Introduction

The Moxi Menu is the easiest, most intuitive way to browse and command the expanding range of programming content and services.

The Emmy® Award-winning dual-axis navigation (see figure 1) puts content choices right at the top of the menu instead of forcing you to dig through several levels of menus.

Vertical band with subcategories or selections

Center focus is the active card

Horizontal band with category or filter selections

Figure 1: Conceptual view of the Moxi Menu

Powerful browsing and search tools

Searching through hundreds of channels one by one is no way to find shows. With the mini-TV window, you can browse the menu without interrupting what you are watching.

• Total access — Integrated menu displays cable programming and media applications, such as Jukebox, Photos, and Games.

• Intuitive action menus — Choices (such as watch, record, or close) are presented in clear pop-up menus.

• Integrated On Demand and Pay Per View — Listings available from multiple locations.

• Browse while viewing — The mini-TV window and Moxi Flip Bar make it easy to browse program information and set pro grams to record without leaving the current show.

• Powerful search — Search two full weeks of guide data, including On Demand and Pay Per View listings, by title, keyword, and category.

• Category filters — Browse by category – HDTV, movies, sports, kids, news, music, and more.

• Parental controls — Block shows by TV rating, movie rating, or channel, and set On Demand and PPV purchase options.

Introduction

Watch and record in high-definition

The Moxi service offers robust high definition TV (HDTV) so you can watch and record crystal-clear high definition programming.

• Full DVR capabilities for HDTV, with Dolby Digital and surround sound decoding.

• Output options in 16:9 (widescreen) and 4:3 (standard) with

DVI-D and component video outputs (in addition to RF, composite, and S-Video connectors).

• Automatic resolution switching passes through the native resolution of source programming for TVs that support multiple resolutions.

Take charge of your TV

Digital Video Recording (DVR) allows you to get more from your TV service provider. With Moxi, y ou can watc h TV on your own sch edu le. Never miss your favorite shows, even if two are on at the same time.

• Pause and use instant replay on live TV.

while playing back a previously recorded show.

• Fast-forward and rewind shows, at a variety of speeds.

• Automatically record the entire season of a favorite series.

Other great applications

On Demand and Pay Per View —The innovative Moxi Menu makes it easy to browse, preview, and purchase On Demand programming.

Y ou can surf through On Demand titles in a menu category, or find On Demand titles included within search and browse results alongside Pay Per View, live TV, and recorded show listings, all without digging through a deep menu.

Digital photos — Photos offers the easiest way to import, store, browse, and view family photos on TV.

SuperTicker™ — SuperTicker runs at the bottom of the TV screen and brings you one-touch access to weather, sports, news, and more, without taking you away from your show. Use the remote to see the details behind any headline.

Introduction

DVD player — The on-screen menu for DVDs makes it easy to switch

to alternate commentary, language tracks, and subtitles (some models).

Games — Enjoy traditional arcade games such as Mahjong, Video Poker, Slot Machine, and more.

Jukebox — Import music from CDs and then play them through the Moxi Menu. Browse your collection by artist, album, genre, or song. Shuffle the collection by genre, artist, or album.

PC Link — PC Link allows your media center to access photos and music stored on your networked computers. Any shared media are then available for display or play on the TV and home theater audio system. Using Windows Media Connect 2.0 or later, photos and music files appear in the Photos or Jukebox categories, just like photos and music loaded directly on the media center.

PC Link can connect to your home network through Ethernet or with a wireless Ethernet adapter.

Extend the media center to a second TV

The Moxi Mate makes all the features of the media center available to a second TV in the home. Contact your service provider for the avail ability of the Moxi Mate. Not all media centers are compatible.

Using this guide

Each chapter includes a short table of contents at the beginning and a blue box at the end directing you to the next step in the process or fur ther information on recently discussed subjects.

At the back of this book there is a glossary and index. Since the Moxi user interface is so intuitive, readers often look to the index to find answers to specific questions.

Notes appear throughout this book. The notes have icons to indicate that the subject.

When a word is bolded it either refers to an element of the Moxi Menu or a button on the remote or front panel that requires user action. For example, press the skip button on the remote.

Notes with a red icon contain cautionary or warning information. Failure to heed this information could lead to damaged or malfunctioning equipment or loss of data.

Notes with the blue icon contain informative tips or answers to common questions.

Notes with the orange icon contain something to try out.

Using Moxi

This chapter tells you all you need to know to become an expert user of the Moxi Menu.

