Before connecting your SDTV to the set-top, read the
Connections for a Standard-De
fi
nition TV and VCR
section on page 10. Then, see the connection diagrams
beginning on page 12.
Do not turn on the set-top or TV yet.
It may take several minutes for the set-top to receive the
latest software, programming, and service information. Wait
until you see one of the following displays on the front panel
of the set-top that indicates that the update is complete:
• Current time • Four dashes (- - - -)
Note
: If four dashes are displayed, you must call your cable
service provider to get the set-top authorized.
Connecting the Set-Top
To connect your set-top to your entertainment devices, complete these steps.
To begin watching TV, turn the TV ON, and press POWER on
the front of the set-top or Power on the remote control.
Plug the set-top and the TV into an AC power source.
Important:
To protect the set-top from power surge
damage, ground (earth) your cable product to provide
some protection against voltage surges and built-up static
charges. To avoid these voltage surges that can be caused
by lightning storms and power outages, plug the set-top into
a surge protector to reduce the risk of damage.

Connect the coaxial cable that carries the signal from your
cable service provider to the CABLE IN connector on the
back panel of the set-top.
