Cox Business TV Digital Receivers —

Important Tips for Safe Operation

Cox Business uses several digital receiver models. All are manufactured by ScientificAtlanta and include the ability to manually turn power ON/OFF, channel UP/DOWN, and volume UP/DOWN from buttons on the front of the digital receiver.

Please follow these important tips for safe operation of your digital receiver.

Read and Retain Your User’s Guide
It is important to read all of the instructions before you operate this equipment. Pay particular attention to the safety precautions. You’ll find your Cox Business TV User’s Guide is a user-friendly reference for any questions you may have. Remember that you can also visit us online at www.cox.com for additional resources.

Don’t Move the Digital Receiver
The digital receiver is really a computer that communicates with our network. It is set up to operate from only one cable outlet in your establishment. If you move the digital receiver, it is possible that it may not work properly in its new location. If you must move the digital receiver to a new cable outlet location, please contact Cox Business customer service at (866) 272-5777.

Safeguard Your Equipment
Avoid personal injury and damage to your equipment. Place all electronic equipment on a flat surface that is sturdy enough to support the size and weight of your equipment. Be sure your equipment is located close enough to an electrical outlet to accommodate the length of the power cord. Be sure your equipment is placed such that it has adequate ventilation.
CAUTION: An overextended cord can cause wires to fray and fail.
CAUTION: An unstable surface can cause equipment to fall.
CAUTION: Poor ventilation can cause equipment to overheat and fail.

Keep Your Equipment Clean
Dust can interfere with and damage your equipment and so can cleaning supplies! Do not use a liquid cleaner or an aerosol cleaner directly on the surfaces. Use a damp cloth or a cleaner designed specifically for electronics.
CAUTION: Be sure to unplug all equipment from the electrical outlet before cleaning.
CAUTION: Dust removers or any magnetic/static cleaning device may harm
your equipment.

Avoid Contact with Liquid or Moisture
Placing your equipment on a wet surface or placing wet objects on top of your equipment can cause electrical damage. Do not place beverages on your equipment.

5

Let Your Equipment “Breathe”
Your equipment has openings for ventilation that protect it from overheating. To ensure the reliability of your equipment, do not obstruct the openings.
• Do not place other equipment, lamps, books or any objects on top of this equipment.
• Do not place this equipment on a bed, sofa, rug or any similar surface.
• Do not place this equipment over a radiator or a heat register.
• Do not place this equipment in an enclosure, such as a bookcase or equipment rack, unless the installation provides proper ventilation.

Keep animals away from your electrical equipment. Animals, especially cats, can be
attracted to the warmth of the digital receiver for napping. The equipment cannot
“breathe” with the vents blocked, and it will overheat.

Avoid Electrical Shock and Fire Hazard
Never push objects through the openings in this equipment.
CAUTION: Objects placed through the openings of your equipment can touch dangerous voltage points or cause electrical shock or fire.

Use Appropriate Voltage and Frequency
Operate this equipment only from an electrical outlet that has the voltage and frequency that the equipment label indicates.
CAUTION: Do not overload electrical outlets and extension cords. A power surge protector is recommended for use with your equipment.

Make Sure Your Equipment Is Properly Grounded
This equipment has a two-prong plug. It is “grounded” when the plug is inserted
properly into a grounded, two-socket electrical outlet. This plug is polarized and it has one wide prong and one narrow prong. This plug fits only one way. If you are unable to insert this plug fully into the outlet, contact an electrician to replace the old outlet.
CAUTION: Do not force your two-pronged plug into an electrical outlet. Contact an electrician if your plug does not fit fully into the outlet.

Protect Your Electrical Cords
Foot traffic damages electrical cords and cords may trip an unwary person. Placing objects on or against the cords may damage the cords. Watch for wear and tear, particularly where cords plug in at the outlet and where cords exit the equipment.
CAUTION: Cords can trip an unwary person; frayed and worn cords can be a fire hazard.
CAUTION: Allow only qualified personnel to service your electronic equipment.
CAUTION: Do not open the cover of this equipment. Contact Cox Business customer service — (866) 272-5777 — if your Cox Business TV equipment requires service.
CAUTION: Do not place a magnet or any type of magnetic/static dust removal device on or near this equipment. Magnetic/static devices may affect the operation of this equipment.

