The servicing instructions in this notice are for use by qualified service personnel only. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not perform any servicing other than that contained in the operating instructions, unless you are qualified to do so.

Note to System Installer

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For this apparatus, the coaxial cable shield/screen shall be

 

 

 

 

 

 

grounded as close as practical to the point of entry of the cable

 

 

 

 

 

 

into the building. For products sold in the US and Canada, this

 

 

 

 

 

 

reminder is provided to call the system installer's attention to

 

 

 

 

 

 

Article 820-93 and Article 820-100 of the NEC (or Canadian

 

 

 

 

 

 

Electrical Code Part 1), which provides guidelines for proper

 

 

 

 

 

 

grounding of the coaxial cable shield.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not

 

 

remove cover (or back). No user-serviceable parts

 

 

inside. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.

If you are uncertain of the type of power supply to your home or business, consult your service provider or your local power company.

The AC inlet on the unit must remain accessible and operable at all times.

Ground the Product

WARNING: Avoid electric shock and fire hazard! If this product connects to coaxial cable wiring, be sure the cable system is grounded (earthed). Grounding provides some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges.

WARNING: Avoid electric shock and fire hazard! Do not locate an outside antenna system in the vicinity of overhead power lines or power circuits. Touching power lines or circuits might be fatal.

This product may contain a tuner capable of receiving off-the-air broadcasts.

Protect the Product from Lightning

In addition to disconnecting the AC power from the wall outlet, disconnect the signal inputs.

Verify the Power Source from the On/Off Power Light

When the on/off power light is not illuminated, the apparatus may still be connected to the power source. The light may go out when the apparatus is turned off, regardless of whether it is still plugged into an AC power source.

Eliminate AC Mains Overloads

WARNING: Avoid electric shock and fire hazard! Do not overload AC mains, outlets,

Handling Disposable Batteries

This product may contain disposable batteries. Heed the following warning and follow the Battery Safety and Battery Disposal instructions below.

WARNING: There is danger of explosion if the battery is mishandled or incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same type of battery. Do not disassemble it or attempt to recharge it outside the system. Do not crush, puncture, dispose of in fire, short the external contacts, or expose to water or other liquids. Dispose of the battery in accordance with local regulations and instructions from your service provider.

Battery Safety

Insert batteries correctly. There may be a risk of explosion if the batteries are incorrectly inserted.

Do not attempt to recharge ‘disposable’ or ‘non- reusable’ batteries.

Please follow instructions provided for charging ‘rechargeable’ batteries.

The batteries may contain substances that could be harmful to the environment.

Recycle or dispose of batteries in accordance with the battery manufacturer’s instructions and local/national disposal and recycling regulations.

The batteries may contain perchlorate, a known hazardous substance, so special handling and disposal of this product might be necessary. For more information about perchlorate and best management practices for perchlorate- containing substance, see www.dtsc.ca.gov/ hazardouswaste/perchlorate

Do not install this apparatus in an enclosure, such as a bookcase or rack, unless the installation provides proper ventilation.

Do not place entertainment devices (such as VCRs or DVDs), lamps, books, vases with liquids, or other objects on top of this product.

Do not block ventilation openings.

Protect from Exposure to Moisture and Foreign Objects

WARNING: Avoid electric shock and fire hazard! Do not expose this product to dripping or splashing liquids, rain, or moisture. Objects filled with liquids, such as vases, should not be placed on this apparatus.

WARNING: Avoid electric shock and fire hazard! Unplug this product before cleaning. Do not use a liquid cleaner or an aerosol cleaner. Do not use a magnetic/static cleaning device (dust remover) to clean this product.

WARNING: Avoid electric shock and fire hazard! Never push objects through the openings in this product. Foreign objects can cause electrical shorts that can result in electric shock or fire.

Service Warnings

DVR Functions

Understanding the Live TV Buffer and Recordings

The Live TV Buffer allows you to control live TV and DVR recording while you are watching live TV. This DVR buffer stores 60 minutes of content from the channel you are watching.

Live Point

of Recording

“Play”

Indicates your

 

Status Bar

current position

T14781

We will use two examples to show how the Live TV Buffer works. For both examples, we will assume that a football match on a sports channel starts at 3:00 PM and ends at 4:30 PM.

Example 1: You tune to the sports channel at 2:45 PM (15 minutes before the football match starts). You decide to start recording the football match between 3:00 PM and 3:45 PM, so you press the RECORD button on your remote and then you select the option to record until the end of the program.

Thanks to the Live TV Buffer, vou will record the entire football match to your DVR because the Live TV buffer contains the program from the time it started at 3:00 PM.

Example 2: You tune to the sports channel at 3:05 PM and decide to start recording some time after 3:05 PM and before 4:05 PM. In this case, you will not record the first 5 minutes of the football match because you did not turn to the channel earlier.

Notes:

1.Schedule DVR recordings or use the Manual recording option to make sure that you record your favorite events.

2.The time that you start a recording is vital; it is not the 1 hour buffer that completely gets recorded. Two things matter most when recording a program to your DVR: the program time and the time at which you start a recording.

3.You can record two programs at the same time or you can record a program while watching another one.

Controlling Live TV and Recordings

1.Press the PAUSE button to pause live TV or a recording.

2.Press the PLAY button to resume playing live TV or a recording.

3.Press the REWIND or FAST FORWARD buttons continually for different speed options.

4.Press the LIVE button to catch up to live TV.

5.Press the PAUSE button and then press the FORWARD or REWIND keys to activate slow motion while watching live TV. To resume normal play, press the PLAY button again.

6.Press the INSTANT REPLAY button to see the last 7 seconds of live TV or recording.
