6 Enter 9 - 8 - 2. The CBL key will blink twice, indicating ID Lock is again locked.
E-3
Programming “Tune-In” Keys for Specific Channels
The Atlas Universal Remote Control includes three “Tune-In” keys (located directly below the MUTE and LAST keys). Each can be programmed to remember three of your favorite cable channel settings for a total of nine channels. If you want to change the cable channels in a previouslyprogrammed “Tune-In” key, you’ll need to clear the key first.
To Program A “Tune-In” Key:
1 On the remote control, press CBL once; it will blink once. Then press and hold SETUP until the CBL key blinks twice, then release SETUP.
2 Enter 9 - 9 - 5. The CBL key will blink twice. Then select a “Tune-In”key and press it once.
3 Press CBL once followed by the channel number to be programmed (e.g., 3 - 9).
NOTE: If you are programming a channel for a Digital Cable Converter, you need to enter all channels in a 3-digit channel format. For example, if the desired channel is 39, then enter it as
0 - 3 - 9.
4 Press and hold SETUP until the CBL key blinks twice, then release SETUP.
5 To add another channel, repeat steps 1 through 4, substituting the new channel to be added in step 3.
NOTE: Programming more than three channels on the same “Tune-In” key will overwrite previous settings.
To Clear A “Tune-In” Key:
1 On the remote control, press CBL once; it will blink once. Then press and hold SETUP until the CBL key blinks twice, then release SETUP.
2 Enter 9 - 9 - 5. The CBL key will blink twice. Then select a “Tune-In”key you want to clear and press it once.
3 Press and hold SETUP until the CBL key blinks twice, then release SETUP.
4 This “Tune-In” key is now clear and ready for reprogramming. If desired, repeat steps 1 though 3 in this section to clear another “Tune-In” key.

Re-Assigning Device Keys
The Atlas Universal Remote Control can be set up to control a second device.
For example, to have the unit control a TV, a Cable Converter, and two
DVD Players, you will need to re-assign the unused AUX key to operate the second DVD Player as follows:
NOTE: AUX is preset at the factory to control an RCA VCR. Performing the below steps will overwrite those settings.
1 On the remote control, press AUX once; it will blink once. Then press and hold SETUP until the AUX key blinks twice, then release SETUP.
2 Enter 9 - 9 - 2. The AUX key will blink twice.
3 Press DVD once, then press AUX once. The AUX key will blink twice.
4 The AUX key is now ready to be programmed for your second DVD player.
To re-assign other device keys, repeat steps 1 through 4 and substitute the key sequence using the following chart:

To Re-Assign Perform Key Sequence
AUX as 2nd AUD key: AUX - SETUP - 9 - 9 - 2 - AUD - AUX
AUX as 2nd TV key: AUX - SETUP - 9 - 9 - 2 - TV - AUX
AUX as 2nd CBL key: AUX - SETUP - 9 - 9 - 2 - CBL - AUX
AUX back to AUX: AUX - SETUP - 9 - 9 - 2 - AUX - AUX
To re-assign another unused device key, substitute it for the AUX key above and then perform the sequence. For example, to re-assign an unused AUD key as a second DVD key, perform AUD - SETUP - 9 - 9 - 2 - DVD - AUD.
When a re-assignment is done, the selected device key (e.g., AUD) will blink twice to confirm your choice.
Changing Volume Lock
On this remote control, Global Volume Lock is set to TV, so you can control
TV volume while in the AUX, DVD, TV or CBL mode. If desired, you can still perform Individual Volume Unlock on a selected device to set its volume control for independent operation.
NOTE: The audio mode’s volume controls are active regardless of Volume Lock settings. However, if you lock the volume controls to the AUD mode, you will have control of the audio device’s volume in all other modes (i.e., AUX, DVD, TV, and
CBL).
E-5
To Unlock Volume Control For A Single Device
(Individual Volume Unlock):
1 Assuming Global Volume Lock is active, select a mode on the remote control that you want to unlock (e.g.,CBL) and press it once. Next, press and hold SETUP until the device key blinks twice, then release SETUP.
2 Enter 9 - 9 - 3. The last-selected device key will blink twice.
3 Press VOL- once. The last-selected device key will blink four times.
4 Repeat steps 1 through 3 (of this section) for each device you want volume to be unlocked.
5 Now, after you select a device that has volume unlocked (e.g., CBL), pressing
VOL+, VOL-, or MUTE will control the device’s volume only in its own mode.

