Re: Re-setting volume/mute code on Tivo V6 remote
Thanks for the additional info, re using a computer to watch TV, however, I wouldn't need this facility as my wife is the TV addict and never gets near my computer! I've had a look at the "Help and Settings" menu on the TV box which lists the following options: Clear or Reset TiVo box Clear Thumb Ratings Clear Programme Info and Planned Recordings Clear and Delete Everything Could the first option be the one I need? I've also had the following message on the TV app: "TV box needs a free upgrade to TV360 as software upgrades to current box will be discontinued". My current box was replaced in June.15Views0likes3CommentsRe: Re-setting volume/mute code on Tivo V6 remote
Thank you, newapollo. That was the detailed explanation I was looking for, so I will try the reset. The app I am using must be the one you referred to and not the Tivo app that I assumed. My computer display has an HDMI link to the V6 and works fine with the V6 for both video and sound, but there is no direct control for the monitor However, I get much better sound quality by using a couple of amplified speakers plugged directly in to the V6 audio output socket. All I am missing is Volume/Mute control. I will report back when I've tried the reset.33Views0likes1CommentRe: Re-setting volume/mute code on Tivo V6 remote
The TV switches itself off, a few seconds after switching on, either by using the ON/OFF button on the TV or on the Tivo remote. I don't think there can be much wrong with the TV, but finding and/or replacing the faulty component could prove tricky. Many years ago and before TVs were computerized, I was able to fix problems myself. Nowadays we live in a throwaway age! I still don't know if re-setting the RC would delete all the recordings. Also, when I originally put in the code (0170) for my Sharp TV, what was the code that was over-written? If I knew this, then I could then restore/re-set the handset to its original condition. As I stated earlier, the Tivo app works fine on my phone but I don't understand why volume/mute was left out.44Views0likes1CommentRe: Re-setting volume/mute code on Tivo V6 remote
Thanks for the reply. I know the procedure for RC reset, but would this remove all my recordings? I wouldn't mind this, but my wife wouldn't be pleased! Currently we do not have a working TV and I am using a computer monitor to get by. The monitor does not have a facility for controlling sound remotely and I need to restore this function to the Tivo box, without making any other alterations. I have installed the Tivo app on my phone and this works very well, apart from not having the essential volume/mute functions!65Views0likes3CommentsRe-setting volume/mute code on Tivo V6 remote
I would like to restore the default setting on my RC. Several years ago, I altered the code to suit my Sharp TV, but now this TV is faulty and needs replacing. I can remember using the CLR/TV buttons to enter the appropriate code and would now like to reverse this procedure to restore the original code, but what is this code? I can see that there is an on-screen function to re-set the RC, but would this delete all my recordings?Solved127Views0likes11Comments- 48Views0likes0Comments
