SAFETY INFORMATION (cont.)

Safety aspects of connections

Full details of the rear panel are on page 6.

Connecting

Do not connect your set-top (or any other equipment such as a TV or VCR) to the power supply until you have properly connected all the other cables.

Your set-top is designed for use only with the supplied power supply unit.

On the power supply unit there is a label that speciﬁes the correct AC power supply input for it. Do not connect the power supply unit to any supply other than this.

Always connect the 12 volt DC cord from the power supply unit to your set-top before you insert the AC power cord from the power supply unit into the wall AC outlet.

Disconnecting

To disconnect power from your set-top, always detach the power supply unit from the wall AC outlet (rather than remove the 12 volt cord from your set-top).

Therefore you must install your set-top near to the wall AC outlet, which should be easily accessible.

If you are in any doubt about the power supply cord, its plug or its connection, consult a qualiﬁed electrician.

Regulatory information

CAUTION: Do not attempt to modify your set-top without written authorization from the manufacturer. Unauthorized modiﬁcation could void your authority to operate your set-top.

NOTE

Your set-top has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. Your set-top generates, uses and can radiate radio-frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.

However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If your set-top does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning your set-top off and on, you are encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures.

•Reorientorrelocatethereceivingantenna.

•Increasetheseparationbetweenyourset-topandthereceiver.

CONNECTING THE EQUIPMENT

Possible setups

In order for you to view programs broadcast in high-deﬁnition, your set-top must be connected to a suitable HDTV or computer monitor. Your set-top is also compatible with standard-deﬁnition TVs and VCRs.

Your equipment should have been connected up by your installer. However, if you need to disconnect and reconnect your equipment, read pages 8 and 9.

There are two typical connection setups for an HDTV, VCR, DVD player, and home theater receiver.

You can take advantage of the digital audio output from your set-top by connecting a suitable cable between your home theater receiver and the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT connector (as shown in the diagrams). How you set up your equipment may depend on your home theater receiver. For example, the optical audio input may be associated with a particular video input. Consult your home theater user guide for further details.

The setups shown on pages 8 and 9 make efﬁcient use of the connectors on your set-top. However, depending on your other equipment and the connectors on it, the person who installed your system may have chosen to connect things differently.

Recording programs

Both setups allow stereo recording and play-back of video tapes. You hear stereo sound from the home theater’s loudspeakers. However, the RNG200N has an internal hard disk for recording programs. You can also attach an external hard disk to the rear-panel eSATA port.

Both set-tops can also be used in a home network with separate network-attached storage, so that recordings can be stored centrally and viewed in at various locations in your home. The equipment in a home network must be installed by a qualiﬁed installer.

RF connections

Although the RF cables (shown by dashed lines in the diagrams) are not absolutely necessary, we recommend that you connect them as a back-up. If you use the RF cables, you must tune your TV (and VCR) to your set-top’s VHF output channel (3 or 4: consult your cable service-provider to ﬁnd which channel it is for your location). Consult the manuals supplied with your TV and VCR for information on how to tune.

WARNINGS

Do not connect your set-top (or any other equipment such as a TV or VCR) to the power supply until you have properly connected all the other cables.

Disconnect your set-top’s power supply unit from the AC power supply before you disconnect any other equipment from its rear panel.

The only way to disconnect your set-top from the AC power supply is to remove the power supply unit from the wall AC outlet (or switch the wall AC outlet switch, if present, to its OFF position). Your set-top must therefore be installed near to the wall AC outlet,

The cable input is designed for connection to a cable network only. You must not connect any other equipment, such as a VCR, to this input.

Any cable connected to DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (the upper RCA jack) must be 75 ohm coaxial cable, not regular audio cable.

NOTE

Copy protection via an HDMI secure link

The HDMI link between your set-top and your HDTV should be a secure link. When your set-top is attached via an HDMI cable to an HDCP-compliant (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) HDTV, the HDTV and set-top negotiate a secure link, which allows your set-top to transmit full resolution video (picture) to your HDTV.

Not all HDTVs support HDCP. If your set-top is connected to an HDTV that does not support it, the following may be displayed:

Your HDTV does not support HDCP. Please use the YPbPr component connection to watch TV.