6

Damage That Requires Service
If your equipment has damage that requires service, unplug your equipment from the electrical outlet. Refer all service to qualified service personnel when any of the following occurs:
• There is damage to the power cord or plug.
• Liquid enters the equipment.
• A heavy object falls on the equipment.
• There is exposure to rain or water.
• Operation is not normal, even after attempts to rectify as outlined in this guide.
• The equipment is dropped or the cabinet of this equipment is damaged.
• This equipment exhibits a distinct change in performance.

Upon completion of any service or repairs to this equipment, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine that the equipment is in proper operating condition.

To set up a repair appointment, contact Cox Business customer service — (866) 272-5777

Performance Rights Guidelines
Below are the performance rights guidelines for Music Choice’s agreement with ASCAP, BMI, and SESAC to ensure that you are in compliance for commercial establishments.

  • If you are currently paying performing rights to ASCAP, BMI, and SESAC for music use and you will be completely replacing the former music service(s) (i.e., jukebox, tape machines, CDs, etc.) with Music Choice, you must notify ASCAP, BMI, and SESAC that you are discontinuing use of the former sources of music and subscribing to Music Choice. Music Choice will be paying the performing rights.
  • Please understand that Music Choice pays the performing rights for Music Choice only. The payment of performing rights for all other music sources that you use in your place of business, such as jukeboxes, music through your TV and all others, is still your responsibility.
  • Music Choice’s agreement with ASCAP, BMI, and SESAC covers the use of Music Choice within your premise as “background/mood” music only. If Music Choice is used to complete a service offering, under our agreement with ASCAP, BMI, and SESAC, you will have to contact ASCAP, BMI, and SESAC for that usage. Music that is used to complete a service offering is described as music that is used as the primary source of entertainment, such as for dancing.
  • Music Choice’s agreement with ASCAP, BMI, and SESAC does not cover music licensing fees for any premise to which admission is charged or any ballroom, discotheque, dance studio, skating rink or other premise where dancing occurs even if admission is not charged.
  • Use of Music Choice for “Music Choice on Hold” is covered under our
    agreement with ASCAP, BMI, and SESAC.

We hope this clarifies what is and is not covered under Music Choice’s agreement
with ASCAP, BMI, and SESAC.

Using an HD/DVR Receiver with an HDTV

If you have an HD-capable DVR receiver from Cox and an HDTV, you may need to set up the HD/DVR receiver so that it provides video to your HDTV in picture formats that your HDTV supports to provide the optimum picture quality. As a default, your HD/DVR receiver is programmed to display all high-definition programs in 1080i picture format and all standard-definition programs in 480i picture format.

If your HDTV displays a blank screen when you turn it on, the HD/DVR receiver may not be sending your HDTV a picture format that your HDTV supports. Follow these steps to select the picture format settings for your HDTV.

Note: Rather than selecting a single picture format, you may want to set up all picture formats supported by your HDTV and then use different settings based on the format of the program being broadcast.

1. Consult your HDTV owner’s manual to determine the supported HD picture formats.
2. If your HD/DVR receiver is off, press [ CABLE ] and then [ POWER ] on the remote control to turn it on.
3. Press and hold [ SELECT ] on the front of the HD/DVR receiver until the Message Light blinks.

25

4. Press [ VOL – ] to indicate that you want to select a picture format setting. The LED display shows HdSr to indicate that you are in the Picture Format mode for HDTV screens.
5. Use the following table to select settings that your HDTV supports.

IMPORTANT: You have 20 seconds to begin selecting picture format settings. After 20 seconds, HdSr disappears to indicate that the HD/DVR receiver is no longer in the Picture Format mode. If this occurs, repeat this process by starting at step 2.

Picture Format

6. To start watching TV, make sure the remote control is in Cable mode.

Selecting Picture Formats for High-Definition TVs

At any time, you can change the picture format for your HDTV to select the best picture quality for the format currently being broadcast.

