TiVo Series2 Network Guide

Music & Photos

Make sure that the volume on your television or home entertainment center 
is set to a pleasing level. To listen to music on the TiVo Series2 DVR:

1. From TiVo Central, select Music & Photos.

2. On the Music & Photos screen, you see an option that lets you view the 

music stored on your computer. For example, if your computer name is 
“My Computer” and your username is “Steve,” then the option is called 
“Steve’s Music on My Computer.” If your computer is not named, the 
option is called simply “Steve’s Music.” Select this option.

3. You will see any playlists or folders that you have published. Highlight 

one and press PLAY. In a few seconds, music starts playing. After the 
first song ends, the second song in the playlist or folder begins.

If you are unable to hear music on your TiVo Series2 DVR, please refer to 
“Music & Photos Troubleshooting” on page 54.

Control Buttons. With the exception of SLOW, which doesn’t work while 
playing music, the control buttons on your TiVo remote (PLAY, PAUSE, 
FAST FORWARD, REWIND) work while you are playing music on your 
DVR just like they do while watching recorded TV programs. Press 
ADVANCE to skip to tick marks on the status bar while fast-forwarding or 
rewinding. Skip to the next or previous track using CHAN UP/DOWN. 
Jump back 8 seconds with INSTANT REPLAY. 

While music is playing, you can press the LEFT arrow to return to the Music 
screen. A note reminds you that you can press LIVE TV to return to the 
music playback screen. If you exit the Music feature, the music will stop, 
and the LIVE TV button will display live TV.

Status Bar. When you press any of the control buttons, the status bar 
appears on the lower part of the screen. The status bar represents the total 
length of the song currently playing. Three white tick marks are evenly-
spaced, regardless of the song length. A white vertical line shows you 
where you are in the song. Press CLEAR to hide the status bar, and 
anything else on the screen.

Music Banner. The music banner at the top of the screen is similar to the 
channel banner shown when watching live TV. Press the RIGHT arrow to 
display the music banner while a song is playing. It shows the folder or
