You may need to install the set-top in an equipment closet with closed non-transparent doors
or some other location where the remote-control sensor (IR-receive window) on the set-top’s
front panel is blocked from view (for example, if the TV is wall-mounted). In that case, you need
to connect a remote “eye” (IR receiver) to the set-top’s rear panel.The IR signals from the remote
control can be received by the remote eye and they then reach the set-top through the remote
eye’s cable.The remote eye is not supplied with the set-top.
Select a location for the remote eye.This will typically be on the top or side of the TV, but could1.
be in a different, but convenient, location. Make sure that it is in a position where there is a clear
path between the remote control and the remote eye.
Make sure that you can conveniently route the cable.The cable on the remote eye is2.
approximately 10 feet long, so make sure that the location you have chosen is within 10 feet of
the IR RECEIVE jack on the set-top’s rear panel.
Make sure the area where you will attach it is clean and dry.3.
A small adhesive patch is supplied with the remote eye. Remove the paper from one side of the4.
patch and stick the patch to the back (larger, flat side) of the remote eye.
Remove the paper from the other side of the adhesive patch and stick the remote eye at the5.
position you want. Make sure that the window at the curved end of the remote eye points
towards the position from which the remote control will be operated.
Insert the 3.5 mm jack plug on the other end of the remote eye’s cable into the socket labeled6.

CONNECTING THE EQUIPMENT
In order for you to view programs broadcast in high-definition, the set-top must be
connected to a suitable HDTV or computer monitor.The set-top is also compatible
with standard-definition TVs and VCRs.
On the following pages are diagrams that show you how to connect typical
equipment (HDTV,VCR, DVD player and home theater receiver) to the set-top.The
connected items are shown individually and then in combination (see the tables on
page 15). Some of the connections may change when extra equipment is added. For
example, when a you add a home theater receiver, some cables that previously went
to the TV can, instead, go to the home theater receiver.
These setups make efficient use of the connectors on the set-top. However,
depending on the other equipment and the connectors on it, you may choose to
connect things differently.
These setups allow stereo recording and play-back of video tapes.You hear stereo
sound from the home theater’s loudspeakers.
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 the TV (and VCR) to the set-top’sVHF output channel (3 or
4: consult the cable service-provider to find which channel it is for the location).
Consult the manuals supplied with the TV and VCR for information on how to tune.
You can take advantage of the digital audio output from the set-top by connecting a
suitable cable between the home theater receiver and the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT
OPTICAL jack.
WARNINGS
Do not connect the set-top (or any other
equipment such as a TV or VCR) to the AC power
supply until you have properly connected all the
other cables.
Disconnect the set-top from the AC power supply
before you disconnect any other equipment from
its rear panel.
The only way to disconnect the set-top from the
AC power supply is to remove the AC power
cord (or switch the wall socket-outlet switch, if
present, to its OFF position).The set-top must
therefore be installed near to the AC power
socket-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 aVCR, to this input.

NOTE
Copy protection via an
HDMITM secure link
The HDMITM link between the
set-top and the HDTV should
be a secure link.When the set-
top is attached via an HDMITM
cable to an HDCP-compliant
(High-bandwidth Digital Content
Protection) HDTV, the HDTV
and set-top negotiate a secure
link, which allows the set-top
to transmit full resolution video
(picture) to the HDTV.
Not all HDTVs support HDCP.
If the set-top is connected to an
HDTV that does not support it,
the following may be displayed:
The HDTV does not support HDCP.
Please use theYPbPr component
connection to watch TV.
The HDMITM output is then disabled,
so no picture is transmitted from
this connector. In that case use the
component video connectors to
connect up (see Setups G, H and I).
NOTES
How you set up the equipment may depend on the home theater receiver. For example, the optical and
digital audio inputs may be associated with particular video inputs. Please see the home theater user
information for further details.
