WARNINGS
Do not connect your set-top box
(or any other equipment such as
a TV or VCR) to the power supply
until you have properly connected
all the other cables.
Disconnect your set-top box’s
power supply unit from the
AC power supply before you
disconnect any other equipment
from its rear panel.
The only way to disconnect your
set-top box from the AC power
supply is to remove the power
supply unit from the wall AC outlet
(or switch the wall AC outlet switch,
if present, to its OFF position).
Your set-top box must therefore be
installed near to the wall AC outlet,
which should be easily accessible.
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.
Possible setups
In order for you to view programs broadcast in high-definition, your set-top box must be connected to a
suitable HDTV or computer monitor.
Your equipment should have been connected up by your installer. However, if you need to disconnect and
reconnect your equipment, read pages 8 and 9.
There are two typical connection setups shown:
• Setup A for an HDTV.
• Setup B for an HDTV, with an optional VCR.
The setups shown make efficient use of the connectors on your set-top box. However, depending on your other
equipment and the connectors on it, the person who installed your system may have chosen to connect things
differently.
Recording programs
Setups B allow stereo recording and play-back of video tapes.
RF connections
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. If you use the RF cables, you must tune your TV (and VCR) to your set-
top box’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.
CONNECTING THE EQUIPMENT
NOTE
Copy protection via an HDMI secure link
The HDMI link between your set-top box and your HDTV should be a secure link. When your set-top
box is attached via an HDMI cable to an HDCP-compliant (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection)
HDTV, the HDTV and set-top box negotiate a secure link, which allows your set-top box to transmit full
resolution video (picture) to your HDTV.
Not all HDTVs support HDCP. If your set-top box is connected to an HDTV that does not support it, the
following may be displayed:
Your HDTV does not support HDCP.
Please use the RF Output (Cable Out) connection to watch TV.
The HDMI output is then disabled, so no picture is transmitted from this connector. In that case, use the
RF (Cable Out) connector to connect up (see Setup B).
