For additional setups, check the Installation
Guide.
ᕡ Connect program source to DVR

the wall (from your antenna or cable) to the
jack labeled RF In on the DVR.
ᕢ Connect DVR to TV
Connect the Composite A/V cables from the
DVR’s audio/video output to the TV’s
audio/video input.
[Alternate: If your TV doesn’t have
Composite A/V connectors, connect the RF
Coaxial cable from the RF Out connector on
the DVR to the Antenna In connector on the
TV. Set the 3/4 switch on the back of the
DVR, and tune your TV to the same channel.]
ᕣ Connect phone line to DVR
To connect your phone and the DVR to the
same phone jack, use the provided phone
splitter.
ᕤ Plug in DVR power cord

Source, or TV/Video button on your TV to
select the correct audio/video source. Press
the button until the Welcome screen is
displayed.
[Alternate: If you used RF Coaxial cable in
Step 2, tune your TV to the same channel

This setup shows Composite A/V cables . If your TV
doesn’t have Composite A/V connectors, use an RF Coaxial
cable instead. If your TV has an S-Video connector, you might
prefer to use an S-Video cable (not supplied) for your video
connection. See the Installation Guide for details.
Remember to connect the OUT connector
of one device to the IN connector of the next.
After you complete Guided Setup, you’ll be able to connect
your DVR to a home network and use a shared broadband
Internet connection instead of a phone line to make connections
to the TiVo service. See the
TiVo Viewer’s Guide for details.
