IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING THE HDMI INTERFACE ON THE

8300HD

The HDMI interface is designed to automatically configure the audio output for a

format supported by the television or monitor attached to the DVR through the HDMI

connection. This automatic configuration is only performed the first time the DVR is

connected through the HDMI interface to a compatible TV. When the automated

process is finished, the DVR sets the audio output format to either Dolby®Digital or

Other (Linear PCM). The selected format is provided to all digital outputs. As a result,

in cases where the TV does not support Dolby Digital decoding, you may want to

override the automatic setting in order to provide Dolby-formatted content to a Home

Theater Receiver connected to the digital output on the DVR. In addition, if the DVR

is connected to a different TV you may need to manually set the output to a format

that the new TV supports.

To override the automatic configuration or to change the audio output format used

on the HDMI interface, complete the following steps:

1. Press twice. The General Settings menu appears.

2. Press or to select Audio: Digital Out.

3. Press

The Setup Wizard is a program that helps you set up your DVR to provide the best

picture quality that your TV supports. Based on the type of TV you have, the Wizard

allows you to select all picture formats supported by your SDTV or HDTV.

Note: If you are connecting an SD DVR to an SDTV, no setup is required.Skip

this section and go to “Set Parental Control” on page 7.

IMPORTANT! Any time that you change connections on your DVR, you must run the

Setup Wizard again to make sure your TV is receiving its supported picture formats.

This rule does not apply if you are using 1394 connectors.

START THE SETUP WIZARD

1. Press on your remote to place the remote in Cable mode.

Note: For more information about preparing the remote to work with your make

and model of TV, refer to the user’s guide for your remote model.

2. Make sure that the DVR is powered OFF, but still plugged into an active power

outlet, and properly connected to the TV. See “Connect the Explorer DVR to Your

TV” on page 1.

3. Turn the TV ON.

4. Configure the TV to display the input where the DVR is connected (see the user’s

guide for your TV for more information).

5. With the DVR powered OFF, press Guide and Info on the DVR front panel at the

same time. The TV Connection Set-up screen appears (within 20 seconds).

Notes:

• The TV Connection Set-up screen toggles between an HD and SD mode

selection screen until you make a selection. If you do not see video within 30

seconds, check your connections and TV settings.

• The DVR front panel displays either HD or SD while the TV Connection Set-up

screen toggles between HD and SD mode.

• To choose HD mode, press

on the remote to start the setup.
