To turn your TV on or off, press the TV button then the POWER button. To turn your set top box on or off, press the STB button and then the POWER button. If pressing POWER turned the wrong device on or off, press the POWER button again, press the appropriate device selection button (TV, STB, DVD or AUX) and press POWER once more. Note: It is not necessary to turn your set top box off when the TV is off. The STB is a standby mode (a lower power consumption). Note: Your remote control must have the remote code programmed in before it can send the correct signals for your TV. If the list of TV brand codes was not included in your installation pack, please contact customer service. Change Channels The CH+/- button will change channels up or down one at a time. The Number Pad can be used to directly enter a channel number. GUIDE will display the Interactive Program Guide so you can find a program you like. If the program is on now, you can tune to the channel showing it. If not, you can set a scheduled event to remind you when it does come on. For more information on how to use the Guide, see section 5 Guide. For more information on setting Reminders, Autotunes and Recordings, see Setting a Reminder, Autotune or Recording in section 6 Guide - Alerts & Recordings. Adjust Volume The VOL+/- button will adjust the volume gradually. The MUTE button will toggle the sound on and off. 2 1 Remote Control Basics System Buttons There are a number of buttons on your remote that display different features of your service. MENU displays the Menubar when in cable [STB] mode, and in [TV] mode you will see your TV’s menu. The Menubar provides quick access to every feature supported by your service. For more information about the Menubar, see section 4 Menubar. INFO displays the Infobar, a feature that lets you see information on what you’re watching, what’s coming on next, and what’s on other channels. For more information on the Infobar, see section 3 Infobar. EXIT causes your set top box to exit whatever screen you are seeing and return you to normal TV viewing. If you ever get lost on a screen, it is always safe to press EXIT and then start over. 3 2 How To Use This Book Layout Instructions are paired with screen shots to illustrate the process and provide confirmation of what you should see on your TV. Section headings and on-screen text, such as screen titles, messages and options are shown in Blue Bold Type. Buttons on the remote control are represented by a graphic of that button, or Red Bold Type when a graphic cannot be shown. Color-Codes & Icons Program listings may display icons based on settings for a particular program. Program Attributes New Episode (not a re-run) Program in High Definition Autotune Reminder Record* Series-Record* Series Record Episode Skipped* Closed Captioned Dolby Digital Audio Favorite Alert Symbol Lock Program Live TV Whole Home DVR *Record and Series Record only appear if your set top box supports recording. All menubar icons and explanations are in 4 Menubar. Note: Your service provider uses the “0” default PIN code for customers.
