USING YOUR DVR FOR iO TV REMOTE CONTROL
2
WELCOME!
With the iO TV Digital Video Recorder
(DVR), you can easily record your
favorite programs and then play them
back anytime. The DVR for iO TV and
Picture-In-Picture (PIP) features give
you complete control, convenience,
and choice when watching TV. Use
your DVR for iO TV to control the
following features...
Control Live TV
The telephone is ringing and you do not want to miss any scenes of your
favorite live TV program. DVR for iO TV lets you PAUSE the live program,
or REWIND and PLAY a portion of it again, or FAST-FORWARD it to catch
up to live TV.
Sports fans can enjoy complete control by using INSTANT REPLAY,
SLOW MOTION, and FRAME ADVANCE AND REWIND to watch their
favorite play again.
Record TV Programs Without a VCR
RECORD and save your favorite TV programs to the DVR for iO TV to
watch later.
When two of your favorite TV programs are scheduled at the same time,
RECORD one program to the built-in recorder while watching the other!
Never miss your favorite programs that are scheduled at the same time.
Simply RECORD both programs at the same time. While recording both
programs, you can play back a third program you have already recorded.
RECORD a single episode, or program your DVR for iO TV to record all
episodes of your favorite TV programs.
RECORD one of your favorite TV programs and at the same time, access
any advanced application, such as On Demand or iO Games.
Not sure if you have room to RECORD new programs? You can check your
available recording space any time.
Watch Two TV Programs at the Same Time
PIP is built into the DVR for iO TV, so you can watch two live programs at the
same time on any make or model TV that is connected to your DVR for iO TV.
When something exciting occurs in the PIP program, you can easily swap
the PIP into the Main screen. Once that program is in the Main screen, you
can pause, rewind, or record it.
When the PIP screen position is covering a “must see” moment on the Main
screen, simply MOVE the PIP screen to a different corner of your TV screen.

The Copy to VCR feature lets you copy recordings from your DVR for iO TV to a
VCR tape. Warning: Avoid electric shock. Unplug all electronic
devices before connecting or disconnecting any
device cables to the DVR for iO TV.
Verify that the OUT 2
outputs are connected

Note: This graphic
shows the HD-DVR for
iO TV back panel layout.
The DVR for iO TV back
panel is slightly
different.
The program that you
are copying appears in
the PIP window. Connecting to your VCR using the OUT 2 outputs allows you
to watch or record another program or even change channels in the Main
screen, without affecting the copy in progress.
Notes:
• You can turn the PIP feature off and on without affecting the copy in
progress. A “Copying to VCR” banner will be displayed for 3 seconds when
you turn the PIP feature on.
• You can still record live TV directly to a VCR tape (instead of your
DVR for iO TV) by connecting the DVR for iO TV OUT 2 outputs directly to
the VCR inputs and not using the Copy a Recording to a VCR Tape
instructions on page 12. Recording live TV directly to your VCR causes the
VCR to record all remote control activities, including information banners
and on-screen displays such as when Guide is pressed.

To maximize the life of your DVR, you should power-down the DVR when it
is not in use. Simply press CBL and then TV on your remote control, or
press Power on the front panel of the DVR.The Power light turns off; but,
because the DVR is still plugged in, your scheduled recordings still occur.
Between 1:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. daily, your DVR will automatically enter
Power-Save mode unless you press a key on the remote control or a key on
the DVR front panel at least once every 2 hours. In Power-Save mode, the
set-top is powered-down, but all scheduled recordings still occur. When the
DVR enters Power-Save mode, your TV displays a grey screen with a
“Press Any Key” message.
Note: Cablevision controls whether or not the automatic Power-Save mode is
activated on your DVR for iO TV.
At 1:10 a.m., the DVR displays a 5-minute warning banner, indicating that
the DVR is about to enter power-save mode. When this banner appears,
do one of the following:
• To allow the DVR to enter Power-Save mode, do nothing when the warning
banner appears. The DVR will automatically power-down. After your DVR
powers down, press any key on your remote control, or press Power on the
front panel of your DVR to start watching TV again.
• To prevent the DVR from entering Power-Save mode, simply press any key
on your remote or any key on the front panel of the DVR when the warning
banner appears. The DVR will not attempt to enter power-save mode again

