Connecting to an HDTV with Component Input (YPbPr)

Use the connection diagram and follow these steps to connect the set-top to an HDTV that has a component video connector (YPbPr) and an audio left/right connector.

1.Insert the M-Card module if not already installed.2.Connect the set-top to the coaxial cable coming from the wall.

3.Connect the Y (green) connector on the HDTV to the Y (green) connector on the set-top; connect the Pb (blue) connector on the HDTV to the Pb (blue) connector on the set-top; and connect the Pr (red) connector on the HDTV to the Pr (red) connector on the set-top.

4.Connect the left audio (white) connector on the HDTV to the left audio (white) connector on the set-top, and connect the right audio (red) connector on the HDTV to the right audio (red) connector on the set-top.

5.Plug the set-top and the HDTV into an AC power source.

Important: To potentially protect the set-top from power surge damage, ground (earth) your cable product to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. You may be able to reduce the risk of damage from voltage surges, which can be caused by lightning storms and power outages, by plugging the set-top into a surge protector.

6.Wait several minutes for the set-top to receive the latest software, programming, and service information. When you see one of the following displays on the front panel of the set-top, that indicates that the update is complete:

• Current time • Four dashes (----)

Note: If four dashes are displayed, you must call your service provider to get the set-top authorized.

7. To begin watching TV, turn on the HDTV and press Power on the front panel of the set-top, or press Power on the remote control.
