How to connect a digital-to-analog converter
box to your TiVo®Series2TM DVR
Use these instructions if:
·you get your TV programming through an antenna
·you have a TiVo Series2 DVR
As of February 2009, all over-the-air TV signals will change from analog to
digital. Your existing antenna will continue to receive the digital TV signals, but
you need a digital-to-analog converter box to translate the digital signal to the
analog format your TV can display.
These instructions will help you connect the converter box to your
TiVo Series2 DVR so you can continue enjoying your favorite TV programs.

Before you begin...
Please make sure you have the following before you begin
connecting your digital-to-analog converter box.
1. Locate your IR cable. You will need it to complete this setup.
It was included in the carton when you originally purchased
your TiVo DVR. If you cannot locate this cable,
please visit www.tivo.com/store to obtain one.
2. Verify your TiVo DVR’s software version.
Press the TiVo button on your TiVo remote to go to the TiVo Central®
screen. Select Messages & Settings, then Account & System
Information, then System Information.
Your software version must be 9.3.1 or higher.
If you don’t have software version 9.3.1 or higher, connect to the
TiVo service. From Messages & Settings, select Settings,
then Phone & Network, then Connect to the TiVo service.
Once the DVR receives software version 9.3.1, continue with the
next step.

Connect your antenna to
the converter box
Your antenna is probably already connected
to the Cable/Antenna RF IN jack on your
TiVo DVR.
Disconnect the antenna from your DVR and
connect it to the IN jack on the converter
box instead.
Also plug in the converter box’s power cord.

Complete the converter box setup screens
The converter box has some setup screens that you need to complete to ensure that it receives
the digital antenna signals available in your area.
Follow these steps:
1. Make sure the converter box and your TV are powered on.
2. Tune your TV until you see the converter box setup screen (usually on channel 3 or 4
if you used a Coaxial cable in step ).
3. Follow the on-screen instructions using the convert box remote control. This typically
involves scanning for the digital channels that your antenna can receive.
4. When setup is complete, go to the Settings menu on the converter box.
5. IMPORTANT: Find the Standby setting, and turn if “OFF.” This ensures that
the converter box will not automatically power off during a TiVo recording.
6. Find the list of channels in the converter box settings. Verify the listed channels
and uncheck any channels you do not receive.
7. Exit the converter box menu, and go on to the next step.

Connect the converter box
to your TiVo DVR
Take the Coaxial cable you used in step and
disconnect it from your TV. Instead, connect it to the
Cable/Antenna RF IN jack on your TiVo DVR.

Alternate: For better A/V quality, use a
red/white/yellow Composite A/V cable to connect
the converter box to your TiVo DVR instead of the
Coaxial cable. (Do not connect both.)

Connect the IR cable, and
position the IR emitters
The IR cable’s emitters beam infrared channel change
signals to the IR sensor on your converter box–just like a
remote control does.
An IR cable was included in the carton when you originally
purchased your TiVo DVR. If you cannot locate this cable,
please visit www.tivo.com/store to obtain one.

Plug the purple end of the IR cable
into the IR jack (usually the lower
CHANNEL CHANGING jack)
on the back of your TiVo DVR.
Place the emitters in front of the converter box’s IR sensor
as shown, one on top of the box and one on bottom.
Be sure both emitters stick out about 1 ½ inches directly in
front of the IR sensor. Use the adhesive strips provided to
keep them in place.

Previous step
Connect the TiVo DVR to your TV
Your TiVo DVR should already be connected to your TV, just as it
was before you connected the converter box.
Remember, always connect the OUT jack of one device to the IN
jack of the next. Never connect IN to IN or OUT to OUT.
Repeat Guided Setup
Now that your converter box is connected, you’ll need to repeat Guided Setup on your TiVo DVR.
This instructs the DVR how to change channels on the converter box. To repeat Guided Setup:
1. Turn on your TV and press the TiVo button on your TiVo remote to go to the TiVo Central®screen.
2. Select Messages & Settings, then Restart or Reset System, then Repeat Guided Setup.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions. Be sure to select “Antenna with box” when asked for your
TV programming source.
4. After you complete Guided Setup, you’re finished!
