Pace Xi5 (PX051AEI) USER GUIDE (DRAFT-160208)
WARNINGS
Do not connect your set-top box
(or any other equipment such as
a TV or DVD player) to the power
supply until you have properly
connected all the other cables.
Disconnect your set-top box’s
power supply unit from the
AC power supply before you
disconnect any other equipment
from its rear panel.
The only way to disconnect your
set-top box from the AC power
supply is to remove the power
supply unit from the wall AC outlet
(or switch the wall AC outlet switch,
if present, to its OFF position).
Your set-top box must therefore be
installed near to the wall AC outlet,
which should be easily accessible.
Typical setup
A typical setup is shown on page 9. This shows a Pace Xi5 connected to a high-definition TV via an HDMI
cable. You Xi5 receives content from your cable TV service provider via a WiFi connection to a 5 GHz wireless
router (this connection can also be made using an Ethernet cable). See page 11 for more information on
wireless connections.
Your equipment should have been connected up by your installer. However, if you need to disconnect and
reconnect your equipment, read page 9.
The setup shown on page 8 make efficient use of the connectors on your set-top box. However, depending
on your other equipment and the connectors on it, the person who installed your system may have chosen to
connect things differently.
NOTES
In order for you to view programs broadcast in high-definition, your set-top box must be connected to a
suitable HDTV or computer monitor.
To connect your set-top box wirelessly to your cable TV service provider, your home must have a 5 GHz
wireless router or access point that supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) so that the set-top box can
correctly associate with your wireless network. See page 11 for more information.
Your cable TV service-provider determines the digital channels, services, and screen information that you see
on your TV when you use your set-top box and its remote control.
Consult the information supplied by your cable service-provider for details on how to make the most of the
digital cable services. Also read the operating instructions that are supplied with your remote control.
CONNECTING THE EQUIPMENT
NOTE
Copy protection via an HDMI
secure link
The HDMI link between your set-top box and your HDTV should be a secure link. When your set-top
box is attached via an HDMI cable to an HDCP-compliant (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection)
HDTV, the HDTV and set-top box negotiate a secure link, which allows your set-top box to transmit full
resolution video (picture) to your HDTV.
Not all HDTVs support HDCP. If your set-top box is connected to an HDTV that does not support it, the
HDMI output is then disabled, so no picture is transmitted from this connector.
