connecting the set-top.

proper ports on each device.
• Make note of the video input on the

know this port when you use the
Setup Wizard, later in this guide.

AC power source, but do not turn on
your set-top or HDTV yet.

4. Contact your cable service provider and
ask them to turn on cable services for
your set-top. Be prepared to give them
the serial number from the back panel
of your set-top. You should have
written this number down on page 7 of
this guide.
Note: If you do not contact your cable
service provider, your set-top will not
be able to receive some or all of the
available services.
5. Wait for the front of your set-top to
display one of the following:
• Current time
• Four dashes (- - - -)
Important: It may take several minutes
for the set-top to receive the latest
software, programming, and service
information. When the front panel
displays the time or four dashes, the
update is complete.
6. After the update is complete, press
POWER to turn on your set-top.
7. Turn on the power to your HDTV.
8. Your next step is to use the Setup
Wizard to select your picture size and
