or
Samsung model
A few tips to keep in mind:
If the picture freezes or the digital cable box won’t respond, you can reboot your digital cable box:
•
Unplug the power cord. Wait five seconds, plug it back in and when you see “turn” and “on” alternating on the front panel of the digital
cable box, you can turn it back on. When the digital cable box displays the time, the reboot is complete.
If you experience a “postage stamp” image or gray/black bars on the left and right of the HDTV screen:
•
If you’re using component cables (red, blue and green), make sure the colors on your component cables match the color of the
outlet they’re being plugged into.
•
For Samsung models, make sure the proper picture format is set on your HDTV and digital cable box (see Step 5).
•
If you have a Scientific Atlanta digital cable box, check to make sure it’s an HD model. If the model number located on the front of
the digital cable box includes the letters “HD,” then you have an HD digital cable box. All Samsung digital cable boxes are HD.
If you’re replacing an existing cable box:
•
Unplug the cables and power cord and start at Step 1 of the model that pertains to you. You’ll need to return the cable box and
power cord to any Optimum store or you can get a shipping label to ship them back at
optimum.net/shippinglabel
.