Using the remote control

The Moxi remote allows full control of the media center and provides volume controls for your TV or audio receiver. Buttons on the remote are organized by function. Many buttons have multiple functions depending on whether you are in the Moxi Menu, watchin g fu llscreen TV, or using an application such as Jukebox.

The primary function of the orange Moxi button is to op en an d clos e the Moxi Menu but no matter where you end up in the Moxi Menu, always remember that the Moxi button can get you back to full-screen TV with a couple of presses.

See figure 2 on page 9 for a detail e d loo k a t a ll t he buttons and functions.

The About Moxi category offers several helpful tips and a welcome movie that provides an overview of the media center.

About

Moxi

Figure 7: The About Moxi card

Understanding the storage meter

The Storage & Stats card in the About Moxi category provides a disk space meter that indicates how much hard drive space is in use. If an external hard drive is connected, the media center adjusts the meter to account for the extra spac e. This meter only provides a gen eral idea of how much more you can record. The exact space for future recordings depends upon the type of recording (HD or SD), the broadcasting station, and whether or not any stored programs are eli gible for deletion.

Software version and other details

The Storage & Stats card in the About Moxi category lists information that may be helpful during a service call.

• Software version — the current version of the Moxi software running on the media center

• Box ID — serial number or hardware device ID (HDID)

• IP address — a numerical address that identifies a specific loca-

tion or computer on the Internet

• MAC address — Media Access Control address is a unique number assigned to a media center

• The date of the most recent updates for account settings, entitlements, and EPG data

Searching by category

The search by category method organizes shows scheduled in the next 24 hours into category or genr e filters such as movies, drama, comedy, and so on. Some categories include a card, such as more movies that shows additional matches for the next two weeks or so. Shows may appear in more than one genre.

Remembering your favorite channels

The Moxi Menu automatically builds a list of the 15 channels you watch most frequently and stores them in the Favorites category (see figure 11). Favorites are compiled separately for the Moxi Mate and media center.

Figure 11: Favorites card

The favorites list builds from channels that appear in the Channels category and excludes any channels blocked by parental controls.

• Delete a single channel at a time by selecting the channel, and then choosing remove channel, or by pressing the clear button on the remote.

• Clear the entire favorites list by selecting the Options card (you might need to scroll down to see it), and then choo sing c lear al l.

Using Photos

You can load hundreds of digital photos on your media center and then play them back as slideshows on your TV.

The media center can also connect to your networked computer running Windows Media Connect and stream photos o ver you r ho me network. To learn more about connecting to your PC, see

Link on page 53.

Enabling PC

Uploading photos

1. Attach a memory card reader to a USB port on the media center. The rear ports are USB 2.0 and significantly faster than the front USB ports.

2. Insert the memory card containing the photos into the card reader.

3. In the Photos category, choose load album.

The media center skips any photos larger than 10 MB.

4. The media center uses a reserved partition of the hard drive for photos and music so uploading photos does not decrease the amount of TV you can record. The media center shows you how much of the dedicated space you are using with the Media Storage Capacity graph (see figure 24).

a. If you have room for the new albu m, continue to Step 5. b. Otherwise, choose no, close, and then delete an older album before

uploading a new one.

5. Choose yes, upload to confirm. The media center creates a new album, labels it with the current date, and copies the photos stored on the memory card.

If you use PC Link, shared media have the link icon in the upper right.

Creating a playlist for a photo album with PC Link

First you need to create a playlist. On your PC, you can create a playlist using a media player that supports .m3u (used by various media play ers) or .wpl (Windows Media Player) playlist file formats. The playlist and its music files must be in folders that are shared through Windows Media Connect to play on your media center . You can also create play lists from music stored locally on your media center by adding the music to a queue and saving that queue as a playlist.

To assign your playlist to a photo album, go to the albu m o n your media center. Select slideshow music, then select the playlist you would like to have assigned to it.

Using Media Player

Some models of the media center include a DVD player that allows you to watch DVDs or play audio CDs on either the m edia c enter o r the Moxi Mate, if available.

To play a movie:

1. Press the eject button on the media center or, in the Moxi Menu, select the Media Player category, and then choose eject or open

tray.

2. Insert the DVD in the tray, and then press the eject button on the

media center or, in the Moxi Menu, select the Media Player category, and then choose close tray.

3. The DVD should begin automatically. If it does not, select the Media Player in the Moxi Menu, press OK, and then select play.

Once the DVD is playing, press OK to open the flip bar , and t hen press OK again to access the DVD controls without interrupting the mov ie.

