Congratulations!
Get ready to experience an entirely new level of entertainment. Moxi takes your television beyond
everyday TV programming and teaches it some entirely new tricks. The Moxi Service lets you watch
your favorite shows on your schedule. Plus, it offers many great opportunities to make your viewing
experience much more enjoyable.
With the 2-TV Media Center plus the Moxi Mate, you can enjoy full access to all the exciting features
described here, and to all recorded content, anywhere in your home!
If your version of Moxi does not include all the features described in this guide, call your cable
company to find out how to add them.
Digital Video Recording (DVR)
Moxi DVR lets you pause, rewind, and fast-forward through live shows—including high definition
programming—just as you do recorded shows. You can also find, record, and store your favorite
movies and shows digitally, and then watch them whenever you want. You no longer need piles of
tapes or complicated VCRs.
Moxi Menu
The Moxi Menu provides a fast and easy way to view all your entertainment options. You can find the
shows you want by title, category, actor, or channel. Use the menu to quickly see what’s on now, and
scroll through On Next to see what’s coming up. The Moxi Menu makes it easy to configure parental
controls, channel lists, and more.
Ticker
Moxi Ticker gives you one-click access to the latest weather, sports, news, and stocks without
changing the channel. The Moxi Ticker scrolls below the TV picture, so it doesn’t interfere with your
show. And with one click, you can see the story behind the headline.
Photos
Moxi lets you store your digital photos and display them on your TV. If you have the 2-TV Media Center
plus Moxi Mate, your family can enjoy your slideshows on both TVs.
Media Player
With Moxi’s Media Player, you can enjoy all DVD functions with the same Moxi remote control and
Moxi Menu you use for TV. Plus, you can cut down on living room clutter by having one less box to
stack and one less remote to lose.
Games
Try your hand at a selection of fun and challenging interactive games on your TV. Moxi tests your skill
and memory with a collection of strategy and casino games that are easy to learn and hard to walk
away from.

gratulations!

Moxi Menu
Introducing the Moxi Menu
The Moxi Menu puts all your entertainment options into horizontal and vertical bands that loop
around so you never get lost. The horizontal band contains the main categories of Channels (live TV)

arrow buttons on the Moxi remote to scroll through the categories. When a category rests in center
focus (the central, highlighted area), a vertical band appears containing all the choices for
that category.

TV or both simultaneously.

Digital Video Recorder
Getting to Know the Digital Video Recorder (DVR)
Moxi makes it more enjoyable to watch live or recorded TV. Using the Moxi remote, you can pause,
rewind, fast-forward, and replay the action. You can also record and store up to 50 hours of programs.
You can record two shows at the same time or record one show while you watch another.
With the 2-TV Media Center and Moxi Mate, you can do even more. You can record a show on one TV
and watch it on another. Or, you can watch and record two different shows at the same time—one on
each TV.
Use the buttons in the center section of the Moxi remote to control the DVR.
replay: Jumps back seven seconds.
skip: Jumps ahead approximately 30 seconds (if possible).
play: Begins playing or resumes play.
pause: Pauses the program.
fwd: Fast-forwards at variable speeds, faster with each press

rew: Rewinds at variable speeds, faster with each press

stop: Stops recording or playback of a recorded show.
rec: Gives you the option of recording the show.
A player bar keeps you informed of how much of a recorded show you have watched and the time

If you pause or replay live TV, the player bar shows how much of the show has been recorded to
temporary memory. That is how much you can replay.
The amount of content you can store on Moxi varies, depending on whether you record standard
definition or high definition content. High definition content takes up approximately four times as
much space on your DVR.

Pausing and Replaying Live TV
Now that you have Moxi, you don’t need to let interruptions make you miss exciting action or your
favorite part of a show. On either the Media Center or the 2-TV Media Center, you can easily pause a
live TV show to answer the phone, fix a snack, or let the cat in. You can watch an instant replay of a
scene you missed or one you just want to see again.
With the 2-TV Media Center and Moxi Mate, you can pause the show in one room, and then pick it
up from the same place in another room. You can pause, replay, rewind, and fast-forward shows on
either TV. You can even replay a scene on one TV at the same time someone else fast-forwards or
watches it at regular speed on the other.
• To rewind a show you are watching: Press the rew button.

1. In the Settings category, select Video Output, and then press OK.
2. Select one of the settings that your TV supports:
• 480i—This is the default setting. Use this option if your TV does
not support high definition settings and is connected by an S-Video
cable, or a Composite video cable (yellow-tipped RCA cable).
• 1080i—This option is only for high definition TVs, connected by
Component cable (YPbPr). This setting cannot be used if the TV is
connected with Composite or S-Video connections.
• 480p or 720p—This option is for enhanced or high definition TVs
that do not support 1080i, but do support other high-definition
settings and are connected by Component (YPbPr). This setting
cannot be used if the TV is connected with Composite or S-Video
cable.
Tip: If you have HDTV, we suggest you set your video output for
HD (usually 1080i). However, if you want to view SD shows in their

Connecting the Media Center
At installation, the cable installer connected your Media Center to your TV. However, if you change to
a different TV or move the Media Center to another room, you will need to reconnect it. The following
steps briefly describe how to connect your Media Center to your TV. Refer to the Hardware manual for
detailed instructions.
1. With the TV and Media Center unplugged, connect the incoming cable
to the Media Center, as shown in (1).
2. For the best viewing experience—and to support high definition—
connect the Media Center video output to your TV using the Component
video connection (YPbPr). Use a certified Component video cable. (2a).
If your TV does not have Component video, the next best choice is to
use an S-Video connection (2b). Otherwise, use the optional yellow
composite connection (2c). Connect the appropriate cable as shown.
3. If your entertainment system supports digital audio, use the S/PDIF
connection supported by your system. (Wiring not shown.) Otherwise,
connect a Composite stereo audio cable (typically red = right, white =
left) as shown in (3).
4. Plug one end of the power cable into the Media Center (4) and the other
end into the power outlet. Allow three to five minutes for Moxi to start.
If you upgrade to a TV that supports high definition, you must configure the Moxi video output settings to
match what your TV supports. For more information, see the “Setting Video Output Resolution” chapter.
Note: The DVI port on your media center is not active at this time. Use the Component connections to
support HD output.

Frequently Asked Questions
DVR
How do I record only the first-run episodes of a series?
When you schedule the series recording, select recording options in the action menu, and then select
first-run only. As long as the channel listing identifies the episode as new or a repeat, Moxi will
record exactly what you request.
How can I record an entire show if it has already started?
As soon as you start watching a show, Moxi begins storing it in temporary memory. If you have been
watching the show for a few minutes before you press the rec button on the Moxi remote, Moxi
automatically includes the stored part of the show in the final recording.
Note: If you change channels, temporary memory clears and Moxi starts storing the show on the new
channel. The amount of available temporary memory space varies, but is never less than 30 minutes.
Can I record a Pay Per View or On Demand show?
You can watch a Pay Per View show or record it for later viewing only at the time you purchase it.
You can watch an On Demand show as often as you like, while it is available. You cannot record an On
Demand show.
How do I know when the recorder is full?
Moxi never lets the recorder get full. Based on your requests and the priorities you set, Moxi manages
the amount of space you have left. If Moxi needs space to record a new program, it asks you to delete
some shows.
