TDC777D INSTALLER’S MANUAL (502-3432110)
OVERVIEW
• Read all the safety information on pages 3 through 5.
• Familiarize yourself with the front and rear panels of the set-top (see below and page 7).
• Is the set-top in a TV cabinet with closed non-transparent doors or somewhere else where its IR-receive window is blocked from view? If so, connect
a remote “eye” (IR receiver) (see page 8).
• Decide how you want to connect the set-top (and to which equipment) and look at the table on page 9 to see which setup you should use.
• Be aware of menu settings that could affect your choice of setup (see page 33).
• Connect the equipment together according to your chosen setup, but do not yet connect the power cords (see pages 10 through 18).
• Connect the power cords and turn on the equipment (see pages 19 and 20).
• Check that you can see a picture on the TV (see page 22) and do any necessary tuning (see page 21).
• Check whether the user settings are appropriate for the TV being used and change them if necessary (see pages 25 through 31).
• Any problems? Display the diagnostic screens (see page 34) and consult the “Solving Problems” section on page 35.
