The Basics in 5 Short Tours
Tour Four: Playing a DVD or CD
You must complete Guided Setup before you can play CDs, and play or record DVDs. For
instructions, see “Completing Guided Setup” on page 3.
Playing a DVD or CD in the Recorder does not interfere with recording TV. However,
you cannot watch a recording or live TV while playing a DVD or CD.
Playing a Disc
To put a disc into the Recorder, press the OPEN/CLOSE ( ) button on the front panel of
your Recorder to open the disc tray. Put in the disc with the label side facing up, using the
disc tray guide to align it, then press OPEN/CLOSE again to close the disc tray. (For a full
list of the different kinds of discs that are compatible with the Recorder, see page 32.)
DVD Menu. After you have inserted a disc, TiVo Central changes to show that the
Recorder is holding a disc. Highlight the DVD item on TiVo Central and press play to
start the disc from the beginning. However, the DVD menu usually gives you more
playback options.
To go to the DVD menu, press the DVD button on the Recorder’s remote control. Pressing
the DVD button from most screens, from live TV, or while you are playing a DVD, goes
directly to the DVD menu.
From the DVD menu, select Play to start the currently loaded disc. Go ahead and try it. (If
you have a DVD disc in the tray and see a menu after you select Play, choose the option
you want to view to start the video playing.)
