Using This Guide

Getting Started

1. Connect your SD-H400 using the Installation Guide.
2. Complete Guided Setup following the steps provided in Chapter 1 of this guide.
When you've finished these two steps, you're ready to use the TiVo Basic service. Take
the tours in Chapter 2 of this guide to check out the basic features. Read Chapters 3, 4, and
5 to become more familiar with the service's capabilities or to answer specific questions.
Basic terms. The following are definitions of some basic terms used in this guide:
DVR. Your Toshiba Digital Media Server SD-H400 is both a TiVo Digital Video
Recorder (DVR) and a DVD player. For convenience, this guide uses the term DVR to
refer to the SD-H400.
Live TV. If you're watching a program as it's being broadcast, you're watching live
TV. With TiVo, you can also watch recorded programs or watch "behind" live TV (for
example: if you pause live TV, then come back later and watch from the paused spot).
Icons. These are graphic symbols used by the TiVo service to provide information
about options you can select. You'll find a glossary of icons on the inside back cover.
Program Information screen. When you select a program (either a future showing or
a recording in Now Playing) from a list, you will see this type of screen. With it, you
can select actions and view a description of the program.
Service Terms. This Viewer's Guide refers to both the TiVo Basic service and the TiVo
To
Plus service. For purposes of convenience only, the term "TiVo service" is sometimes
used to refer to information that applies to both TiVo Basic and TiVo Plus.
