Connecting the Set-Top
To connect your set-top to your entertainment devices, complete these steps.
1. Connect your TV to the set-top. (See connection diagram.)
2. Plug the set-top and the TV into a power source that is not controlled by a
wall switch.
3. Do not turn on the set-top or TV yet.
4. Wait for the green LED to illuminate. It may take several minutes for
the set-top to receive the latest software, programming, and service
information.
5. Press
POWER
on the remote control.
6. The first time you turn on the set-top, the Setup Wizard will start. Read
and follow the directions on the screen to get your set-top ready for use.
Connecting to a TV and VCR
WARNING: Electric shock hazard! Unplug all electronic devices
before connecting or disconnecting any device cables to the set-top.
Watch TV
When you turn on the set-top, you will see a screen with the service
provider logo until the set-top has downloaded the latest programming
information.
Setup Wizard
The first time you turn on the set-top, you will see the Setup Wizard window.
In the Setup Wizard, you can select the language, screen settings, and video
resolution for your set-top. Follow the instructions on each screen.
If you want to change any of the settings at a later time, you can access the
Setup Wizard by choosing Revert to Factory Settings within the Settings
option on the Main Menu. Doing so will erase all of your setup choices and
display the Setup Wizard again.
