How do I use High Definition TV?

High Definition Television is not particularly different from standard definition television in its use. The large majority of menus and functions work in exactly the same manner as on a standard Digital Cable Box.

The greatest difference between High Definition and Standard Definition is the initial setup, which is described here.

Your initial setup will depend on the kind of High Definition Box you have. Refer to the pictures below and then make your selection.

Important Message About Your HDTV Use: Some TVs can experience image “Burn-In” if fixed images are displayed for extended periods of time. Consult your TV Manufacturer's documentation & the inside cover of your Digital Cable User Guide for more information.
