Power Save Mode

To maximize the life of your hard drive,

during inactivity.
Between the hours of 1 a.m. and 6 a.m., 
your DVR will periodically check for  
inactivity. If the system senses no activity,  
it will send a warning message and enter  
into Power Down mode. Upon receiving  
the warning, a viewer can simply press  
the remote to continue watching. 

 

Using an HD/DVR Receiver with an HDTV

If you have an HD-capable DVR receiver from Cox and an HDTV, you may need to set 
up the HD/DVR receiver so that it provides video to your HDTV in picture formats that 
your HDTV supports to provide the optimum picture quality. As a default, your HD/DVR 
receiver is programmed to display all high-definition programs in 1080i picture format 
and all standard-definition programs in 480i picture format.
If your HDTV displays a blank screen when you turn it on, the HD/DVR receiver may 
not be sending your HDTV a picture format that your HDTV supports. Follow these steps 
to select the picture format settings for your HDTV.

NOTE:

  Rather than selecting a single picture format, you may want to set up all picture 

formats supported by your HDTV and then use different settings based on the 
format of the program being broadcast.

1.  Consult your HDTV owner’s manual to determine the supported HD picture formats.
2.  If your HD/DVR receiver is off, press 

[ CABLE ]

 and then 

[ POWER ]

 on the remote 

control to turn it on.

3.  Press and hold 

[ SELECT ]

 on the front of the HD/DVR receiver until the Message 

Light blinks.
