TiVo Sound Effects and Dolby Digital Audio

• When a TiVo is connected with Digital Audio (HMDI) TiVo sounds effects won't play during Live TV or recordings with a Dolby Digital audio track
   
• This is normal, the TiVo automatically selects the Dolby Digital track to record the highest quality sound possible
   
• To conserve memory and disk space, TiVo software doesn't include sound effects with these tracks
   
• TiVo sound effects are heard while navigating through TiVo menus and screens, and while viewing programs that do not include a Dolby Digital audio track