If the DVD contains rating information, the media center enforces your parental control settings. (To learn more about parental controls, see

Parental Controls on page 35.)

You can watch the DVD on either the media center or the Moxi Mate, but you cannot watch it simultaneously on both.

all DVRs were not created equal

Using Moxi

DVD video resolutions

Since the native resolution of DVDs is 480i, the media center automatically plays DVDs in either 480p or 480i, depending on your selections in the HDTV `Setup category. The media center automatically upcon verts to 480p if 480i is not selected in the HDTV Setup category.

The DVD player in the media center cannot upconvert to 720 p or 1080i or play HD-DVD or Blu-Ray discs.

DVD copyrights

To protect the copyrights of movie creators, you cannot watch DVDs on a TV connected to the media center with IEEE 1394 or record DVDs to a VCR connected with IEEE 1394.

Using Jukebox

Jukebox allows you to play music using your media center, TV, and home theater equipment. If PC Link is enabled (see

Link on page 53), you may play music stored on your personal computer.

Using and programming the remote

This chapter provides information about remote functions and programming.

Functions of the Moxi remote

The Moxi remote operates the media center, and—once programmed—will simultaneously control the power, volume, and mute functions of your TV or audio receiver.

Your cable operator may supply a different remote. If your remote does not look like the one pictured in the information provided with that remote for programming instructions.

When replacing batteries, use only high quality, non-corrosive batteries designed for use in electronic equipment.

Multi-function buttons

Some buttons have different functions depending on what application you are using, whether you are watching live TV, or navigating the Moxi Menu. For example, the ch+ button pages through the channels category in the Moxi Menu but opens the flip bar and switches to the next channel while watching live TV. See details on all the buttons and functions.

Infrared emitter

When a button on the remote is pressed, the infrared signal is sent to an IR receiver. The receiver then transmits the signal to the IR emitter (IR blaster), which sends commands to electronic components.

For the IR emitter to send its signals to the media center, it must have a clear view of the infrared receiver on the front panel of the media center. To see the receiver, shine a flashlight at the media center front panel, to the right of the clock (see tation provided by the manufacturer of the IR emitter for proper i nstallation and orientation.

The infrared frequency used for IR signals between the remote and media center is 38 KHz.

Adding additional recording space

This chapter describes how to connect an external hard drive, VCR, or other recording device, to add additional drive space or archive shows recorded on the media center. If you have the External Hard Drive card in the Settings category, continue to below. Otherwise, skip to Archiving simplified on page 49.

Programs protected by Macrovision copy protection may not be archived to a VCR.

Using an external hard drive

To provide additional space for recorded programs, you may connect one external hard drive at a time to the rear USB 2.0 port on the media center to provide additional space for recorded programs. Once the media center recognizes the external hard drive, programs stored on it appear in the Recorded TV category and any other applicable catego ries.

• There is no limit to the number of external hard drives you can associate with the media center but only connect one at a time.

• External hard drives used with the media center must be dedicated for use with only that media center. Moving the external hard drive between media centers or using it for storing other data will cause the loss of all programs previously stored on the external hard drive.

• The external hard drive is only used to store recordings, not photos or music. If you need more storage space for photos or music, see

Enabling PC Link on page 53.

• The Moxi Menu does not provide any visual clues about which hard drive (internal or external) contains a recording.

Connecting an external hard drive

1. Connect an external hard drive to a USB 2.0 port on the rear of the media center. Connect the hard drive directly to the media center. USB hubs are not supported.

2. Wait for media center to recognize the external hard drive. If the media center fails to recognize the external hard drive, restart the media center and try again.

3. If this is the first time this hard drive was plugged into this media center, or if the hard drive is not properly formatted, the media center prompts you to format the hard drive.

If you choose to format the external hard drive, all data on the drive

will be deleted. You must do this to use the external hard drive with the media center.

4. If you choose reformat, you are the prompted to confirm the choice.

5. Once the external hard drive is recognized as properly formatted and

ready for use, the media center adjusts the recording schedule to account for the additional space. You can unplug and plug in the external hard drive as needed.

all DVRs were not created equal

Adding additional recording space

Disconnecting an external hard drive

If an connected external hard drive is disconnected while it is in use (a recording is playing or a program is being recorded) recordings stored on it may become corrupted. To disconnect the external hard drive:

1. Manually stop all recordings by selecting the program card in the Moxi Menu, and then choosing stop recording.

2. In the Settings category, select the External Hard Drive card.

3. Select disconnect and press OK.

4. A note appears letting you know that it is ok to disconnect the drive

or that the drive is in use and cannot be disconnected.