1. Turn off your HD/DVR receiver and turn on your HDTV.
2. On the HD/DVR receiver, press [ GUIDE ] and [ INFO ] at the same time. The Output Selection screen appears.
3. Using the remote control, press [ A ] to select the HD output type. The Set TV Screen Type screen will appear.
4. If you have a standard-screen HDTV, press [ A ]. If you have a wide-screen HDTV, press [ B ].
5. Select the desired Setup option.
6. To start watching TV, press [ EXIT ], [ CABLE ], and then [ POWER ]. While watching TV, you can change the picture format to any of the settings you selected by pressing [ SETTINGS ] and selecting Picture Format.

If you have questions or encounter difficulties controlling live TV, recording programs, playing recordings, or displaying the Picture-In-Picture (PIP) screen, this section might provide the information you need. If not, call Cox Business customer service — (866) 272-5777 — or visit www.cox.com

Questions About the Cox Business TV Digital Receiver/DVR Service*

What happens if the DVR temporarily loses power?

The recordings that were saved prior to the power loss are preserved, except those
recordings that were automatically deleted because their Save Time was reached.
Future recording schedules are also preserved. You miss only the recordings that were scheduled to be made while the power was out.

Where can I find details on installing the digital receiver?

Access Scientific-Atlanta’s Explorer eClub Web site at: www.scientificatlanta.com/explorerclub. It contains documentation on a number
of topics, including installation and setup. You need the model number of the digital receiver and your e-mail address to access the eClub Web site.

Why doesn’t the digital receiver respond when I press the keys on the remote?

Your remote may not be in the Cable mode. To use any of the features provided by the digital receiver, including the PIP feature, the remote must be in Cable mode.

I want to move the digital receiver to a new location. How do I do this?

Do not move your digital receiver unless absolutely necessary. After disconnecting
the digital receiver from your TV and other components, reconnect it by following the instructions in your digital receiver installation guide. If you can’t find your copy of this guide, log on to Scientific-Atlanta’s Explorer eClub Web site at:
www.scientificatlanta.com/explorerclub. It contains documentation on a number of topics, including installation and setup. You need the model number of the digital receiver and your e-mail address to access the eClub Web site.

Questions About Controlling a Live Program or Recording

Can I remove the DVR on-screen graphics and banners?

Yes. Some TV programs display “scrolling” information across the bottom of the TV screen (for example, news and sports “tickers”). The DVR on-screen status bar and other graphics may cover up information scrolling on screen. Press [ EXIT ] to remove any on-screen graphic or banner.

*Subscription to Cox Business TV DVR service is required. Service not available in all areas. DVR service may not be available for establishments with public viewing.

29

How far back can I rewind a program?

It depends upon whether the program is a live or a recorded program. You can rewind all recorded programs to the beginning of the recording. The situation is different for live programs. If you have watched a live program for less than one hour, you can rewind back to the point that you started watching the channel.

If you have watched a live program for longer than 1 hour, you can rewind up to the last hour that you’ve watched.

Can I pause, rewind, or fast-forward a program in the PIP screen?

No. Buttons such as [ PAUSE ], [ REW ] and [ FFWD ] control only the program shown in the main TV screen. They also control the small quarter screen that appears on DVR screens, such as the Recorded List screen and the Interactive Program Guide. See page 24 for details on the main TV screen and the quarter screen.

Can I pause, rewind, or fast-forward a program shown in the upper right corner of DVR screens?

Yes. The small screen shown in the upper right corner of DVR screens (the quarter screen) is actually the main TV screen displayed in a smaller size. It is reduced to fit within DVR screens. Buttons such as [ PAUSE ], [ PLAY ], [ REW ] and [ FFWD ] control the main TV screen, whether the screen fills the monitor of your TV or whether it is reduced to fit in a DVR screen.

Questions About Watching Two Programs at Once

If a program is being recorded in the PIP screen and I turn off the PIP feature, will this stop the recording?

No. The DVR continues to record the program even if you turn off the PIP feature.

