Save to VCR
If you have a VCR, you can save a program from Now Playing to a videotape. Transfers to
a VCR happen in real time. For example, if a program is two hours long, it will take two
hours to save it. You will not be able to watch live TV or recordings while saving.
Most of the buttons on your remote that control live TV work as usual during Save to
VCR. Keep in mind that the VCR will record the video exactly as it is played. (This means
you can fast forward through the boring parts!)
If you press a button on your remote that would actually interrupt the transfer
to VCR—for example, if you press GUIDE, the TiVo button, or PAUSE—a
videotape icon appears as a warning.
Preparing to Save to VCR:
1. Set up your VCR. Be sure you have connected your TiVo recorder’s video and audio
to your VCR’s video and audio. (See your Start Here booklet and Installation Guide
for details on how to connect your TiVo recorder to a VCR.)
2. Be sure your VCR is set to record input from your TiVo recorder, not some other video
source. (See your VCR’s instructions for how to set the input.)
3. Make sure you have a videotape in the VCR.
Using Save to VCR:
1. Go to Now Playing, highlight the show you want to save, then press SELECT.
2. Using the arrow buttons, highlight “Save to VCR,” then press SELECT.
3. Select “Start saving from the beginning.”
The VCR will also record the channel
banner, status bar, and any icons
that may appear on the screen if you press
buttons on the remote.
