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 HUMAX DVD Recorder, 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.
7. Once you complete this process, each remote will control only the Recorder to which it
is assigned.
Remote Address
By default, all TiVo DVRs and
remote controls (inluding your
HUMAX DVD Recorder) 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 Recorder 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.