What is the Difference Between a Standard Screen and a
Wide Screen?
The type of screen your HDTV has (wide screen or standard screen)
determines how the HD-DVR for iO TV displays programs on the screen.
The picture format for an HDTV is a combination of aspect ratio and screen
resolution and is different for standard-screen and wide-screen HDTVs.
What is Aspect Ratio?
An aspect ratio is the ratio of the width to the height of the TV screen.
The aspect ratios differ because the television industry manufactures
both standard-screen and wide-screen TVs to appeal to consumer
viewing preferences.
What is the Screen Resolution?
The screen resolution indicates the amount of detail that the picture displays.
Resolution is identified by the number of display lines on the screen. The
techniques that an HDTV uses to “paint” the picture on the screen are
referred to as progressive and interlaced.
Progressive scan displays all of the lines of a resolution sequentially in a
single pass, resulting in a smoother image, especially with high motion
programming, such as sports or action movies.
Interlaced images are drawn on your screen sequentially: odd-numbered
lines drawn first, then even-numbered lines — all within 1/30 of a second.
23
PICTURE FORMATS FOR HD-DVR FOR iO TV
22
A standard screen has a 4:3 aspect
ratio. The screen is 4 units wide for
every 3 units tall.
A screen resolution of 480p or 480i
fills the screen.
A wide-screen HDTV is 16 units
wide for every 9 units tall.
A screen resolution of 720p or 1080i
fills the screen.

Required Connections for an HDTV
When using the HD-DVR for iO TV with an HDTV set, you must make one of
the following connections to view the HD content. In addition, you can make
connections to a VCR or other external recording device. See the tables and
cabling diagrams in this section for more detailed information.
CONNECTING THE HD-DVR FOR iO TV TO
ENTERTAINMENT DEVICES
HD-DVR for iO
Connector HDTV
Connector
HDMI
Some HDTVs have an HDMI or DVI connector. The HDMI
connector provides both a digital video and audio
connection. The DVI connector provides a digital video
connection. The HDMI connector provides the optimal
connection to an HDTV with either an HDMI input or a DVI
input. If your HDTV has a DVI connector, you will need an
HDMI-to-DVI adaptor, and you will need to connect a
separate audio connection.
COMPONENT
Most HDTVs have component (PrPbY) connectors for video
inputs. When you set up the HD-DVR for iO TV in HD
mode, the Y/G connector supplies the “Y” component of the
component video. See the diagram on page 24 for an
example. Refer to this guide or your HDTV user’s guide to
choose the proper scan rates (480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i) for
your setup. See the Picture Formats section in this guide
for more information on scan rate.

There are several brands and models of VCRs in the marketplace. The features
and connectors are not the same on all brands and models. The following table

