Connecting a remote “eye” (IR receiver)
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.
1. Select a location for the remote eye. This will typically be on the top or side of the TV, but could 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.
2. Make sure that you can conveniently route the cable. The cable on the remote eye is approximately 10
feet long, so make sure that the location you have chosen is within 10 feet of the IR RECEIVE connector
on the set-top’s rear panel.
3. Make sure the area where you will attach it is clean and dry.
4. A small adhesive patch is supplied with the remote eye. Remove the paper from one side of the patch and
stick the patch to the back (larger, flat side) of the remote eye.
5. Remove the paper from the other side of the adhesive patch and stick the remote eye at the 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.
6. Insert the 3.5 mm connector plug on the other end of the remote eye’s cable into the socket labeled
“IR RECEIVE” on the rear panel of the set-top.

CONNECTING THE EQUIPMENT (cont.)
Choosing the best setup
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.
Onthefollowingpagesarediagramsthatshowyouhowtoconnecttypicalequipment(HDTV,VCR/DVD
recorder, and home theater receiver) to the set-top. The connected items are shown individually and then in
combination (see the tables below). 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.
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 OPTICAL AUDIO OUT connector (as shown in the diagrams).

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.
WARNINGS
Do not connect the set-top (or
any other equipment such as a TV
or VCR) to the power supply until
you have properly connected all the
other cables.
Disconnect the set-top’s power
supply unit 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 power supply unit
from the wall AC outlet (or switch
the wall AC outlet switch, if present,
to its OFF position). The set-top
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.
NOTE
Copy protection via an HDMI
secure link
The HDMI link between the set-
top and the HDTV should be a
secure link. When the set-top is
attached via an HDMI 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:
Your HDTV does not support HDCP.
Please use the YPbPr component
connection to watch TV.
The HDMI output is then disabled,
so no picture is transmitted from
this connector. In that case, use
the component video connectors to
connect up.

CONNECTING THE EQUIPMENT (cont.)
WARNINGS
Do not connect the set-top (or any other equipment such as a TV or VCR) to the power supply until you
have properly connected all the other cables.
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plugs on power cords. A polarized plug has two blades
with one wider than the other. This plug fits into the wall AC outlet in only one way; match the wide blade
of the plug to the wide slot of the outlet.
Connecting the power supply unit to the set-top
Plug the 5-volt cord from the power supply unit into the power input socket (labelled DC IN +5V) on the rear
panel of your RNG110, then plug the power supply unit into the wall AC outlet using the power cord supplied.
Connecting equipment to the wall AC outlets
Connect the set-top’s power supply unit, and the polarized plugs on the power cords from the TV, VCR, and
any other equipment, into wall AC outlets. If these outlets have switches, switch them ON.
Lightning storms
Disconnect the set-top from the power supply during lightning storms. A lightning storm may affect the
set-top, if it is on during the storm. It may appear that it has stopped working, but you can easily restore its
operation as follows:
Unplug the set-top’s power supply unit from the wall AC outlet. Then plug this power supply unit in again at
the wall AC outlet (and, if there is a switch by this outlet, switch it to its ON position).

OPERATING THE SET-TOP
Turning the set-top on and off
After you have connected the set-top’s power supply unit to the wall AC outlet (and switched this outlet ON, if it
has a switch), press the POWER button on the remote control to turn the set-top on (making sure the remote
control is set to control the set-top). The POWER light on the set-top’s front panel should light up green, to
show that the set-top is on.
To turn the set-top on or off at any time, press the POWER button on the remote control.
Never turn off the set-top by simply disconnecting it from the power supply. If you need to disconnect the
set-top, turn off the set-top by pressing the POWER button on the remote control, so that the POWER light is
switched off. Then wait a few seconds before disconnecting the power supply unit from the wall AC outlet.
Power Saving: To save power and money, and to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, turn off
the set-top, using the POWER button on the remote control, when it is not in use.
Using the remote control
Your cable TV service-provider determines the digital channels, services, and screen information that you see
on your TV when you use the set-top and its remote control.
Consult the information supplied by your cable service-provider for details on how to make the most of the
digital cable services. Also read the operating instructions that are supplied with your remote control.
NOTES
IMPORTANT: Unless there is a
lightning storm or the set-top’s
users are away from their home
for a long time, do not unplug the
set-top’s power supply unit at the
wall AC outlet (or do not switch it
off there, if the outlet has a switch).
The set-top cannot be updated with
new features, through the cable, if
it is disconnected from the power
supply.

