CABLE HOOKUPS
Add your digital box to your home entertainment equipment.
There are several ways that you can hook up your digital box to your existing equipment – it just depends on what you have. The
following diagrams demonstrate the order in which you should connect your equipment to your digital box.
DVD/Video Game Console Setup
Most home equipment setups will support the addition of a DVD player. Please note that due to copy protection technology on DVD
players, you cannot connect them through a VCR. You will be able to play DVDs but not record their content.
VCR Setup
If you have a standard VCR and TV (equipment that you can connect via cable, instead of RCA or any other advanced cables), use this
option. This setup allows you to record any channel on your VCR, but it does not allow you to view a different channel while recording.
For additional ways to connect your VCR to your digital box to enable recording, visit RogersDiscover.com to view the How To video on
Connecting your VCR.
NOTES:
• Inputs and outputs can vary based on equipment. Please retain the manufacturer’s documentation as it will have specific connection information for
your home entertainment equipment.
• More information on connecting your digital box to your existing equipment can be found in the Easy Installation Guide that accompanied your
digital box or by visiting RogersDiscover.com/hookups

Aside from recording a show, how can I use a Personal Video Recorder?
For the times when you need to step away from the TV, a PVR is the perfect tool to have. You’re able to pause
and rewind live TV, so it gives you the flexibility to do other things without missing a moment of your program.

PERSONAL VIDEO RECORDER (PVR)
Pause TV, not life.
The PVR is the best thing to have happened to home entertainment. You can control live TV, record one program while watching another on
a different channel and use the Picture-In-Picture feature to watch another show at the same time. It’s just another way that Rogers gives you full
control of your viewing experience.
While you’re watching a TV program, the Rogers PVR stores a digital copy, allowing you to take control of live TV. If you decide to pause or
rewind a program you’re watching, the PVR keeps recording the live program for up to an hour so you won’t miss anything.

How far back can I rewind live TV?
You can rewind up to one hour of live TV, depending on how long
you have been tuned to the program you want to rewind. Each time
you change channels, a new copy is stored in the built-in recorder. For
example, if you’ve been watching the same channel for 15 minutes,
you can rewind that 15 minutes of programming.
For more information on connecting your VCR, go to page 23 or
visit RogersDiscover.com/hookups
What happens if my digital PVR box temporarily
loses power?
Read through the information on page 45 for details on using the
Picture-In-Picture feature.
Everything you have recorded prior to losing power will be saved.
However, recordings you have scheduled while the digital PVR
box is without power will not be recorded for the duration of the
power loss. Scheduled recordings will resume once the power has
been restored.
What does the red light mean on the front of the Rogers
digital PVR box?
Why is my PVR not recording every episode of my favourite
program?
When the red light is on, a show is currently being recorded.
It could be that your favourite program’s title changes slightly
from week to week. Such things as (HD) or other variances in the
title will make the PVR think it is a different show and will not
record it.
How do I use/activate the Picture-in-Picture feature?
Does my digital PVR box need to be powered on to
record programs?
No. As long as your digital PVR box is plugged in, it will record
programs you have scheduled to record, regardless of whether it
is turned on or off.
Can I copy PVR recordings to my VCR?
Yes. Provided that you do not infringe copyright laws and you have
correctly connected your VCR to your digital box. Once your VCR is
set up correctly, you can play back the program through your digital
PVR box and record the program on your VCR.

HIGH DEFINITION TV
ing
What equipment do I need to view HD programs?
You will need either a High Definition or High Definition-ready
television. You will also need a Rogers High Definition digital box.
How do I know if a program is available in HD?
The majority of HD channels are located in the 500 series.
How do I avoid burn-in with my HDTV?
Burn-in can occur when a fixed image is displayed for a long period
on your HD screen. For more information, see page 38.
How do I use the stretch and zoom functions of the HDTV
digital box?
Press
on the remote to toggle through the stretch options.
Why do some of the programs on my High Definition TV look
sharper than others?
Even though your TV is high definition, you can still watch
non-high definition programming. It could be that you are actually
watching a standard definition show, which will make the picture
seem less sharp than you’re used to with high definition.
Please verify that you are watching a high definition channel, found
in the 500’s series in your Program Guide.