(Global Volume Unlock):
NOTE: Performing these instructions will set independent volume control for all programmed devices.
1 On the remote control, press and hold SETUP until the last-selected device key blinks twice, then release SETUP.
2 Enter 9 - 9 - 3. The last-selected device key will blink twice.
3 Press VOL+ once. The last-selected device key will blink four times.
To Lock Volume Control To One Mode
(Global Volume Lock):
NOTE: The audio mode’s volume controls are active regardless of Volume Lock settings. However, if you lock the volume controls to the AUD mode, you will have control of the audio device’s volume in all other modes (i.e., AUX, DVD, TV, and
CBL).
1 On the remote control, press and hold SETUP until the last-selected device key blinks twice, then release SETUP.
2 Enter 9 - 9 - 3. The last-selected device key will blink twice.

We’ve included everything you’ll need to hook up your new WOW! Digital
Cable service, including all the equipment and step-by-step, easy-to-follow instructions.
Digital Cable Self-Start Checklist
Please go through the contents of this kit and familiarize yourself with each item. If any equipment is missing please call WOW! toll free at 1-866-4WOW-
NOW (1-866-496-9669).
The Digital Cable Self-Start kit contains:
Digital Cable Receiver
Digital Remote Control (with batteries)
Receiver Power Cord
(2) 4ft. Cable (Coaxial) Cords
(1) 5ft. Cable (Coaxial) Cord
1 RCA Cord (Video/Audio Cable)
Digital Cable Receiver
Getting Started
IMPORTANT! Please review the “Important Rules for Safe Operation” section on page 56.
Step 1: Disconnect Your Digital Adapter (existing cable box)
If you do not currently have a Digital Adapter connected, please proceed to
Step 2.
• Turn off your Digital Adapter, TV and VCR.
• Unplug the Digital Adapter from the power source (wall electrical outlet).
• Unscrew and remove the main cable cord from the input plug on the back of your
Digital Adapter (the other end of this cable cord should come from your wall/floor).
• Unscrew and disconnect the cable from the output plug on the back of your Digital
Adapter (the other end of this cable cord should still be connected to your TV or
VCR).
Your Digital Adapter is now disconnected and safe to remove.
Step 2: Position the Digital Cable Receiver
• Take your new Digital Cable receiver out of the kit, remove any plastic wrapping, and place it where you’d like it to go in close proximity to your TV and VCR.
• Make sure you have enough room to make the necessary connections in the back of the receiver.
The Digital Cable Receiver
E-13
Step 3: Connect the Digital Cable Receiver
• Determine the type of TV and VCR you have (stereo or non-stereo). If you have either a stereo TV or VCR please proceed to Step 3a; if not, please continue.
• Plug the main cable cord (coming from the wall/floor) into the “Cable In” outlet on the back of your Digital Cable receiver (receiver diagram Position 3, page E-13).
• Take the cable (coaxial) cord still connected to the TV/VCR and insert into the “Cable
Out” outlet on the back of your Digital Cable receiver (receiver diagram Position 2, page E-13).
If you do not have a Digital Adapter:
From your kit, gather the 3 cable cords. There are two different lengths.
Choose the cord that will best reach between the Digital Cable receiver and your TV/VCR.
If you are connecting a TV with a VCR:
• Take one cable (coaxial) cord and insert one end into the “Cable Out” outlet of the Digital Cable receiver and the other end into the “In” outlet of the VCR.
• Take another cable (coaxial) cord and insert one end into the “Out” outlet of the VCR and the other end into the “Cable/Antenna” outlet of the TV. (See “Advanced Equipment Setup”, page E-16, Diagram B).
If you are connecting a TV only:
• Take one cable (coaxial) cord and insert one end into the cable/ antenna outlet on the TV and the other end into the “Cable Out” outlet on the Digital Cable receiver.
(See “Advanced Equipment Setup”, page E-16, Diagram A).
• In your installation kit, find the power cord and plug it into the 120V AC outlet on the back of the Digital Cable receiver (receiver diagram Position 4, page E-13). If your
Digital Receiver already has a power cord attached, leave outlet empty.
• Take the other end of the power cord and plug it into the power source (electrical outlet). A series of codes will appear on the front panel then the green bypass button should light up.
• Wait for the time to display on the front panel of the Digital Cable receiver (about 2 minutes).
NOTE: If you have a more advanced setup, please refer to additional connection diagrams in “Advanced Equipment Setup,” on pages E-16 to E-17.
