• If your TV has an HDMI input, this is for both audio and video. Connect an
HDMI cable to the TV and to the HDMI connector on your QIP receiver.
• HDMI and IEEE-1394 outputs provide video and audio, so no separate audio
connections are required if you plan to use your TV’s speakers as the primary
audio source.
• If your TV has a DVI input, connect a DVI-to-HDMI adapter or cable to the
HDMI out connector on the QIP receiver and the
DVI-HDTV connector on your
TV.
DVI does not provide audio. A separate audio connection must be made.
• Component video (YPbPr) — HDTV and SDTV
The YPbPr connectors on your QIP receiver provide HDTV and SDTV
component video.
• S-Video — SDTV
If a component video input is not available on your TV, use the S-Video
connection.
• Video (also referred to as composite video) — SDTV
If an S-Video input is not available on your TV, use the composite video
(video) connection.
• RF Output — SDTV
If no other input is available on your TV, the RF Output of the QIP7100 Series
can be connected to the Antenna or Cable Input on your TV. The RF Output
carries both video and audio. Set your TV to channel 3 or 4.

7 TROUBLESHOOTING
Before calling your service provider, review this troubleshooting guide. This
information is to help you quickly solve a problem. If your problem still exists,
contact your service provider.
Problem Possible Solution
The QIP receiver will
not power on
The remote control
does not work
There is no audio when
viewing channels
There is no audio from
the center and/or
surround speakers of a
home theater receiver
connected to the QIP
receiver
The QIP receiver may have received a software update and may not power on while
the new software is being installed. Try again in a few minutes.
• Verify that the AC power cord is connected to the QIP receiver and an AC
outlet. Unplug the QIP receiver from the AC outlet, plug it back in, and then
press the POWER button.
• If the QIP receiver is connected to a switched outlet on another unit, verify
that that unit is powered on. Unplug the power cord from the QIP receiver’s
AC outlet, plug it back it in, and then press the POWER button. It is
recommended that you use an unswitched outlet, if possible.
• Press the POWER button on the QIP receiver front panel instead of the
remote control. The batteries in the remote control may be depleted.
• Verify that the remote control is in “set-top” mode.
• Verify that there are no obstructions between the remote control and the QIP
receiver. Aim the remote control directly at the QIP receiver front panel, not
the TV or VCR.
The angle between the remote control and the QIP receiver may be too large. Stand
in front of the QIP receiver and not too far to either side.
• Press and release operation keys one at a time, firmly and deliberately.
• Try changing channels using the buttons on the QIP receiver front panel.
• Check the batteries in the remote control. Install new batteries if needed.
• Verify that the mute button on the QIP receiver or the remote control has not
been pressed. Press mute on the remote control to restore sound.
• If the QIP receiver audio output is connected to the TV, verify that the mute
button on the TV has not been pressed.
• If the QIP receiver audio output is connected to a home theater receiver,
verify that the receiver is set to the appropriate input source and the mute
button on the receiver has not been pressed.
• Verify that you have the correct cables for the audio connections.
• Verify that the audio cables are firmly connected between the QIP receiver
and the audio playback device (TV, receiver, DVD player, etc.).
®
Not all Dolby Digital
programs may only contain left and right stereo audio.
• Verify that the S/PDIF cable (coaxial or optical) is firmly connected to the QIP
receiver and the home theater receiver.
• Verify that the home theater receiver is set to a surround sound audio mode
(Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic II
• Verify that the receiver is properly configured to work with all connected

• Verify that the TV is powered on and set to the appropriate input source for
the QIP receiver.
• Verify that the QIP receiver is powered on and tuned to an authorized cable
channel.
• Verify that all video cables between the QIP receiver and the TV are firmly
connected.
• Verify that the coaxial cable feed is firmly connected to the QIP receiver and
the wall jack.
• If the QIP receiver video output is connected to a home theater unit, verify
that the home theater unit is powered on and set to the appropriate input
source.
• If the QIP receiver video output is connected to a TV through an HDMI
connection, power off the TV and then power off the QIP receiver. Wait one
second and then power on the devices.
Not all HDTVs can display every output format (1080i, 720p, 480p, or 480i) available
on the QIP receiver. To select a different format:
1. Ensure that your QIP receiver is plugged into a power outlet and is turned off.
2. Press the MENU key on the front panel. Your settings are displayed on the
QIP receiver front panel display.
3. Press the ▲ and ▼ keys to display the HDMI/YPbPr OUTPUT setting.
4. Press the ► key to cycle through the available output formats until a picture
displays on the TV.
If you use the IEEE-1394 connection, on-screen graphics, including closed captions
and program guides, are not displayed by the QIP receiver. On-screen graphics and
captions may still be overlaid by your TV, if enabled. Alternatively, use HDMI or
component video instead.
• Verify on the User Settings menu that closed captions are enabled on the
QIP receiver.
• Verify that closed captions are enabled on the TV.
Note: Closed captioning may not be available on the current program.
Widescreen TVs display 4:3 programs in this format unless set to Stretch. Turn on the
4:3 OVERRIDE feature in the User Settings menu. This enables most widescreen TVs
to stretch the video to fill the screen (see your TV manual for information about
stretching 4:3 video).
• If the QIP7100 Series is connected to a widescreen TV, verify that the TV
TYPE is set to 16:9 in the User Settings menu.
Many HD programs are broadcast in pillar-box format with black bars to the left and
right of the picture. These programs are broadcast in 16:9 HD formats even though
the video is not 16:9.
All 4:3 HDTVs display HD programs in letterbox format (black bars above and below
the picture) because of the shape of the display screen.
• Turn on the 4:3 OVERRIDE feature in the User Settings menu. This enables
most standard screen TVs to display a full screen picture when the QIP7100
Series is tuned to a 4:3 program.
• Set the TV TYPE to 4:3 Pan-Scan. This enables the QIP7100 Series to
remove the black bars above and below the picture when possible.
Some SD programs are broadcast in the letterbox format with black bars above and
below the picture. Some widescreen TVs offer a zoom feature that may be able to
remove the black bars (see your TV manual for information about zooming 4:3 video).

7 TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem Possible Solution
There are black bars on
all four sides of the
picture
Colors do not appear
correctly
This may occur on a 4:3 TV if the 4:3 OVERRIDE setting is OFF. To set 4:3 SD
programming to fill the screen, depending on the capabilities of the TV, set
4:3 OVERRIDE to 480i or 480p.
This may occur on a 16:9 TV if the active video for an SD broadcast is in letterbox
format. To confirm, wait for a commercial or look for a graphic, such as a network
logo. If the commercial fills the screen from top to bottom, or the graphic appears
below the active video, the program is being letterboxed by the broadcaster. You can
minimize this by activating the zoom feature on the TV.
A broadcaster may include black bars on either side of a widescreen broadcast. This is
called a “hybrid” aspect ratio and results in a black border surrounding the video on a
4:3 TV. Because this is part of the broadcast, the QIP7100 Series cannot correct the
video. You may be able to minimize the border using the zoom feature on the TV.
Be sure to match up each signal to the same YPbPr connection on the TV; otherwise,
the colors will not appear correctly on your TV.
