Safety Instructions  
6. An appliance and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick  
stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and  
cart combination to overturn.  
BEFORE YOU BEGIN  
Make sure all your equipment is turned off and the DVR is unplugged.  
The TiVo DVR is not designed to support a heavy load, such as a TV. Your  
DVR is only capable of supporting the weight of one or two common A/V  
components such as VCRs, DVD players, or A/V receivers (provided they  
have four good, broad, padded feet that distribute of the weight near the  
corners of the DVR).  
7. Tilt/Stability—All televisions must comply with recommended  
international global safety standards for tilt and stability properties of their  
cabinet design. Do not compromise these design standards by applying  
excessive pull force to the front, or top, of the cabinet, which could  
ultimately overturn the product. Also, do not endanger yourself, or children,  
by placing electronic equipment/toys on top of the cabinet. Such items  
could unexpectedly fall from the top of the set and cause product damage  
and/or personal injury.  
Also, avoid stacking your DVR on top of other electronic components—  
such as DVD players, A/V receivers—or the vents of your TV.  
SAFETY INFORMATION  
This product was designed and manufactured to meet strict quality and  
safety standards. There are, however, some installation and operation  
precautions of which you should be particularly aware. Please read these  
instructions before operating the equipment and save them for future  
reference.  
8. Ventilation—The appliance should be situated so that its location or  
position does not interfere with its proper ventilation. For example, the  
appliance should not be situated on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface that  
may block the ventilation openings; or, placed in a built-in installation, such  
as a bookcase or cabinet that may impede the flow of air through the  
ventilation openings.  
1. Read Instructions—All the safety and operating instructions should be  
read and understood before the appliance is operated.  
9. Heat—The appliance should be situated away from heat sources such as  
radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other appliances (including amplifiers)  
that produce heat.  
2. Retain Instructions—The safety and operating instructions should be  
retained for future reference.  
10. Power Cord Protection—Power supply cords should be routed so that  
they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or  
against them, paying particular attention to cords and plugs, convenience  
receptacles, and the point where they exit from the appliance.  
3. Heed Warnings—All warnings on the appliance and in the operating  
instructions should be followed.  
4. Follow Instructions—All operating and use instructions should be  
followed.  
11. Object and Liquid Entry—Never push objects of any kind into this  
product through cabinet slots, as they may touch dangerous voltage points  
5. Water and Moisture—The appliance should not be used near water - for

Connecting your DVR to a Phone Line or to the Internet  
The TiVo® DVR needs to connect to the TiVo® service to complete  
Guided Setup. After Guided Setup, the DVR connects to the TiVo  
service about every other day or so (more frequently if it connects  
via broadband Internet). When it connects to the TiVo service, the  
DVR may receive:  
Internet. Connecting your DVR to a home network with a shared  
broadband Internet connection gives you access to a whole new set  
of features. In addition to making brief connections to the TiVo  
service, a DVR connected to a home network can:  
Access digital music and photos stored on your home computer.  
Updated program information, including episode titles, plot  
descriptions, ratings, and schedule information.  
Transfer recordings between DVRs and PCs within your home  
network.  
Any available updates to the DVR service, including content for  
Showcases. (See page 9 for more information about Showcases.)  
Access third-party software applications designed for your TiVo  
DVR.  
Any recording requests you made using TiVo Central Online.  
For more information about the benefits of connecting your TiVo  
DVR to a home network see page 10, or view the TiVo Home  
Media Features Guide at www.tivo.com/guides.  
Choosing how your DVR connects to the TiVo service  
Built-In Ethernet Jack. This TiVo DVR is equipped with an Ethernet  
jack (see the Start Here poster, or the “Back Panel Reference” on  
page 134). Use an Ethernet cable (sold separately) to connect your  
DVR to a wired (Ethernet) home network.  
Your TiVo DVR can connect to the TiVo service using:  
A standard analog phone line (with the provided phone cord).  
A broadband Internet connection (as part of an existing home  
network; USB network adapter sold separately).  
USB Network Adapters. If you have a wireless home network, you’ll  
need to purchase a compatible USB wireless network adapter.  
Connect it to one of the DVR’s USB ports. (See the Start Here  
poster for details.) Visit www.tivo.com/adapters for the latest list of  
compatible adapters.  
Phone Line. If you don’t have a home network with a broadband  
Internet connection, the DVR must use a standard analog phone line  
to connect to the TiVo service. You should leave the phone cord  
plugged in continuously in order to keep your DVR’s program  
information up to date.

B
The DVR uses one of these cables to tell your satellite box when to change the channel.  
The IR cable’s emitters beam channel change signals to the IR sensor on your satellite  
box–just like a remote control does.  
Use the Serial Cable if:  
your satellite box has a 9-pin Serial (Data) jack.  
Use the IR Cable if:  
you tried the Serial cable and it didnt work with your  
satellite box.  
Place the emitters in front of the cable box’s IR sensor (one on top of the satellite box  
and one on bottom). Be sure both emitters stick out about 1 ½ inches directly in front  
of the IR sensor. Use the adhesive strips provided to keep them in place.  
Plug the Serial cable into the 9-pin Serial (Data) jack  
on the back of your satellite box.  
If youre not using the Serial cable, plug  
the purple end of the IR cable into the  
CHANNEL CHANGING/IR jack (the lower  
control jack) on the back of the DVR.

Connecting a VCR, DVD Recorder, or Other Equipment  
You probably have other A/V equipment in your home  
entertainment center in addition to your TiVo® DVR and your TV.  
If you have a VCR or DVD recorder, connect it to your DVR and  
save your favorite recordings to video tape or DVD.  
If you use Coaxial RF cables as pictured below, make sure the  
Channel 3/4 switches on the back of each device are set to the  
TiVo®  
DVR  
Other equipment, such as DVD players or game consoles, do not  
connect directly to your DVR. Instead, these devices should be  
connected to additional inputs on your TV or an A/V receiver.

Connecting Other A/V Equipment  
You may have other devices in your home entertainment system  
which don’t necessarily connect to your TiVo DVR. These tips can  
help you complete your home entertainment setup, but be sure to  
consult your other devices’ owner’s manuals for setup information.  
Connecting an A/V Receiver. An A/V receiver “receives” audio and  
video signals from your electronic devices, and lets you send those  
signals to other devices (usually, video to a TV and audio to a set of  
loud speakers). You can add an A/V receiver to any of the setups  
described here and on the Start Here poster.  
Instead of connecting audio and video from the DVR to your TV as  
shown in the setup diagrams, connect audio and video from your  
DVR to an available input on your A/V receiver. If your A/V  
receiver is already connected to your TV, your setup is done.  
Connecting other A/V equipment. Other kinds of A/V equipment,  
such as a DVD player or game console, do not connect to your TiVo  
DVR. You should connect your other devices to additional inputs on  
your TV or A/V receiver.
