By default, all DVRs and remote
controls have a Remote Address
®
of "0" (zero). A remote control with a
Remote Address of "0" will control any
DVR, even one with an assigned code. A
DVR 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 DVRs.

3. Assign side 1 on the DVR SWITCH to DVR #1. Point the remote control at DVR #1.
Use the number buttons on the remote control to enter a number "1." Press the RIGHT
arrow. On the screen, the "Remote Address" updates from "0" to "1."
Press the TiVo button and go to TiVo Central. Side 1 now controls DVR #1 only.
Continue to the next step and set up side 2 of the DVR SWITCH. If you don't, side 2
will still control both DVRs.
4. Prepare the DVRs again. Press the input, source, or TV/Video button you normally
use, until your TV displays DVR #2. Then remove the cover from the plastic window
of DVR #2 and cover the plastic window of DVR #1. Finally, go to the System
Information screen of DVR #2, and press DOWN arrow until you see "Remote
Address" displayed.
5. Assign side 2 on the DVR SWITCH to DVR #2. Move the DVR SWITCH to 2. Repeat
steps 2 and 3, above. Assign the number "2" to DVR #2, then press the TiVo button to
go to TiVo Central.
Now when you set the DVR SWITCH to 1, it will only control DVR #1—and when
you set it to 2, it will only control DVR #2.
Resetting the DVR SWITCH
1. Move the DVR SWITCH to 1.
2. Press and hold the PAUSE and TiVo buttons simultaneously for about three seconds,
until the red light at the end of the remote control comes on and remains steady.
3. Using the number buttons on the remote control, enter 0. The red light at the end of the
remote control will flash to indicate that the DVR SWITCH (either 1 or 2) is reset.
4. To complete the reset, move the DVR SWITCH to 2 and repeat steps 2 and 3.