The HDMI output is then disabled, so no picture is transmitted from this connector. In that case, use the component video connectors to connect up (see Setup B).

After you have connected your set-top’s power supply unit to the wall AC outlet (and switched this outlet ON, if it has a switch), press the POWER button on your remote control to turn your set-top on (making sure your remote control is set to control your set-top). The (power) light on your set-top’s front panel should light up green, to show that your set-top is on.

The (power) light lights up green.

To turn your set-top on or off at any time, press the POWER button on your remote control.

Never turn off your set-top by simply disconnecting it from the power supply. If you need to disconnect your set-top, ﬁrst stop any recording (if applicable). Then turn off your set-top by pressing the POWER button on your remote control, so that the (power) light goes off. Then wait 60 seconds before removing the power supply unit from the wall AC outlet.

Power Saving: To save power and money, and to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, turn off your set-top, using the POWER button on your remote control, when it is not in use.

Lightning storms

Disconnect your set-top’s power cord during lightning storms. A lightning storm may affect your set-top, if it is on during the storm. It may appear that it has stopped working, but you can easily restore its operation as follows:

Unplug your set-top’s power supply unit from the wall AC outlet. Then plug this power supply unit in again at the wall AC outlet (and, if there is a switch by this outlet, switch it to its ON position).

Using your remote control

Your cable TV service-provider determines the digital channels, services, and screen information that you see on your TV when you use your set-top and its remote control.

Consult the information supplied by your cable service-provider for details on how to make the most of the digital cable services. Also read the operating instructions that are supplied with your remote control.

OPERATING YOUR SET-TOP (cont.)

Using DVR (digital video recorder) functions

If you have an RNG200N set-top, it has an internal hard disk to provide DVR functions. Both the RNG150N and the RNG200N have a rear-panel eSATA port to which you can connect an external hard disk (see further detail below). This can give DVR functionality to the RGN150N and increase the recording capacity for the RNG200N.

Your set-top can also be connected into a home network. This allows several set-tops to record to a separate hard disk called a network attached storage (NAS) unit. In this way, recordings can shared around your home (Multiroom). You need a qualiﬁed installer to set up such a home network for you and you should then consult the information supplied with your NAS unit.

You can use the DVR functionality to record and play back television programs, giving you much more control of your viewing experience. For example, you can pause live television and resume viewing from the point at which you left off. You can record many more hours than you can by using a VCR or DVD recorder. There is a red light on your set-top’s front panel to show when recording is taking place. With your set-top you can:

• pauseliveTV;

• instantlyreplayliveTV;

NOTES

Exact DVR functionality depends on your on-screen program guide. For more details, consult the information supplied by your cable service-provider.

Do not confuse recording to a hard disk with recording to a separate VCR or DVD recorder, as mentioned on page 7.

The DVR functions will not work if an RNG200N set-top becomes overheated. The internal hard disk will be temporarily disabled. Refer to the set-top’s ventilation requirements on page 4.

Using an external hard disk

Your cable service-provider may enable a feature that allows an external hard disk to work with your set-top. If this is the case, most major brands of serial ATA hard disk, connected to the eSATA port, are supported. You must not connect an external hard disk to the USB port.

If you use an external hard disk with an RNG200N set-top, it gives extra recording capacity, but you cannot choose which disk (internal or external) your set-top will record onto. It automatically chooses the one with more empty space. The recordings on the external hard disk are uniquely linked to the set-top on which they were made, so you cannot play them back or delete them with a different set-top.

Connecting an external hard disk

1. Stop any recording you are making to your set-top’s internal hard disk (applicable to RNG200N).

2. Turn off your set-top with the POWER button, then wait 60 seconds before disconnecting its power supply unit from the wall AC outlet. (You must not “hot plug” an external hard disk.)

3. Connect the external hard disk, using an appropriate cable, to the eSATA connector on your set-top.

4. Apply power to the external hard disk.

5. Reconnect your set-top’s power supply unit to the wall AC outlet and turn it on with the POWER button.

If the external disk needs formatting, your set-top informs you by displaying a pop-up dialog box on your

TV screen (see right).

6. Use the arrow and OK/Select buttons to select YES, and the formatting begins.

Do you want to format the external hard drive?