What if my TV doesn’t have the PIP feature?

You can still use the PIP feature because the DVR — not the TV — provides the PIP feature.

Questions About Recording and Playing Back Programs

If I’ve been tuned to a program since it started, do I have to rewind to the beginning to record the entire program?

No. If you have been tuned to the program since its beginning, just press [ RECORD ] from any point in the program to record the entire program. Recording automatically stops when the program ends.

How many programs can I record at the same time?

With a dual tuner Cox DVR you can record up to two programs simultaneously.

Can I record the program that is shown in the PIP screen?

You can record a program that is shown in the PIP screen, but you must swap the program to the main screen first. For details, see “Record Two Programs at Once” on page 20.

Can I play back more than one recording at the same time?

No. You can play only one recording at a time.

Can I recover a recording that was erased from the DVR?

No. There is no way to recover a recording that has been erased from the Recorded

30

List screen. You can, however, copy programs to a VCR tape before they are erased. For details, see “Copy a Recording to a VCR Tape” on page 25.

Can I use PIP while copying a program to my VCR?

When copying a program to a VCR, the PIP screen displays what is being copied to the VCR. You cannot use PIP to watch another program while copying a program to a VCR, but you can change channels in the main screen.

Can I record two programs at the same time and watch a live program on another channel?

another channel

No. If you are recording two programs and try tuning to another channel, the DVR displays the message shown here. But you can watch either of the two channels you are recording, or you can play back a recording and watch it.

If, while recording two programs, you try to tune to another channel, the DVR displays a Channel Change Notice to let you know that you must stop a recording to change channels. For details, see “Recording and Watching Programs” on page 20.

What happens if a sports event that I scheduled to record goes into overtime?

The DVR cannot determine whether a live program will end at its scheduled time. If there is a chance that the event you are recording may continue past its scheduled time, you can allow for this uncertainty by extending the stop time on the Confirm Recording screen.

Do my Parental Controls in the IPG carry over to DVR recordings?

Yes. If you block programs by channel or rating in the General Settings menu, recordings of these programs also are blocked. They will be recorded, but to play them back, you must enter your 4-digit PIN.

Can I erase part of a recording?

No. The DVR erases the entire recording.

At the end of the program playback, the DVR started playing the recording again from the beginning. Why?

To prevent screen burn, the DVR prevents graphics and a still image from being displayed for too long. The Playback Status screen displays when a recording ends. If this screen is shown for 5 minutes, the DVR begins playing the recording again from the beginning.

When the digital receiver is in Power Save mode, will the programs that I have scheduled to record still be recorded?

Yes. Any scheduled recording will occur when the digital receiver is in Power-Save
mode. Between 1:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. daily, your digital receiver automatically
enters Power Save mode unless you press a key on the remote or a key on the digital receiver front panel at least once every two hours. In Power Save mode, the
digital receiver is powered down, but all scheduled recordings still occur. When
the digital receiver enters Power Save mode, your TV displays a black screen.
Also, the digital receiver turns on all of your Parental Controls whenever you power down the digital receiver.

31

At 1:00 a.m., the inactivity clock begins. If you do not press a remote button or front panel key between 1:00 a.m. and 1:10 a.m., the digital receiver displays a 5-minute warning banner, indicating that the digital receiver is about to enter Power Save mode:

  • To allow the digital receiver to enter Power Save mode, do nothing when the
    warning banner appears. The digital receiver automatically powers down. After your digital receiver powers down, you must press [ CABLE ] and then [ POWER ] on your remote, or press the Power button on the front panel of your digital receiver, to start watching TV again.
  • To prevent the digital receiver from entering Power Save mode, simply press any button on your remote or any button on the front panel of the digital receiver when the warning banner appears. The digital receiver does not attempt to enter Power Save mode again until another 2 hours of inactivity have passed.

I watched two 30-minute programs on the same channel, but when I pressed [ RECORD ], the DVR recorded only the most recent program. Why didn’t it record both programs since it buffered both programs?