Recovering corrupted programs

In certain circumstances, such as after a power failure, a message asking you to reformat your external hard drive may appear even when the external drive is already formatted for your Moxi. Your recordings may be recoverable.

1. Select Close to dismiss the message.

2. Switch the external hard drive off.

3. Switch the external hard drive on.

4. Wait until all disk activity stops. This may take several minutes but it

indicates that Moxi is attempting to resolve the file corruption.

5. Check the Recorded TV category for recovered recordings. If they do not appear, repeat this procedure once more. If they still do not appear, the recordings are corrupt and the external hard drive must be reformatted.

Archiving simplified

To archive a program, play back the record ed program while recording with the connected recording device. When recording to a VCR from any port all on-screen activities are recorded. This includes channel changes, navigation of the Moxi Menu, system sounds, and transpo r t actions (pause, stop, rewind, and fast-forward).

When installing any secondary device, such as a VCR, do not insert the device in the primary signal path between the media center and the TV, as this may affect the video and audio displayed on the TV. Instead, use a secondary video input to the TV for the VCR (see the content is protected by copy protection systems, the picture may still appear distorted.

Signal flows from the media center to the TV and also to the VCR or other secondary device. Never install the secondary device in the primary connection between the media center and the TV.

Adding additional recording space

When selecting the connections, consider the video resolution.

• If you plan to record HD programming to the VCR, use a connection that supports 720p and 1080i.

• If you plan to record in standard definition (480i), use any video connection except the one used by the TV. See

table 3 for the

resolutions supported by each connection.

Archiving to a VCR or DVCR

The installation instructions in this document are generic and may need to be adjusted to suit the your equipment. Refer to the VCR manufacturer’s documentation before installation.

Always maintain an uninterrupted primary video connection directly from the media center to the TV.

Using a digital VCR to archive programs

1. Connect one video cable between the media center and the VCR.

a. Connect component cables if they are not already used for the TV. b. Use composite cables if component is not available. c. Use IEEE 1394 if your VCR and media center support it.

Use an IEEE 1394 connection to the TV as a secondary connection only. No user interface graphics are transmitted via IEEE 1394. Recordings made via IEEE 1394 include any channel changes and use of the playback controls.

d. If IEEE 1394 is not an option, use component if it is not already used

for the TV.

e. Use composite if component is not avai lable.

2. Unless you used IEEE 1394 or HDMI, which carries audio and video,

connect an audio cable between the media center and your VCR. Use S/PDIF or composite.

4. Plug in the power to start the media center (allow five minutes for

system start-up).

5. Plug the TV and receiver (if used) into a power outlet. On some models, a two-prong outlet is available on the rear of the media center.

Do not connect the media center to a switched power source. Doing so increases the chance that the media center is turned off and is not able to record programs as scheduled.

Connecting to the home network

To enable PC Link, the media center needs a full-time connection to your home network. The connection can be wired (see below) or wire less (see Wireless data conne ctio n on page 67), although a wired connection is preferred.

Wired data connection

Connect a CAT-5 network cable with RJ-45 plugs between the Ethernet port on the rear of the media center and your home network. An Internet connection is not required for PC

Adding components

To add components to the TV connected to the media center, such as a DVD player or VCR, refer to the manufacturer’s documentation for each device. For digital VCRs, see page 50.

For other additional components, use a secondary conn ection to th e TV. Do not interrupt the primary signal from the media center to the

figure 55). If the content is protected by d igital c opyright p ro-

TV (see tection systems, the picture on the additional component may appear distorted or not at all.

Signal flows from the media center to the TV and also to the VCR or other secondary device. Never install the secondary device in the primary connection between the media center and the TV.

Troubleshooting

This chapter contains troubleshooting information for basic issues related to your media center or Moxi Mate. If these tips do not resolve the issue, contact your service provider for fu rt h er a ssist a nc e.

Media center troubleshooting

This section addresses issues related to the media center.

Audio and video problems

The following procedures address connectivity and configuration issues between the cable drop, TV, and the media center.

No video displayed

1. Check the cabling between the media center and the TV to make sure it is connected correctly and securely.

2. Verify that the TV has the proper video settings (line 1, channel 3, SVideo, and so on).

3. Verify that the V-Chip in the TV is disabled. Instead, use the parental controls on the media center to control viewing. See Parental Controls on page 35 for more information.