Using Zoom to change the picture

Making the appropriate TV Aspect Ratio and TV Display Capability settings (see pages 15 through 17) should ensure that the picture on your TV screen is not distorted (stretched or squashed) and that it ﬁlls as much of the screen as possible.

However, even if you have selected the correct settings, there may be times when a program appears with black borders either at the top and bottom or at the sides of the picture (or sometimes even all the way around the picture). This happens because the aspect ratio (shape) of the transmitted program does not match the aspect ratio of your HDTV, or because the transmitted program includes black borders as part of the transmission (see right).

Your remote control should have a “zoom function” button (could be labeled ZOOM or ASPECT), which you can use to change the TV picture until it appears as you want it to.

1. Press the “zoom function” button once to change the display.

A 4:3 transmission, with a 16:9 picture. Dark bars are added at the top and bottom of the transmission.

2. Press it again to change the display again. Continue to press it in this way until the picture appears as you want it to.

Note: The effect that this button has on transmissions depends on the transmission itself. On some transmissions it may have no effect at all.

OPERATING YOUR SET-TOP (cont.)

Setting up subtitles

Subtitles in various languages may be transmitted with TV programs. You can set up your set-top to display subtitles, when they are available. You can also set your preferred language for these subtitles. There is a choice of several languages, including English.

If you set subtitles to be “on”, they will be displayed in the preferred language only when subtitles in that language are transmitted with a program. For example, if you set subtitles to be “on” and in Spanish, but only French subtitles are transmitted with a particular program, you will see French subtitles for that program, not Spanish.

Note: You can also turn on closed captions (see page 19) to give subtitles, but any subtitles you set up using this PACE SUBTITLE SETTINGS menu will take priority.

Selecting subtitles in your preferred language

1. Make sure that your set-top is turned on (the (power) light is green).

2. Press the POWER button on your remote control (the (power) light goes off), then press the Info button.

“oFF” (indicating that subtitles are currently set to be off) or “on” (indicating that subtitles are currently set

to be on) appears on the front-panel display and the PACE SUBTITLE SETTINGS menu appears on your TV screen (see right).

3. Press U or D to highlight “Subtitles”, then press OK/Select to turn them on or off.

4. Press U or D to highlight “Subtitle Language”, then use the OK/Select button to choose the language you want (the language changes each time you press OK/Select).

MAKING USER SETTINGS (cont.)

About TV Display Capability (resolution settings)

• Your set-top can transmit pictures to your TV in a range of resolutions (also called “Display Capabilities”

- see below for the settings available). Generally, higher screen resolutions give better quality pictures. However, the quality always depends on how the program was originally transmitted.

• Different TVs display different screen resolutions. For example, standard TVs display “480i”, EDTVs (Enhanced Deﬁnition TVs) display “480p”, and most HDTVs display “1080p”, “1080i”, or “720p”. Many HDTVs will display at more than one resolution. For more information, see the information supplied with your HDTV. See also the note, right.

You may need to make appropriate TV Display Capability settings on your set-top, so that it is compatible with your TV. See the next page for full instructions.

In order to display the best picture every time, you must select every resolution that your TV is capable of displaying. This ensures that programs are displayed with minimum distortion.

There are ﬁve front-panel lights for the various resolutions. The appropriate one lights up to show the resolution of the transmission your set-top is currently receiving (not the resolution of the signals at the outputs of your set-top).

TV Display Capability settings

• 480i is standard deﬁnition NTSC and is transmitted in a 4:3 aspect ratio (see right).

• 480p is enhanced digital TV and can be transmitted in either a 4:3 or 16:9 aspect ratio.

• 720p,1080i, and 1080p are HDTV and are transmitted in a 16:9 aspect ratio (see right).

480i transmission: The aspect ratio is 4:3

1080i transmission: The aspect ratio is 16:9

NOTE

When your HDTV and set-top are connected by an HDMI connector, your set-top gets information from your HDTV about the HDTV’s display capability. Your set-top uses this information to adjust its TV Display Capability settings.

Your set-top also records your HDTV’s ID (identiﬁcation), so that only one HDTV is supported at any one time. When your HDTV has updated your set-top’s TV Display Capability settings, you may change them if you wish. Your changes will then be stored with the ID.

