Press the TiVo button once to go to the TiVo Central® screen, or twice to go to
the Now Playing List—your list of recorded programs.
Press LIVE TV to switch between tuners.
Press FORWARD
and BACK
up to 3 times for 3 speeds. Press a
fourth time to resume normal play.
INSTANT REPLAY
®
replays the last 8 seconds of a program.
Press CLEAR to delete a title in a list (like the Now Playing List) or to hide
things that aren’t part of the program you’re watching (like the TiVo
channel banner).
Press GUIDE to see the TiVo program guide, then press ENTER or INFO (while
the guide is visible) for Guide Options that let you change the way channels
display or show only certain types of programs.
When you’re viewing the TiVo program guide, press FORWARD
or
BACK
to move the displayed time incrementally. Press ADVANCE
® to jump 24 hours ahead. Press INSTANT REPLAY
® to go back

Inserting the Batteries
Remote Control Troubleshooting
1. Open the battery door:
Push the battery door where it comes to a point, near the center
of the back of the remote, to open.
Press any button on the remote. Does the red light above the TiVo button
on the remote flash?
2. Insert the batteries (supplied). Match the + and - marks on the
batteries to the + and - marks in the compartment.
3. Replace the battery door.
If the red light does not flash, make sure the batteries are positioned
correctly in the remote. If they are correctly positioned, try a new set
of batteries.
If the red light on the remote does flash, but the lights on the front of
the TiVo Premiere do not respond to the remote, restart your TiVo
Premiere by unplugging it, waiting 15 seconds, then plugging it back
in.
See the Troubleshooting chapter for more help with your remote control.