It recorded the most recent program because it was the live program at the time that you pressed [ RECORD ]. The DVR does buffer all programs on a channel for up to 1 hour. However, when you are watching live programming, the DVR assumes that you want to record a specific program, not a specific channel. For that reason, the DVR records only the program that is currently being broadcast at the time that you press [ RECORD ].

For example, let’s say that you tune to a channel for 45 minutes and during that time watch a 30-minute “My Name Is Earl” episode, and then you watch the first 15 minutes of “The Office.” You can rewind to the beginning of “My Name Is Earl,” but if you press [ RECORD ], the DVR records only “The Office” because that is the live program at the time you pressed [ RECORD ].

Why did the DVR record only part of a program?

If the beginning of the program is missing, you may have started recording the program after it began. For an explanation of how live TV is recorded, see page 19.

If the end of the program is missing, the DVR may have reached its storage capacity, the program may have continued past its scheduled time, or you may have manually stopped the recording.

If there is a chance that the program you are recording may continue past its scheduled time, you can allow for this uncertainty by extending the stop time on the Confirm Recording screen.

To determine why the entire program was not recorded, display the Recorded List
screen and select the program in question. The Information area in the upper left of the Recorded List screen indicates one of the following reasons:

  • User stopped recording early.
  • Reached storage capacity.

32

If the DVR has reached its storage capacity, you must make space to record other
programs. To make more space on the DVR:

  1. Erase recordings that you no longer want, or copy recordings you want to keep to a VCR tape and then erase them from the DVR. For details, see “Erase a Program” on page 22 or “Copy a Recording to a VCR Tape” on page 25.
  2. Turn Auto Erase on. Your oldest recordings are erased automatically if space is needed. For details, see “Automatically Erasing Oldest Recordings” on page 24. If a show starts at 7:58 rather than 8:00, the start time for that program can be modified in record LIST.

Questions About Watching, Recording and Playing Back HD Programs

Are local TV stations broadcasting in high-definition (HD)?

Many local TV stations are transmitting digital signals. However, transmitting a digital signal does not mean transmitting an HD signal. Most stations, however, that are broadcasting in digital are offering HD programs from their parent stations, such as CBS, ABC, NBC, Fox, TNT or PBS.

What are the differences between standard-definition TVs (SDTV) and high-definition TVs (HDTV)?

  • HDTVs can be 1/3 wider than traditional TVs, although some HDTVs have a traditional (4:3 aspect ratio) setting.
  • HDTVs use a much finer resolution to create the TV picture — 1125 lines for HD as compared with 525 lines used in an SDTV. This means that the resolution for HDTVs can be up to 1920 x 1080 pixels as compared with 720 x 480 for SDTVs.
  • In the United States, high-definition is always broadcast with digital signals.
    Standard-definition is currently broadcast in both digital and analog. (However, highdefinition and digital standard-definition do not use the same digital signal.)
  • Generally, all HD-ready monitors or integrated HDTV sets are capable of
    supporting a standard-definition 480i or 480p signal. Not all HDTV monitors support both 720p and 1080i high-definition signals. For instance, some plasma displays support only 720p.

I have a wide-screen HDTV and am tuned to a channel that is listed as an HD channel, but the picture is not displayed in a wide-screen format. What’s wrong?

The program may not be an HD program. Not all stations broadcast HD programs. Because non-HD programs do not use a wide format, the picture does not fill the width of the screen. To fill the space, the digital receiver automatically places bars on the sides of non-HD programs. You can change this display to one that removes the bars and fills the screen with the picture.

33

I’m concerned about burn in. Can I remove the bars that display when watching certain programs on my HDTV?

Yes. You can remove the bars and enlarge or stretch the picture to fill the screen. If you have a standard-screen HDTV, you might try removing the bars by displaying the program in a different picture format.

Burn in or “ghosting” occurs when an image is displayed on a TV for an extended
period of time. Through time, the image becomes permanently burned into the screen, leaving a faint image of it on the screen. Some kinds of HDTVs are more susceptible to burn in than others. For other ways to reduce burn in, refer to the user’s guide that came with your HDTV.
