Troubleshooting
I can’t save programs to a DVD disc I purchased.
The DMS will only save to DVD-R and DVD-RW discs. It will not save to other disc formats (such as DVD+R or DVD+RW) . For
more information, see “Compatibility and Copy Protected Material” on page 48.
Questions About Channels
Can I watch one channel while recording from another?
Yes. If you have cable with no cable box or an antenna, you can split the signal with an RF splitter. See “Watching One Channel &
Recording Another” on page 18. (You will not have TiVo functionality on the channels you watch using an RF cable that goes
directly to your TV.) You can always watch any program from the Now Playing list while the DMS is recording a program.
I can’t get the channel to change.
If you use cable with no cable box:
Be sure that you are using the TiVo remote and that you hold it so the TiVo button points toward the DMS.
Press any button on the remote. Does the red light above the TiVo button flash? If not, make sure the batteries are positioned
correctly in the remote. If they are, try a new set of batteries. If the red light on the remote does flash, do the lights on the front of the
DMS seem to respond when you press any button on the remote? If they do not, restart your DMS by unplugging it, waiting 15
seconds, then plugging it back in.
If you have a cable or satellite box and used the IR Control cable:
Make sure the cable or satellite box is turned on.
Make sure you are using the DMS’s remote control, and that you hold it so the TiVo button points toward the DMS, not at the cable
or satellite box.
Refer to page 6 to verify that the IR Control cable is positioned correctly in front of the IR sensor. Also, make sure the purple end of
the cable is plugged into the
Control Out-IR
jack on the back of the DMS.
