Get to know your Whole Home DVR/set-top box
Your Whole Home DVR/set-top box is a Motorola VIP 1232/1216/1200. It supports all of advanced
digital TV services including Pay Per View, Video on Demand and HD.
Your DVR and set-top box must be handled much in the same way as a computer to reduce
potential for damage.
• Position it in an open space to allow airflow around the DVR/set-top box
• Do not place the DVR/set-top box in an enclosed entertainment unit or cabinet
• Do not place the DVR/set-top box on a soft surface such as a rug, sofa, bed or other
similar surface
• The DVR/set-top box should not be next to an external heat source that could raise
the temperature of the unit
• Connection into a surge protector along with your other audio/video equipment is
highly recommended
