To connect your set-top to your entertainment devices, complete these steps.

Identify the additional devices you 
will connect to the set-top and TV. 
See the Connection Diagrams 
section of this guide.

Determine if your TV is HD or SD 
and whether it is wide-screen (16:9) 
or standard-screen (4:3). See page 
10 for more information.

Make the connections for your TV and VCR as follows:

•  If you are using an HDTV, see page 5 and the connection diagrams at the end of this guide.
•  If you are using an SDTV, see page 6 and the connection diagrams at the end of this guide.
•  If you want to archive some programs to VCR tape, see pages 5 and 6 and the connection 
  diagrams at the end of this guide.

Plug the set-top and the TV into an AC power source that is not controlled by a switch.

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 appear, you must call your service provider to get the set-top authorized.

Set up your set-top for HDTV or SDTV by completing the following steps: 

•  Make sure the set-top is Off and the TV is On. 

•  On the front panel of the set-top, press GUIDE and INFO at the same time. 

•  Follow the on-screen instructions to choose HD or SD mode and wide-screen (16:9) or standard 
  screen (4:3) depending upon your TV type. See Page 10 for more information on the scan rate. 

•  At the conclusion of the on-screen instructions, press POWER on the set-top to begin watching TV.