Use the front panel controls to manually set the video resolution.

1. Simultaneously press the Live TV and OK buttons to display the current mode.

2. Use the channel up and down buttons to select the mode. The modes available are SD (for 480i), 480p, 720p, and 1080 (for 1080i).

Static on screen or poor picture quality

1. Make sure the media center and the TV are turned on.

2. Check that all cables are connected to the proper ports and are

secure.

3. Verify that the TV is tuned to the correct video input.

TV audio and video out-of-sync

1. Make sure the audio outputs from the media center are connected directly to the audio output device and are not passed through any intermediate device.

2. Reset the media center by pressing and holding the reset button until the LED display begins to change (starting with 0000). Allow about five minutes for the system to start.

Cannot change TV channels

1. Check the cabling between the media center and the TV.

2. Begin recording and then try changing the channel.

3. Bypass the media center and verify that the TV displays video. If not,

there is a problem with the signal.

4. Make sure the remote has fresh batteries.

5. Make sure the remote is programmed properly and is set to the

proper device mode. (See Using and programming the remote on page 41 for more information.)

Troubleshooting

Remote or front panel control problems

If you cannot control the media center with the front panel buttons:

• Try using the Moxi remote. If it works, call customer service for a replacement media center.

If you cannot control the user interface from the Moxi remote, but front panel buttons work:

• Make sure the remote has fresh batteries.

• Check the line of sight between the remote and the front of the

media center for obstructions.

• If the media center responds sluggishly or intermittently to remote control key presses, the problem may be caused by the TV. Some TVs, including those with backlight systems, emit a fre quency that interferes with the frequency used by the remote control (38 kHz). Try relocating the TV or media center so that the media center is well behind the TV.

Moxi Mate troubleshooting

This section provides troubleshooting tips for basic issues related to the Moxi Mate. If you cannot resolve the issue, contact your service provider.

Power problems

If the Moxi Mate does not display the time on the front panel, it is likely that it is not getting power.

• Ensure that the power cable is plugged into the Moxi Mate and the wall outlet.

• Use only the power supply issued with the Moxi Mate. Most Moxi Mates use a 7-Volt power supply.

• Make sure the wall outlet has power and is not controlled by a

wall switch. Voltage must be within the 95 VAC to 125 VAC range at 57 Hz to 63 Hz.

• Try a different wall outlet.

Troubleshooting

Audio and video problems

The following items address connectivity and configuration issues between the TV and the media center or Moxi Mate.

• Make sure the media center, Moxi Mate, and the TV to which the Moxi Mate is connected are plugged in and turned on.

• Make sure the TV connected to the media center or Moxi Mate is set to the correct channel (usually 3 or 4) or input setting, and that the sound is not muted.

• Check that the coaxial and composite cable connections to make sure they are secure.

• Check all splitters to ensure that they allow the 1 GHz signals used for Moxi Mate communications to pass through. Splitters may have “5 - 1000 Hz” written on them.

Home network troubleshooting

If you are having trouble connecting the media center to your home network, check the following:

• Connect the media center to the home network through the Ethernet (RJ-45) port on the rear of the media center. USB net work connections are not supported.

• Make sure DHCP is enabled in your router. Static IP addresses ar e not supported.

• When connecting the media center to your home IP network, a wired connection is best. Wired connections are not subject to the same interference as wireless connections.

• If you use a game adapter or ethernet brid ge to conn ect wirelessly, any 802.11b, g, or n product works but is susceptible to radio interference.

• Make sure the media center and any computers sharing photos or music with PC Link are on the same subnet. Their IP addresses are the same except for the last number (192.168.2.2 and

192.168.2.3, for example).

If all network devices seem to be working but you have problems getting Windows Media Connect to share media with your media center (your computer does not appear as an available server in the Moxi Menu), follow these steps.

1. Right-click the network icon in the system tray.

2. Click repair, and then wait for Windows to fix the problem.

all DVRs were not created equal

If that does not correct the problem, do the following:

1. At the computer, click Start, and then Run.

2. Type cmd, and then press Enter.

3. In the command window, type ipconfig /release, and

then press Enter.

4. Type ipconfig /dnsflush, and then press Enter.

5. Type ipconfig /renew, and then press Enter.

6. In Windows Media Connect, click the Settings icon. If sharing is enabled, click the stop button.

7. Click the start button to begin sharing.

8. After a few moments, your computer should begin sharing photos

and music with the media center.
