CONNECTING THE EQUIPMENT

In order for you to view programs broadcast in high-definition, your set-top must be connected 
to a suitable HDTV or computer monitor. Your set-top is also compatible with standard-definition 
TVs and VCRs.

Your equipment should have been connected up by your installer. However, if you need to 
disconnect and reconnect your equipment, read pages 10 through 14. 

On pages 12 and 13, there are two typical connection setups for an HDTV,  VCR, DVD player, and 
home theater receiver.

These setups make efficient use of the connectors on your set-top. However, depending on 
your other equipment and the connectors on it, the person who installed your system may have 
chosen to connect things differently.

Both setups allow stereo recording and play-back of video tapes. You hear stereo sound from the 
home theater’s loudspeakers.

Although the RF cables (shown by dashed lines in the diagrams) are not absolutely necessary, 
we recommend that you connect them as a back-up and to use the RF Bypass feature. If you use 
the RF cables, you must tune your TV (and VCR) to your set-top’s VHF output channel (3 or 4: 
consult your cable service-provider to find which channel it is for your location).  
Consult the manuals supplied with your TV and VCR for information on how to tune.

You can take advantage of the digital audio output from your set-top by connecting a suitable 
cable between your home theater receiver and the OPTICAL AUDIO OUT connector (as shown in 
the diagrams) or the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT connector.

WARNINGS

Do not connect your set-top (or any other 

equipment such as a TV or VCR) to the AC power 

supply until you have properly connected all the 

other cables.
Disconnect your set-top from the AC power supply 

before you disconnect any other equipment from its 

rear panel.
The only way to disconnect your set-top from the 

AC power supply is to remove the AC power cord 

(or switch the wall AC outlet switch, if present, to 

its OFF position). Your set-top must therefore be 

installed near the wall AC outlet, which should be 

easily accessible.
The power outlet is designed only for connection to 

the AC power cord for a TV. The maximum power 

it can supply is 500 watts. Do not connect any 

equipment that uses more than 500 watts, or any 

non-TV equipment such as a toaster or hair dryer.
The cable input is designed for connection to a 

cable network only. You must not connect any other 

equipment, such as a VCR, to this input.
Any cable connected to DIGITAL AUDIO OUT must 

be 75 ohm coaxial cable, not regular audio cable.
