How to Program Your TiVo Remote to Work With Your TV
- 1). Press the TiVo button on the remote, and then press "Messages and Settings." Then push "Settings," followed by "Remote Control." You will see the three programmable aspects of your remote, "TV, Power, Volume and Mute," "AV Volume and Mute," and "TV Input."
- 2). Push the arrow key on the right of the remote's direction pad to choose "TV, Power, Volume and Mute." This will give you a selection of television-maker brand names.
- 3). Select your TV brand and hold down the "TV, Power, Volume and Mute" button. Hold for approximately five seconds until the red light comes on. Enter the code on screen when it prompts you. If the brand of your TV is not listed, visit the TiVo website (tivo.com), click on "Setup and Support," and find the code that matches your brand.
- 4). After entering the code, push the program button to make sure it operates properly. If it does not, try all available codes until it does.
- 5). Press the "Live TV" option to change channels on TV set. You will also be able to change the volume and continue to record programs, now that you have created a "universal" remote. TiVo also comes with a manual that will give detailed directions and answer any questions about its remote control.
