching “behind” live TV (for example, if you pause live TV and

later resume watching from the paused spot), ADVANCE ® catches you up to the live broadcast. In a recorded program, press it once to jump to the end of the program, then again to jump to the beginning. Also, use

ADVANCE to enter a dash for channel numbers that contain a dash.

If programmed, the DVR Switch lets you control two different TiVo® Digital Video Recorders (DVRs) with the same remote. See Chapter 5.
