Getting connected

This chapter details connecting the set-top box to your TV and other home media equipment.

Before connecting

Before installing, the media center installation environment must meet the following physical requirements:

!If you have a multi-room media center and Moxi Mate, and are moving either from their original installation room, a professional cable installer must make a service call to configure your home’s coaxial cable network. If you have not already installed the low-pass filter reflector, do it now. See Installing a low-pass filter reflector on page 15.

Locate the media center within six feet of a power outlet (do not use an extension cord).

Use a surge protector to isolate the media center from power surges.

Make sure the infrared receiver on the media center and the remote are free from obstructions, such as furniture and doors.

Ventilation requirements

To prevent overheating, allow adequate ventilation and airflow around the media center. The media center requires at least a two-inch (5 cm) clearance on top and all sides with airflow to the or rear.
