TiVo Series2 Zusätzliches Handbuch

Digital technology is blurring the lines between different kinds of home 
entertainment. Not too long ago, people used completely different 
equipment to watch TV, view slide shows of photos, or listen to music. 

The home entertainment center brought the TV and the stereo together. 
Digital cameras have taken the slide projector out of the slide show by 
allowing you to view photos on your computer (or even on your TV!). The 
digital video recorder (DVR) is making digital recording of TV programs 
commonplace. 

By providing a convergence point for all the digital entertainment in your 
home, the TiVo

®

 Series2 DVR makes it easy for you to enjoy music, photos, 

and TV programming in the comfort of your living room.
