To connect your DVR to your entertainment devices, complete these steps.

D

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

Connect your SDTV to the DVR. Refer to the Connections for a 
Standard-Defi nition TV and Standard VCR section on page 5. 

Identify the additional 
devices you will connect 
to the DVR and TV. 
See pages 8 through 
11 and the related 
user guides for more 
information.
Plug the DVR 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.

Do not turn on the DVR or TV yet.

It may take several minutes for the DVR to receive the latest 

software, programming, and service information. Wait until one of 

the following appears on the front panel of the DVR to indicate the 

update is complete:
•  Current time 

•  Four dashes (- - - -) 

Note: If four dashes appear, your DVR is not authorized. Call your 
service provider.

To begin watching TV, turn the TV ON, and press POWER on the 
front panel of the DVR or press Power on the remote control.
