Your New Remote Control
>  

 Program your remote control to operate the power and 
volume of your television using the instruction and code 
booklet included with the remote control.

>  

 With the 4-device remote control, remember to first press the 
device key to choose the device you want to control (Cable, TV, 
DVD, Auxiliary). Example: to control the cable receiver, press the  

cable button  on the remote control and select a button to

Fast Connect Success Tips

Your TV Screen Type

Television screens vary, depending on the type of television or monitor: 

Black bars on the sides indicate that the program is 
formatted in a standard 4:3 mode and likely not in  
high-definition.

Change your TV format (i.e., stretch, zoom, normal) by 
pressing the # button on your Cox remote control to  
fill the screen.

Black bars on the top and bottom indicate that the  
program is a widescreen image. This occurs in both  
standard and high-definition programming. No TV format 
change is necessary.

What is  burn-in  and how do I avoid it on my HDTV?

If you consistently watch standard-definition (4:3 aspect ratio) programming on a  
wide-screen (16:9 aspect ratio) television or HD programming with sidebars over very long 
periods of time, you may ruin your HDTV’s ability to display colors evenly across the screen. 
Your wide-screen HDTV may have picture size adjustment features (zoom, stretch, etc.) 
that can be used to remove the black bars (thereby preventing burn-in) that you see when 
watching standard-definition programming. 

Consult your HDTV owner’s manual for details.
