By default, all TiVo DVRs and
remote controls (inluding your
®
Digital Media Server) have a Remote
Address of "0" (zero). A remote control
with a Remote Address of "0" will control
any TiVo DVR, even one with an assigned
code. A DVR or DMS set to "0" will
respond to any remote control, even one
with an assigned code. This prevents you
from becoming accidentally "locked out"
of controlling your TiVo DVRs.

Setting the Remote Address
If you have more than one Digital Media Server in your home, or if you have another
model of TiVo DVR in addition to your Digital Media Server, you can match a particular
DMS with a particular remote so that each DMS will only respond to its own remote. You
can do this by setting the Remote Address.
1. If both Digital Media Servers are in the same room, start by covering the IR sensor
window on one DMS using a cloth or thick piece of paper. This will prevent setting the
Remote Address on both Digital Media Servers 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 DMS and remote control. Be sure to choose a
different number (in Step 4) for the remote address of the second DMS.
Once you complete this process, each remote will control only the DMS to which it is
assigned.