HD-DVR for iO TV
TROUBLESHOOTING
If the DVR for iO TV does not perform as expected,
the following tips may help. If you need further
assistance, contact your cable service provider.
No Picture
• Verify that the power to your TV is turned on.
• If plugged into a wall switch, verify the switch is in
the ON position.
• Verify that all cables are properly connected.
• If your system includes a VCR and/or stereo,
verify that you have properly connected them to
the DVR for iO TV.
• Verify that the TV is set to the proper input.
• Verify that the TV is connected to the proper TV
input port.
• If HDTV, verify that the DVR for iO TV is set to
the proper screen type and resolution using the
HDTV Wizard.
No Color
• Verify that the current TV program is broadcast
in color.
• Adjust the TV color controls.
No Sound
• If your setup includes a VCR or stereo, verify that
you have properly connected them to the DVR for
iO TV.
• Verify that the volume is turned up.
• Verify that the mute function is not engaged.
• See “Important” Note under “Getting Connected”.
Automatic Software Updates
The TV screen displays a message that indicates
the DVR for iO TV is automatically updating its
software. Wait for the time to display on the front
panel of your DVR for iO TV before continuing with
the installation process. When the front panel
displays the time, the update is complete.
USING PARENTAL CONTROL
Blocking and Unblocking Channels Using
General Settings
Perform the following steps to select channels that
you want to block.
1. Press the SETTINGS key twice.
2. At the General Settings menu, press the UP or
DOWN arrow keys to highlight Block: Channels;
then, press the SEL key.
3. Enter your Parental Control Blocking PIN, if
required.
4. Press the UP or DOWN arrow keys to highlight
each channel you want to block.
5. Press the SEL key.
Result: The channel ID is listed in the column on
the right and a padlock appears in the Channels
list by each channel you select.
Note: You can press the SEL key again to unblock
the channel.
6. Continue highlighting and selecting the channels
you want to block.
7. When all channels that you want to block have a
padlock shown, press the Akey to accept.
8. Press the EXIT key to return to watching TV.
Note: Blocks do not take effect until you turn on
the Parental Control feature. For details on how to
turn on and turn off the Parental Control feature,
visit optimum.com/parentalcontrol.
Important Note Regarding the
HDMI Interface
The High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) is
an all-digital audio and video interface. HDMI
provides a digital interface between any audio and
video source. HDMI supports standard, enhanced
or high-definition video, plus digital audio.
Some HDTVs do not contain circuitry to decode
Dolby®Digital formatted content. If you connect
your DVR for iO TV to an HDTV that cannot
support Dolby Digital audio, the DVR for iO TV
automatically switches its audio outputs to
2-channel PCM audio (to be compatible with the
HDTV). In this case, all digital audio outputs on the
DVR for iO TV are formatted as 2-channel PCM. As
a result, you will not be able to receive Dolby Digital
or DTS audio on your home theater system when
connected to either the optical or coax (RCA
Connector) S/PDIF ports. You can avoid this by
overriding the automatic configuration through the
DVR for iO TV General Settings menu and
switching the audio output to Dolby Digital.
Important: If your HDTV cannot decode Dolby
Digital formatted content and you have configured
the DVR to output in the Dolby Digital format, you
will not be able to listen to audio through the TV.
Instead, you must use your home theater or your
Dolby Digital decoding device in order to hear
audio. Alternatively, you can reconfigure the DVR
for iO TV to output 2-channel PCM any time you
want to use the TV to produce the audio portion of
the content by selecting HDMI in the General
Settings - Audio Output screen. Depending upon
your equipment capabilities to select alternate audio
sources for input, other configurations may be
possible. Refer to your equipment user’s guides for
more information.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
28
How far back can I rewind live TV? The length of time you can rewind live TV depends on how
long you have been tuned to a single channel. Each time you change channels, a new copy is
automatically stored to the built-in recorder. This copy saves up to the last 1 hour of
programming. For example, if you have been watching the same channel for 15 minutes, you
can rewind that 15 minutes of the program on the channel you have been watching.
Can I record the quarter screen in the Channel Guide or the DVR for iO TV Recorded List?
Yes, you can record the quarter screen on all DVR for iO TV screens by pressing Record. You
can also record the quarter screen in the Channel Guide. Press Exit to display the video in full
screen, and then press Record.
Note: Pressing Record while in the Channel Guide will record the highlighted program in the grid.
Can I record or pause the video in the PIP screen? Yes, but you must swap it to the Main
screen first. After pressing Record and confirming the recording, you can swap it back to the PIP
screen and it will continue recording. You can also press PIP On-Off, and the video will continue
to record.
Can I use PIP while copying a program to my VCR? When copying a program to a VCR, the
PIP can be used only to monitor the progress of the copy status. You cannot use PIP to watch
another program while copying a program to a VCR.
If I’ve been tuned to a program since it started, do I have to rewind to the beginning to
record the entire program? No, if you have been tuned to the program since its beginning, just
press Record from any point in the program to record the entire program. The DVR for iO TV
will automatically rewind and record up to 1 hour of the previous programming. Recording will
automatically stop when the program ends.
How will I know the DVR for iO TV is almost out of recording space? When you try to
schedule the next recording, a warning appears on the Confirm Recording screen. Also, you can
see what percentage of recording space you have used. Press DVR and then press Bfor
preferences.
What happens if my DVR for iO TV loses power temporarily? Everything you have recorded
is saved, based on the save time you selected in the Confirm Recording screen. Your scheduled
recordings during the time the DVR for iO TV lost power are the only recordings you may miss;
recording will automatically resume when power comes back on.
Do my Parental Controls in the Channel Guide carry over to DVR for iO TV recordings?
Yes. If you block programs by channel or rating in General Settings menu, those settings are
carried over to DVR for iO TV recordings. For example, if you decide to block all R-rated
programs in the General Settings menu, the R-rated programs will still be recorded, but you
cannot play them back until you enter the correct PIN.
How do I block or erase individual recordings in my recorded list or change the save time
for the recording? Highlight the recording on the Recorded List screen, and press SEL on the
remote control. An Options screen appears for the program you selected.
Why are all my programs displayed in 1080i format (HD Only)? You may have selected the
Easy Setup mode and the wide screen (16:9) TV setting in the HDTV Setup Wizard. Choosing
these two settings together limits your programming to 1080i format, even on non-HD channels.
To see your non-HD programs in 480i on a wide screen (16:9) HDTV, use the Advanced Setup in
the HDTV Setup Wizard. Make sure that you select 480i as one of your saved formats, and then
select Pass-Through in General Settings: Picture Format for your default picture format.
