Managing Multiple Recorders and Remotes Managing Multiple Recorders and Remotes If you have more than one Recorder in your home, or if you have another model of TiVo DVR in addition to your Pioneer DVD Recorder with TiVo, you can match a particular Recorder with a particular remote so that each Recorder will only respond to its own remote. You can do this by setting the Remote Address. 1. If both Recorders are in the same room, start by covering the IR sensor window on one Recorder using a cloth or thick piece of paper. This will prevent setting the Remote Address on both Recorders simultaneously. The IR sensor is located in this area. 2. Go to the System Information screen. First, press the TiVo button, then highlight and select Messages & Setup, then System Information. On the System Information screen, scroll down until you see Remote Address. 3. Hold down the PAUSE and TiVo buttons simultaneously for about five seconds (until the red light at the end of the remote control lights up and stays on when you release the buttons). 4. Use the number keys to enter any digit from 1 to 9. Press the number you have chosen several times until you see the Remote Address change on the screen. 5. Press the TiVo button to go to TiVo Central. 6. Repeat these steps using your second Recorder and remote control. Be sure to choose a different number (in Step 4) for the remote address of the second Recorder. Once you complete this process, each remote will control only the Recorder to which it is assigned. The default Remote Address is "0" ® (zero). A remote control set to Remote Address "0" will control any Recorder, and a Recorder with a Remote Address of "0" will respond to any remote, including some Pioneer A/V Receiver remote controls. When you program the remote with a new Remote Address, it will control any Recorder with that Remote Address, or with an address of "0". To ensure that your Recorder only responds to the Recorder's remote, set the Remote Address to any value other than "0" (zero). 4 Remote Address 37

Managing Multiple Recorders and Remotes
If you have more than one Recorder in your home, or if you have another model of TiVo
DVR in addition to your Pioneer DVD Recorder with TiVo, you can match a particular
Recorder with a particular remote so that each Recorder will only respond to its own
remote. You can do this by setting the Remote Address.
1.
If both Recorders are in the same room, start
by covering the IR sensor window on one
Recorder using a cloth or thick piece of paper.
This will prevent setting the Remote Address
on both Recorders simultaneously.
2.
Go to the System Information screen. First, press the TiVo button, then highlight and
select Messages & Setup, then System Information. On the System Information
screen, scroll down until you see Remote Address.
3.
Hold down the PAUSE and TiVo buttons simultaneously for about five seconds (until
the red light at the end of the remote control lights up and stays on when you release
the buttons).
4.
Use the number keys to enter any digit from 1 to 9. Press the number you have chosen
several times until you see the Remote Address change on the screen.
5.
Press the TiVo button to go to TiVo Central.
6.
Repeat these steps using your second Recorder and remote control. Be sure to choose a
different number (in Step 4) for the remote address of the second Recorder.
Once you complete this process, each remote will control only the Recorder to which it is
assigned.
The default Remote Address is “0”
(zero). A remote control set to
Remote Address “0” will control any
Recorder, and a Recorder with a Remote
Address of “0” will respond to any
remote, including some Pioneer A/V
Receiver remote controls. When you
program the remote with a new Remote
Address, it will control any Recorder with
that Remote Address, or with an address
of “0”. To ensure that your Recorder only
responds to the Recorder’s remote, set
the Remote Address to any value other
than “0” (zero).