You are now ready to turn on your system.
• Manually turn on your TV. Tune to Channel 3 (Channel 4 in Cleveland).
• Press the POWER button on your Digital Cable receiver. You should now have a clear picture on your TV. If you don’t have a clear picture, please see “Digital Cable Receiver
Setup Troubleshooting” on page E-18.
Step 3a: Stereo TV/VCR Connection
You will need to follow the steps below if you have a stereo TV or VCR.
• Find the RCA Cord in your Self-Start kit. The RCA Cord is the cable with three colored prongs at the end: yellow for Video In/Out, white for Audio In/Out L and red for
Audio In/Out R.
E-14
If you are connecting a stereo TV and a non-stereo VCR:
• Take one end of the RCA cord and plug into the Audio Out R (red), Audio Out L
(white) and Video Out (yellow) outlets on the back of the Digital Cable receiver.
• Plug the other end of the RCA cord into the Video In (yellow), Audio In L (white), and
Audio In R (red) outlets on the back of your TV. (See “Advanced Equipment Setup”, page E-17, Diagram E).
If you are connecting a stereo TV and a stereo VCR:
IMPORTANT: You will need two RCA cords to complete this setup. You may purchase an additional RCA cord at any electronics store.
• Take one of the RCA cords and plug into the Audio Out R (red), Audio Out L (white) and Video Out (yellow) outlets on the back of the Digital Cable receiver.
• Plug the other end of the same RCA cord into the Video In (yellow), Audio In L
(white) and Audio In R (red) outlets on the back of your VCR.
• Take the second RCA cord and plug into the Audio Out R (red), Audio Out L (white) and Video Out (yellow) outlets on the back of your VCR.
• Plug the other end of the second RCA cord into the Video In (yellow), Audio In
L (white), and Audio In R (red) outlets on the back of your TV. (See “Advanced
Equipment Setup”, page E-17 Diagram F).
NOTE: You will not need to use any other cable cords for setting up the Digital
Cable receiver.
• Plug the main cable cord (coming from the wall/floor) into the Cable In outlet on the back of your Digital Cable receiver.
• Take the cable cord still connected to the TV/VCR and insert into the Cable Out outlet on the back of your Digital Cable receiver (only if you did not use two RCA cords or an S-Video cable in your setup).
• In your installation kit, find the power cord and plug it into the 120V AC outlet on the back of the Digital Cable receiver (receiver diagram Position 4, page E-13).
• Take the other end of the power cord and plug it into the power source (wall/electrical outlet). A series of codes will appear on the front panel then the green bypass button should light up.
• Wait for the time to display on the front panel of the Digital Cable receiver (about 2 minutes).
NOTE: If you have a more advanced setup, please refer to additional connection diagrams in “Advanced Equipment Setup” on pages E-16 and E-17.
You are now ready to turn on your system.
• Manually turn on your TV and your VCR. Tune your TV to Video 1 or Line In.
• Tune your VCR to Channel 3 (Channel 4 in Cleveland).
• Press the POWER button on your Digital Cable receiver. You should now have a clear picture on your TV. If you don’t have a clear picture, please see Digital Cable Receiver
Troubleshooting on page E-18.

Digital Cable Receiver Setup Troubleshooting
Please walk through the troubleshooting solutions below if you do not have a picture, have a distorted picture, have no sound, or your Digital Cable receiver does not respond.
No Picture
• Turn the TV on.
• Tune the TV to channel 3 (channel 4 in Cleveland) or Video 1, Line 1 if you used an
RCA cord.
• Check to see if your TV, VCR and Digital Cable receiver are plugged into an electrical outlet that is controlled by a wall switch. If it is, make sure the switch is turned on.
• Verify that all cable cords are properly connected. You may want to walk through your connection diagram again.
• If you are using an RCA cord, make sure the VCR is on (set to Video 1 or Line 1).
Distorted Picture or Picture “Ghosting”
• Tune the TV to channel 3 (channel 4 in Cleveland) or Video 1, Line 1 if you used an
RCA cord.
• Verify that all cable cords are properly connected and tightened. You may want to walk through your connection diagram again.
No Sound
• Check to make sure the volume is turned up on both the TV and the Digital Receiver.
• Press the TV button then the mute button. Verify that neither the mute button nor the
SAP feature is activated.
• Review all suggestions from “No Picture”above.