You can restore your set-top’s TV Display Capability settings to their factory values, as described on page

22. You can also restore your set-top to the settings that your HDTV has passed to your set-top. To do this you must ﬁrst restore the factory settings while the HDMI cable is disconnected from your set-top, then reconnect your HDTV via the HDMI cable.

Changing the TV Display Capability

If you have not already done so, put your set-top into User Settings mode, as described on page 15.

1. Press the U or D button on your remote control until the front panel shows “reS” (short for resolution). On the PACE USER SETTINGS menu, TV Display Capability is highlighted when “reS” is on the front panel.

2. Press the R button when you see “reS” on the front panel. The front panel shows the TV display capability that was last selected, so it could show 480i, 480P, 720P, 1080i, 1080p24 Pass*, 1080p30 Pass* or 1080p60 (the last four settings are displayed as 1080). The TV Display Capability menu, shown right, appears on your TV screen.

3. Press the U or D button to highlight each resolution in turn on the menu and, for each one, press the OK/Select button if you wish to change the setting (the setting changes between “YES” and “NO” each time you press OK/Select).

If, at any stage in this process, the menu disappears from the screen, immediately press

the OK/Select button to restore the menu.

4. When you are satisﬁed that all the TV resolutions are correct, press the L button. The front panel shows “reS” again and the PACE USER SETTINGS menu reappears.

To continue making the settings, see the next section.

MAKING USER SETTINGS (cont.)

* NOTE

If your HDTV is 1080p-compliant and connected by HDMI, setting “1080p24 Pass” to YES causes 1080p/24 transmissions (at 24 frames per second) to be displayed at 1080p/24. Likewise, setting “1080p30 Pass” to YES causes 1080p/30 transmissions (at 30 frames per second) to be displayed at 1080p/30.

The HDMI-connected HDTV may report that it is not 1080p-compliant and set “1080p24 Pass” (or “1080p30 Pass”) to NO. In this case 1080p transmissions will be output at one of the other resolutions (1080i, 720p, 480p, or 480i). If you override this NO setting and set YES, you may see nothing for 1080p transmissions.

If the HDTV is not connected by HDMI, “HDMI Cable Required” is displayed and you cannot set “1080p24 Pass” or “1080p30 Pass” to either YES or NO.

Transmissions at 480i, 480p, 720p, or 1080i can never be output at 1080p.

Further information about the TV Display Capability

The TV Display Capability settings relate to equipment that is connected to the HDMI and COMPONENT VIDEO connectors because the settings control the output at those connectors. If equipment is connected via an HDMI cable, that equipment may also pass information back to your set-top, which may affect the settings that are available.

Generally, the TV Display Capability settings do not affect equipment connected to the VIDEO OUT and S-VIDEO connectors, because the output at these connectors is always standard deﬁnition 480i.

Change the TV Display Capability resolution settings if necessary (see page 16).

Check that you have not muted the sound on your settop and/or TV. Adjust the volume control on your set-top and/or TV. If you are using a home theater receiver, check it is set up correctly.

SOLVING PROBLEMS (cont.)

Check Suggested solution Further checks, if there is still a problem

Can you hear stereo sound?

YES

Can you see and hear a DVD that you are trying to play?

YES

First check that the program is likely to have stereo sound (an old movie, for example, may

not be in stereo).

Check the on-screen Setup Menu, Audio settings (see page 23). The Stereo Output may be set to “Mono”. Change it to “Stereo”.

Check that all the audio and video cables are securely and correctly connected, including

any to a home theater receiver that you may be using to enhance the sound.

If your TV is mono, you will hear stereo sound only if you have a stereo audio ampliﬁer and speakers or home theater connected to your stereo VCR or set-top.

Is the picture low quality, or “fuzzy”, when you are expecting to see an HDTVquality picture?

Are the DVR functions working?

YES

Some programs may include “copy protection” which means, if your set-top is connected

to your HDTV via the component video connectors, the picture is downgraded to standard TV quality. To prevent this from happening, use an HDMI connection instead.

The internal hard disk (if ﬁtted) may be

temporarily disabled because your set-top has overheated. Make sure your set-top is not overheating (refer to the set-top’s ventilation requirements on page 4).