Displaying a picture on the HDTV screen
If the set-top is connected to the HDTV’s component video or HDMI input and is turned on (the POWER
light is green), but the HDTV does not initially display a picture from the set-top, the HDTV may not support
the set-top’s current output resolution (for further details on resolutions, see page 20). You therefore need to
change the set-top’s output resolution as follows:
1. First press the POWER button on the remote control (POWER light goes off), then press the MENU
button.
2. Next, press the ZOOM button on the remote control (the button could be labeled ASPECT) until a picture
appears.
Each button-press changes the set-top’s output resolution, which also appears on the TV screen.
After a few seconds, you should see the PACE USER SETTINGS menu.
3. Press the POWER button to remove this menu and return to normal viewing.
Setting up subtitles
Subtitles in various languages may be transmitted with TV programs. You can set up the set-top to display
subtitles, when they are available. You can also set the preferred language for these subtitles. There is a choice of
several languages, including English.
If you set subtitles to be “on”, they will be displayed in the preferred language only when subtitles in that language
are transmitted with a program. For example, if you set subtitles to be “on” and in Spanish, but only French
subtitles are transmitted with a particular program, you will see French subtitles for that program, not Spanish.
You can also turn on closed captions (see page 22) to give subtitles, but any subtitles you set up using this PACE
SUBTITLE SETTINGS menu will take priority.
Selecting subtitles in the preferred language
1. Make sure that the set-top is turned on (the POWER light is green).
2. Press the POWER button on the remote control (POWER light goes off), then press the INFO button.
The PACE SUBTITLE SETTINGS menu appears on the TV screen (see right).
3. Press Uor Dto highlight “Subtitles”, then press OK/Select to turn them on or off.
4. Press Uor Dto highlight “Subtitle Language”, then use the OK/Select button to choose the language you
want (the language changes each time you press OK/Select).
5. When you have finished making changes, press the POWER button to remove the PACE SUBTITLE
SETTINGS menu and return to normal viewing.

MAKING USER SETTINGS
About User Settings
You need to make the correct settings so that the set-top is compatible with the HDTV or TV. However, you may
wish to change some settings, for example if you purchase a new HDTV. You can make the following settings
and you can also reset them to the factory defaults.
• TVAspectRatio(thescreen’swidth-to-heightratio,orshape)

About TV Display Capability (resolution settings)
• The set-top can transmit pictures to the TV in a range of resolutions (also called “Display Capabilities” - see
below for the settings available). Generally, higher screen resolutions give better quality pictures. However, the
quality always depends on how the program was originally transmitted.
• Different TVs display different screen resolutions. For example, standard TVs display “480i”, EDTVs
(Enhanced Definition TVs) display “480p”, and most HDTVs display “1080p”, “1080i” or “720p”. Many HDTVs
will display at more than one resolution. For more information, see the information supplied with the HDTV.
You must make the appropriate TV Display Capability settings on the set-top, so that it is compatible with the
TV. See below for full instructions.
In order to display the best picture every time, you must select every resolution that the TV is capable of
displaying. This ensures that programs are displayed with minimum distortion.
There is a blue HD light on the set-top’s front panel that lights when the set-top is receiving high-definition
content.
TV Display Capability settings
• 480i is standard definition NTSC and is transmitted
in a 4:3 aspect ratio (see right).
• 480p is enhanced digital TV and can be transmitted
in either a 4:3 or 16:9 aspect ratio.
• 720p,1080i, and 1080p are HDTV and are
transmitted in a 16:9 aspect ratio (see right).
480i transmission:
The aspect ratio is 4:3
1080i transmission:
The aspect ratio is 16:9
NOTE
When the HDTV is connected to
the set-top via an HDMI connector,
the set-top gets information from
the HDTV about the HDTV’s display
capability. The set-top uses this
information to adjust its TV Display
Capability settings.
The set-top also records the HDTV’s
ID (identification), so that only one
HDTV is supported at any one time.
When the HDTV has updated the set-
top’s TV Display Capability settings,
you may change them if you wish.
The changes will then be stored with
the ID.
You can restore the set-top’s TV
Display Capability settings to their
factory values, as described on page
24. You can also restore the set-top to
the settings that the HDTV has passed
to the set-top. To do this you must
first restore the factory settings while
the HDMI cable is disconnected from
the set-top, then reconnect the HDTV
via the HDMI cable.
MAKING USER SETTINGS (cont.)
Changing the TV Display Capability
If you have not already done so, put the set-top into User Settings mode, as described on page 19.
1. Press the Uor Dbutton on the remote control and highlight TV Display Capability on the PACE USER
SETTINGS menu.
2. Press the Rbutton.
The TV Display Capability menu appears on the TV screen. The available resolutions are: 1080p24*,
1080p30*, 1080i, 720p, 480p, and 480i.
TV Display Capability
1080i : YES
720p : NO
480p : YES
480i : YES
1080p24 Pass : NO
1080p30 Pass : NO
* NOTE
If the HDTV is 1080p-compliant and
connected by HDMI, setting “1080p24
Pass” to YES causes 1080p/24
transmissions (at 24 frames per
second) to be displayed at 1080p/24.
Likewise, setting “1080p30 Pass” to
YES causes 1080p/30 transmissions
(at 30 frames per second) to be
displayed at 1080p/30.
The HDMI-connected HDTV may
report that it is not 1080p-compliant
and set “1080p24 Pass” (or “1080p30
Pass”) to NO. In this case 1080p
transmissions will be output at one
of the other resolutions (1080i, 720p,
480p or 480i). If you override this
NO setting and set YES, you may see
nothing for 1080p transmissions.
If the HDTV is not connected by HDMI,
“HDMI Cable Required” is displayed
and you cannot set “1080p24 Pass” or
“1080p30 Pass” to either YES or NO.
Transmissions at 480i, 480p, 720p or
1080i can never be output at 1080p.
3. Press the Uor Dbutton to highlight each resolution in turn and, for each one, press the OK/Select
button if you wish to change the setting (the setting changes between “YES” and “NO” each time you press
OK/Select).
If, at any stage in this process, the menu disappears from the screen, immediately press
the OK/Select button to restore the menu.
4. When you are satisfied that all the TV resolutions are correct, press the Lbutton. The PACE USER
SETTINGS menu reappears.
