TiVo Series2 Supplementary Manual

Music & Photos

The TiVo Server uses a cache folder whose location appears in the Cache 
Folder field. The “Move” button lets you browse for a new location and 
place the cache folder there. Beneath this field is a control that lets you 
control the size of the cache. A larger cache speeds up the performance of 
Music & Photos, but uses more of the PC’s hard drive. If you use the PC for 
other resource-intensive tasks, you may wish to keep the cache fairly small.

A control called Resource Usage lets you determine how much of your PC’s 
resources Music & Photos uses. If you use your PC frequently, drag this 
control toward the low end so that your PC will run faster when you are 
using it. If your PC is not usually doing something else when you use Music 
& Photos, drag this control toward the high end for maximum performance 
when viewing music and photos on your TiVo Series2 DVR.

The Access Control tab lets you determine which DVRs have access to the 
music and photos stored on your PC. 

Normally, the music and photos published from your PC are available to 
any TiVo Series2 DVR with Home Media Option on the same home 
network. In some cases, you may wish to allow only certain DVRs access to 
the music and photos on your PC.
