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. One of the following will display

on the front panel of the set-top:

• Current time • Four dashes (----)

Note: • If the current time displays, the update is complete.

• If four dashes display, 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.
