Power Source Warning
A label on this product indicates the correct power source for this
product. Operate this product only from an electrical outlet with
the voltage and frequency indicated on the product label. If you are
uncertain of the type of power supply to your home or business,
consult your service provider or your local power company.
The AC inlet on the unit must remain accessible and operable at
all times.
Ground the Product
WARNING: Avoid electric shock and re hazard! If this
product connects to cable wiring, be sure the cable system
is grounded (earthed). Grounding provides some protection
against voltage surges and built-up static charges.
Protect the Product from Lightning
In addition to disconnecting the AC power from the wall outlet,
disconnect the signal inputs.
Verify the Power Source from the
On/O Power Light
When the on/o power light is not illuminated, the apparatus may
still be connected to the power source. The light may go out when
the apparatus is turned o, regardless of whether it is still plugged
into an AC power source.
Eliminate AC Power/Mains Overloads
WARNING: Avoid electric shock and re hazard! Do
not overload AC power/mains, outlets, extension cords, or
integral convenience receptacles. For products that require
battery power or other power sources to operate them,
refer to the operating instructions for those products.
1) Read these instructions.
2) Keep these instructions.
3) Heed all warnings.
4) Follow all instructions.
5) Do not use this apparatus near water.
6) Clean only with dry cloth.
7) Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance
with the manufacturer’s instructions.
8) Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat
registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including ampliers)
that produce heat.
9) Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or
grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with
one wider than the other. A grounding-type plug has two
blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the
third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug
does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for
replacement of the obsolete outlet.
10) Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched
particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point
where they exit from the apparatus.
11) Only use attachments/accessories specified by the
manufacturer.
12) Use onlywiththecart,stand,tripod,bracket, ortable
specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the
apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when
moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from
tip-over.
13) Unplugthisapparatusduringlightningstorms orwhenunused
for long periods of time.
14) Refer all servicing to qualied service personnel. Servicing
is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any
way, such as a power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid
has beenspilledorobjectshave fallenintotheapparatus,the
apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not
operate normally, or has been dropped.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Change the Way You Watch TV
Welcome to Internet Protocol Television (IPTV). The Cisco®ISB7000 Series High-Denition IP Set-Tops
bring a rich, new set of interactive services directly to you through your TV and your in-home IP network.
The set-top uses the existing in-home coaxial cable wiring and connects to most entertainment devices.
Available services may include some or all of the following features:
• Digital Video Recorder (DVR) – Allows you to record your favorite programs so that you can still
go to your friend’s house for dinner and not miss your favorite TV show
• Pause Live TV – Allows you to pay for the pizza and come back to the show where you left it.
(Applies to DVR models only)
• High-Denition (HD) – Provides crystal-clear pictures and sound when compared to standard-
denition – you won’t want to watch television any other way once you’ve experienced HD
• Video-On-Demand (VOD) – Gives you access to a robust library of movies and programs that
you can watch – when you want to watch them
Note: Contact your service provider to nd out if the DVR, HD, or VOD services are available and to
activate the services.

in-home networking over coaxial or twisted-pair
• ISB7005 set-top – The ISB7005 is the same as the ISB7000 but with a wireless feature and no
RF to wall connector
• ISB7030 set-top – The ISB7030 is the same as the ISB7000 but with a 320 GB hard disk drive
• ISB7031 set-top – The ISB7031 is the same as the ISB7030 but without HPNA and without RF
to TV connector
• ISB7050 set-top – The ISB7050 is the same as the ISB7000 but with a 500 GB hard disk drive
• ISB7080 set-top – The ISB7080 is the same as the ISB7000 but with a 1 TB hard disk drive
• ISB7100 set-top – The ISB7100 is the same as the ISB7000 but without optional connectors

CAUTION:
Your set-top may be equipped with a hard disk drive to store programs that
you record and to allow you to rewind and pause live TV. Any time the set-
top is powered on (power LED is illuminated) or a recording is in progress
(the record LED is illuminated), the hard disk drive is in use.
If you need to move the set-top, complete the following steps to allow the
hard disk drive to shut down properly. First, make sure that no recording is
in progress (record LED is o). Then, turn o power by pressing the Power
key. Finally, unplug the unit and wait 10 seconds for the hard disk drive to
spin down (stop). At this point, the unit can be moved safely.
You should handle this product with the same level of care you would use
when handling other electronics containing a hard disk drive, such as a
laptop computer or other hard disk drive-equipped devices.

Because the connections
for a high-denition (HD)
or standard-denition (SD)
TV are dierent, you must
determine if your TV is HD
or SD. Your TV must
receive HD signals for
you to enjoy the benets
of HDTV. Refer to the manual that came with your TV for more information.
See page 30 for more information on picture formats.
Make one of the following connections for your home network:
• If your home network uses coaxial cable, use the TO WALL connector on the
set-top. See page 14.
• If your home network uses twisted pair cable (phoneline wiring), use the TO
WALL connector on the set-top and an adapter that converts twisted pair to
coaxial. See page 14.
• If your home network uses Ethernet (CAT-5) cable, use the NETWORK
connector on the set-top. See page 14.
Connecting the Set-Top
To connect your set-top to your network and home entertainment devices, complete these steps.
Identify the additional consumer
electronic devices you will
connect to the set-top and TV.
See pages 18 through 26 and
refer to the owner’s manual for
the device.
Plug the set-top and the TV into an AC power source that is not controlled by a
switch.
Make the connections for your TV, VCR, and DVD recorder as follows:
• If you are using an HDTV, see page 15 and the connection diagrams in this
manual.
• If you are using a standard-denition TV, see page 16 and the connection
diagrams in this manual.
• If you want to record some programs on VCR tape or DVD, see page 17
