TV Setup – A-Series 

To establish communication to interface module the CCI port on the TV must be active and you must have a PDi programming remote 
PD108-420 (not included).   
 

1.

 

From the TV, open the TV Setup Menu by pressing SETUP on the programming remote.  

2.

 

Select “Sources” and then select “Source Enable”.  Set each item as detailed below. 

The TV Source Setup must properly reflect the actual connections 
to the TV.  Incorrect settings will result in loss of programming or 
the addition of blank signal sources.  In most installations, both 
cable/satellite and off-air programming is delivered over RF so 
the “TV” must be enabled.  If the cable/satellite channels are 
delivered over an alternate method such as HDMI, then that 
source must be enabled.  All unused sources should be disabled.   

TV Setup – medTAB 

medTAB14C, medTAB19C, and medTAB16C are compatible with PDi interface modules. To establish communication to interface 
module the CCI port on the TV must be active.  Setup on the medTAB14C and medTAB16C can be completed with a PDi programming 
remote PD108-420 (not included).  medTAB19C setup is completed through onscreen touchscreen controls.   
 

1.

 

From the TV app, open the TV Settings Menu, by pressing SETUP on the programming remote or by pressing Settings on the 
touchscreen TV controls.  Enter password (“45066” is factory default).  

2.

 

Select “Advanced Option”. 

3.

 

Select “Features” then select “Input Sources”.  Set each item as detailed below.

Verifying and Troubleshooting Connections 

The following steps verify the data connections between the STB and TV.  These instructions assume you have 
followed the previous connection and TV setup sections of this manual. 
 
1.

 

Power the TV. 

2.

 

Power the set-top-box.  

3.

 

Power the interface module.  Note-If using a DirectTV box, power is through the USB cable. 

4.

 

Examine the front mounted status lights on the PD295-004 interface module.  It contains a POWER, STB (set-
top-box), TV COM, LINK, and HDMI status lights.   

a.

 

Each light will turn green (yellow for power) when properly connected. 

b.

 

A dark (Off) status light indicates a problem.   

c.

 

A blinking STB LINK LED indicates data transfer.  HDMI blinking means HDMI video content is not 
copy protected. 

d.

 

All 5 lights lit indicate all connections are working properly and HDMI is being sent to the TV. 

 
Please review the “Troubleshooting” section for additional help. 
 
NOTE:  While the LINK light indicates a working connection to the TV, it does not confirm the audio/video (RF or 
HDMI) from the STB is connected to the correct TV.
