CAUTION

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

DO NOT OPEN

AVIS

Note to CATV System Installer

(USA/Canada Only)

This reminder is provided to call the CATV

system installer's attention to Article 820-40

of the NEC (Section 54, Part I of the Canadian

Electrical Code), that provides guidelines for

proper grounding and, in particular,

specifies that the CATV cable ground shall

be connected to the grounding system of

the building, as close to the point of cable

entry as practical.

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric

shock, do not remove cover (or back).

No user-serviceable parts inside. Refer

servicing to qualified service personnel.

This symbol is intended to alert you of the

presence of important operating and

maintenance (servicing) instructions in the

literature accompanying this product.

This symbol is intended to alert you that

uninsulated voltage within this product may

have sufficient magnitude to cause electric shock.

Therefore, it is dangerous to make any kind of

contact with any inside part of this product.

WARNING

TO PREVENT FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK,

DO NOT EXPOSE THIS UNIT TO RAIN OR

MOISTURE.

Object and Liquid Entry

Never push objects of any kind into this product through

openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or

short out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock.

Do not expose this set-top to rain or moisture. Do not

place this set-top on a wet surface. Do not spill liquids on

or near this set-top.

Power Sources

A label on this set-top indicates the correct power source for

this set-top. Operate this set-top only from an electrical outlet

that has the voltage and frequency that the label indicates.

If you are unsure of the type of power supply to your

residence, consult your cable service provider or your

local power company.

Power Cord Polarization

This set-top has a two-prong plug. Properly ground

(earth) this set-top by inserting the plug into a grounded

electrical, two-socket outlet. If this plug is polarized, 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 your obsolete outlet.

Servicing

Do not open the cover of this set-top. If you open the

cover, your warranty will be void. Refer all servicing to

qualified personnel only. Contact your cable service

provider for instructions.

Damage that Requires Service

For damage that requires service, unplug this set-top

from the electrical outlet. Refer to qualified personnel

when any of the following occurs:

• There is damage to the power cord or plug

• Liquid enters the set-top

• There is exposure to rain or water

• Operation is not normal (the instructions in this guide

describe the proper operation)

• If you drop this set-top, or damage the cabinet of this

set-top

• If this set-top exhibits a distinct change in performance

Upon completion of any service or repairs to this set-top,

the service technician will perform safety checks to

determine that the equipment is in proper operating

condition.

Safety Compliance Statements,continued

CAUTION:

To prevent electric shock, match wide

blade of plug to the wide slot, and then fully

insert.

WARNING:

Avoid electric shock and fire hazard. Never

push objects through openings in this set-

top. These objects can cause electrical shorts

that can result in electric shock or fire. Do not

expose this set-top to rain or moisture. Do

not place objects filled with liquid (such as

vases) on this set-top.

Accessories

Do not use accessories with this set-top unless

recommended by your cable service provider.

Overloading

Do not overload electrical outlets, extension cords, or

integral convenience receptacles, as this can result in a

risk of fire or electric shock. For equipment that requires

battery power or other sources to operate, refer to the

operating instructions for that equipment.

Lightning and Power Surges

Ground (earth) your cable system to provide some

protection against voltage surges and built-up static

charges. Plug your set-top into a surge protector to

reduce the risk of damage from lightning strikes and

power surges. If you have questions, call your cable

service provider.

Power Cord Protection

Arrange all power cords so that people cannot walk on

the cords, place objects on the cords, or place objects

against the cords, which can damage the cords. Give

particular attention to the cords at the point at which the

cord connects to the plug, at electrical outlets, and at the

places where the cords exit the set-top.

Change the Way You Watch TV

Use the Explorer® 8300HD™ Digital Video Recorder (DVR) to control live high-definition (HD) and

standard-definition (SD) TV, record TV programs without a VCR, and watch two programs at the same time.

When two of your favorite programs are scheduled at the same time, you can record one program on the

8300HD while watching the other.

With the 8300HD you can watch two programs at the same time, even if your TV does not have picture-in-

picture (PIP) capability.

Follow the instructions in this guide to install the 8300HD, to become familiar with the buttons on the front

panel, and to access your cable services. Then, enjoy the features of the 8300HD and change the way you

watchTV!

Picture Formats

A standard-screen HDTV has a 4:3

aspect ratio. The screen is 4 units

wide for every 3 units tall.

A wide-screen HDTV is one-third

wider than a standard-screen HDTV.

The screen is 16 units wide for every

9 units tall.

What is the Difference Between a Standard Screen and a Wide Screen

The type of screen your HDTV has (wide screen or standard screen) determines how the 8300HD

displays programs on the screen. The picture format for an HDTV is a combination of aspect ratio

and screen resolution and is different for standard-screen and wide-screen HDTVs.

What is Aspect Ratio?

An aspect ratio is the ratio of the width to the height of the TV screen. The aspect ratios differ because the

television industry manufactures both standard-screen and wide-screen HDTVs to appeal to consumer

viewing preferences.

What is the Screen Resolution?

The screen resolution indicates the amount of detail that the picture displays. Resolution is identified by

the number of display lines on the screen. The techniques that an HDTV uses to “paint” the picture on the

screen are referred to as progressive and interlaced.

For example, a resolution of 1080i indicates that the screen shows 1080 lines in an interlaced display,

and 480p indicates that the screens shows 480 lines in a progressive display.

Note: The screen resolution (1080i, 480p, and so forth) is sometimes referred to as the scan rate. The

terms are interchangeable.

With the progressive method, every pixel on the screen is refreshed simultaneously. The interlace

method involves refreshing pixels in alternation — first the odd lines and then the even lines.

A screen resolution of 480p or 480i

fills the screen. A screen resolution of 720p or 1080i

fills the screen.
