Quick Start Guide
Owners are encouraged to read through this manual to get familiar with the CW-3000HD.
Here is a quic start guide for those who simply must dive in immediately.
1. Connect the receiver to your TV.
Only use 1 video connection between the CW-3000HD and the TV. The CW-3000HD is only
capable of displaying on 1 device at a time. Shutdown the CW-3000HD before changing the
video connection.
Analog audio is connected to the middle green 1/8" minijac on the bac panel. Digital audio
connection is via the RCA connector. You may connect these simultaneously.
2. Connect the Satellite and or Antenna connections.
Satellite and ATSC tuner system:
Connect the satellite cable to the upper connector of the vertical connector pair. Connect
an antenna to the ATSC connector. It is the single connector.
Dual satellite tuner system:
To fully utilize all the functions of the CW-3000HD you need to have 2 satellite cables
connected to the unit. Both cables need to contain identical feeds.(ie. You need a dual
output LNB with 2 separate lines) The upper connector in each vertical pair should be
connected. For a single cable connection you should connect the upper connector on the
vertical pair closest to the edge of the unit.
3. Connect the networ connection.
4. Start the system. The first screen you will see is the adapter settings screen. It is important
that you disable any adapters that do not have an antenna connection. Failure to do so will
result in erratic channel changes.
5. The second screen will be the display settings screen. IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT
THAT YOU SET THESE SETTINGS CORRECTLY. Incorrect settings here may cause you to
not be able to view anything but a blac screen!.This setting also chooses a video calibration
setting that is tailored for the output that you use. Changing the display connection requires
changing this setting to get the correct display calibration.
6. The next screen will be to set the system time. Set it correctly.
7. Restart the system for the display settings to ta e effect. That means press the power button
on the remote and then press the yellow button to restart.

Satellite: If you use a switch, choose your switch type. This will enable either 2 or 4 of the
positions depending on the switch you choose. Choose the LNB types connected to the switch
and then choose the satellite the LNB is aimed at. If you wish to separate the satellites you can
add an offset to the channel numbers so you may find each sats channels quic ly and prevent
overlapping channel numbers. You may set that under edit. 10000 is generally a good number
to separate each satellite or provider. Once all is configured clic the SAVE button. Next you
may scan each satellite you wish to view. Each satellite needs to be scanned separately. Press
the blue button to save the results of the scan.
10. Ma e sure the channels are available in the user profile. Enter the admin profile. Highlight
