USING YOUR DVR FOR iO TV REMOTE CONTROL 

2

WELCOME! 

With the iO TV Digital Video Recorder
(DVR), you can easily record your
favorite programs and then play them
back anytime. The DVR for iO TV and
Picture-In-Picture (PIP) features give
you complete control, convenience,
and choice when watching TV. Use
your DVR for iO TV to control the
following features...

Control Live TV

The telephone is ringing and you do not want to miss any scenes of your
favorite live TV program. DVR for iO TV lets you 

PAUSE

the live program, 

or 

REWIND

and 

PLAY

a portion of it again, or 

FAST-FORWARD

it to catch

up to live TV.

Sports fans can enjoy complete control by using 

INSTANT REPLAY

SLOW MOTION

, and 

FRAME ADVANCE AND REWIND

to watch their 

favorite play again.

Record TV Programs Without a VCR

RECORD

and save your favorite TV programs to the DVR for iO TV to 

watch later.

When two of your favorite TV programs are scheduled at the same time, 

RECORD

one program to the built-in recorder while watching the other!

Never miss your favorite programs that are scheduled at the same time. 
Simply 

RECORD

both programs at the same time. While recording both 

programs, you can play back a third program you have already recorded.

RECORD

a single episode, or program your DVR for iO TV to record all

episodes of your favorite TV programs.

RECORD

one of your favorite TV programs and at the same time, access 

any advanced application, such as On Demand or iO Games.

Not sure if you have room to 

RECORD

new programs? You can check your 

available recording space any time.

Watch Two TV Programs at the Same Time

PIP is built into the DVR for iO TV, so you can watch two live programs at the
same time on any make or model TV that is connected to your DVR for iO TV.

When something exciting occurs in the PIP program, you can easily swap 
the PIP into the Main screen. Once that program is in the Main screen, you 
can pause, rewind, or record it.

When the PIP screen position is covering a “must see” moment on the Main 
screen, simply 

MOVE

the PIP screen to a different corner of your TV screen.
