If you are seeing a 'Pair Your TiVo Remote' Screen, follow this link.

Normally your TiVo S6A Remote will be paired with your TiVo Android TV device during initial setup. The signals run on BlueTooth technology and will work through walls, around corners, etc.

Please note: Only one remote can be paired with one Android Box at a time. If you are using a replacement remote and have the original, you need to Unpair the original, then pair the new one to the Android Box using the steps below:

1. Press and hold TiVo. While holding down TiVo, press Back. Hold both for approximately 3 seconds. The activity indicator lights up red and stays on
2. Press VOLUME DOWN 3 times and then press and release the OK button
3. The activity indicator will flash red 3 times, indicating that theremote is now reset and not paired. If this is your original remote, remove the batteries so that it does not automatically pair to the equipment again. If this is your new remote, continue below
   • You'll notice it still works in IR (infrared) mode, but you can't use voice commands and the remote must be in the direct sight of the IPTV box. The remote must be paired.
4. To pair the remote back to the IPTV box:
   1. Place or hold your remote no more than 2 feet from the IPTV box
   2. A screen that searches for Bluetooth devices should pop up. If you don't see the screen, press the TiVo button
      • Your remote indicator light starts flashing amber; this means it's trying to communicate with the IPTV box
   3. The IPTV box should automatically pair the remote. If unsuccessful, Reboot the android device using the reset button under the equipment.The reset button can be pressed using a paper clip. If the devices are still not paired, repeat the steps above.

The TiVo S6A Remote works with the TiVo Android TV device to automatically configure TV and AV devices.

To control your equipment, be sure to do the following:

1. Point the remote at the equipment when using it, making sure that there is a clear line of sight. Your TV should program automatically
2. The Activity light on the remote should blink with each keypress. If not, try replacing the batteries
3. You can do this with your audio device as well

Alternately, if the remote does not automatically program the TV, you can use the manual method:

1. TiVo Home | left arrow to Menu | Settings | Remote Settings
   
2. Select Remote Control Programming
   
3. Follow the on-screen instructions

Your TiVo S6A Remote supports voice control using Google Assistant. Press the Google Assistant button on your remote to search what’s on now, change channels, record a show, open apps, and more.

Overview

This article uses some terms that might be unfamiliar. Read through this list of terms and definitions if you need clarification:

• IR mode: In infrared (IR) mode, the remote relies on a direct line of sight to control the DVR via infrared signals. The remote is set in IR mode when you take it out of the box. IR mode does not require the remote to be paired to a specific DVR. In this mode, the remote will work with ANY of our TiVos.

• RF mode: In radio frequency (RF) mode, the remote does not require a direct line of sight. Rather, the remote can control a DVR anywhere within a radius of approximately 30 feet. To enter RF mode, you must pair the remote to a specific DVR

Pairing mode: Supports two methods for pairing:

• New Pairing mode: The remote control that comes with your 6 Tuner TiVo is already in New Pairing mode. This pairing mode allows you to pair the DVR and remote control automatically by pressing any button on the remote control.
• Allow Pairing mode: This pairing mode is for manually adding a new remote control or transferring a remote control from one DVR to another. When you put the remote control in Allow Pairing mode, it will pair with any available 6 Tuner TiVo that is accepting pairing requests within range.


Global Reset: The Global Reset function un-pairs the remote control from the paired DVR and clears any other remote settings, such as IR codes for your TV or other A/V devices.



Remote activity indicator colors


When the remote control is in Allow Pairing mode, the activity indicator (the TiVo logo's antennae on the TiVo button) slowly flashes. When the remote control successfully pairs with a DVR, the activity indicator flashes quickly five times and then stops.

When you press buttons on the remote, the activity indicator flashes different colors to indicate what kind of signal the remote is sending:

• If the activity indicator flashes red, the remote is sending IR commands to the DVR.
• If the activity indicator flashes amber, the remote is paired and is sending RF commands to the DVR.

NOTE: 6 Tuner TiVos can be paired with up to 10 remote controls.

Using the Remote

Batteries

Install two (2) "AA" batteries as indicated by the diagram in the battery compartment. Be careful to properly match the "+ / -" ends of the batteries with the diagram in the battery compartment.



When the batteries become too weak to operate the remote control properly, the TiVo will start to be unresponsive to remote commands. When this happens, install 2 new "AA" size batteries.

IMPORTANT: You will need both the paired remote and the DVR to perform a global reset. If your paired remote has been lost or damaged, you will need to use a new remote in IR mode to put the DVR in a pairing state, then pair the new remote to the DVR. For instructions, see To Pair a different remote to your DVR.

Overview

This article uses some termsthat might be unfamiliar. Read through this list ofterms and definitions if you need clarification:

• IR mode: In infrared (IR)mode, the remote relies on a direct line ofsight to control the DVR via infrared signals.The remote is set in IR mode when you take itout of the box. IR mode does not require theremote to be paired to a specific DVR. Inthis mode, the remote works with ANY of ourTiVos.

• RF mode: In radiofrequency (RF) mode, the remote does not requirea direct line of sight. Rather, the remote cancontrol a DVR anywhere within a radius ofapproximately 30 feet. To enter RF mode, youmust pair the remote to a specific DVR

Pairing mode: Supports twomethods for pairing:

• New Pairingmode: The remote control that comes withyour 6 Tuner TiVo is already in New Pairingmode. This pairing mode allows you to pair theDVR and remote control automatically by pressingany button on the remote control.
• Allow Pairingmode: This pairing mode is for manuallyadding a new remote control or transferring aremote control from one DVR to another. When youput the remote control in Allow Pairing mode, itwill pair with any available 6 Tuner TiVo thatis accepting pairing requests within range.


Global Reset: The Global Reset functionun-pairs the remote control from the paired DVRand clears any other remote settings, such as IRcodes for your TV or other A/V devices.



Remote activity indicator colors


When the remotecontrol is in Allow Pairing mode, the activityindicator (the TiVo logo's antennae on the TiVobutton) slowly flashes. When the remote controlsuccessfully pairs with a DVR, the activityindicator flashes quickly five times and thenstops.

When you press buttons on the remote, the activityindicator flashes different colors to indicatewhat kind of signal the remote is sending:

• If the activityindicator flashes red, the remote is sending IRcommands to the DVR.
• If the activityindicator flashes amber, the remote is pairedand is sending RF commands to the DVR.

NOTE: 6 Tuner TiVoscan be paired with up to 10 remote controls.