Digital Cable Receiver Does not Respond
• Check to see if your TV, VCR and Digital Cable receiver are plugged into an electrical outlet that is controlled by a wall switch. If so, make sure the switch is turned on.
• Verify that all cable cords are properly connected.
• Press the POWER button on the Digital Cable receiver.
If the Remote Control Isn’t Working
This is usually because the remote control needs new batteries. Replace the existing batteries with two new AAA batteries. The Atlas remote (shown on page C-3) uses two AA batteries.
IMPORTANT: Replace batteries within 2 minutes of removing old ones to avoid losing programmed settings.
If you are still experiencing problems, please contact WOW! toll free at
1-866-4WOW-NOW (1-866-496-9669).

Programming Your Digital Cable Remote Control
The Digital Remote Control is a universal remote designed to operate the features of the Digital Cable receiver. Plus, it can be programmed to control most of the basic functions of many TVs, VCRs and other devices. Inspect the front of the Digital Remote. Across the top are four buttons labeled
CBL, TV, VCR, AUX (for DVDs, stereos, etc.). Pressing any of these buttons will determine which device is being controlled. The CBL button has already been pre-programmed to control the Digital Cable receiver. You will now be instructed, step-by-step, how to program the TV and VCR functions.
1 Check the brand names of all the devices you will be connecting to your Digital Cable system (TV, VCR, DVD, etc.). You will need the 3-digit code to program your devices.
Find the codes for each device on the following pages. Write your codes here for quick reference:
TV VCR OTHER
2 Repeat the following steps to program each of your devices (TV, VCR, DVD, etc.).
• Turn on the device that you want to program (using the ON/OFF button on the front of the device).
• Press the specific device button (TV, VCR, AUX) on the remote and the SELECT button at the same time and hold for 4 seconds (the device button on the remote will light up to indicate it’s ready for programming).
• Point the Digital Remote toward the device you are programming and enter the first 3-digit code on the list for that device using the keypad number buttons. If the device is still on, try the next code listed for your brand. Continue entering codes, one at a time, until your device turns off.
• Store the code by pressing the device button on the remote again (the device button on the remote will blink twice to confirm the code has been stored).
To Program Your Remote to Power On Multiple Devices At Once
(Power Macro)
1 Push the CBL button on the remote.
2 Simultaneously hold down SEL and ON/OFF until the CBL button lights up.
3 Press the device button(s) that you want to turn on (i.e. TV, VCR, and/or AUX).
4 Press the ON/OFF button.
5 Press the CH + button to store the information. Now when you press and hold down the ON/OFF button, all the devices that are programmed in will power on simultaneously.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far back can I rewind live TV?
The length of time you can rewind live TV depends on how long you have been watching a single channel. Each time you change channels, a new copy is stored to the built-in recorder. If you have been watching the same channel for 15 minutes, you can rewind for 15 minutes.
Can I record the video in the PIP screen?
Yes, but swap it into the Main screen first. After pressing RECORD and confirming the recording, you can swap it back into the PIP screen and it will continue recording. You can also press the dedicated PIP OFF key and the video will continue to record.
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.
How will I know the Digital Video Recorder is almost out of recording space?
When you are viewing the list of your recorded programs, press the “B”
(Preferences) button. This will show you how much recording space has been used.
Can you playback more than one recording?
No, you cannot playback more than one recording at a time.
What happens if my Digital Video Recorder loses power temporarily?
Everything you have recorded is saved, based on the save time selected in the Edit Recording screen. Your scheduled recordings during the time the
Digital Video Recorder lost power are the only recordings you may miss.
Do my Program Guide Parental Controls carry over to DVR recordings?
Yes, if you block programs by channel or rating in General Settings, those settings are carried over to DVR recordings. For example, if you decide to block all R-rated programs in General Settings, the R-rated programs will still be recorded, but you cannot play them back until you enter the correct PIN.
Do I need my remote control to set or playback a recording?
No, you can use the front panel of the Digital Video Recorder to schedule a recording from the program guide, or press the LIST key to access and playback your recorded programs.
Can I copy recorded programs to a VCR?
Yes. Simply choose Copy to VCR from the Recorded Program Options menu and follow the onscreen instructions to record to your VCR. (Note: WOW! does not provide the cables for this type of connection, please refer to your
VCR manual for the correct cables to use with your VCR).
Can I record only new episodes of my favorite show?
Yes. Just choose New first-run episodes on this channel from the Recording
Options menu to record new episodes only.
Why do I have to power on my DVR each morning?
The DVR has a power saving mode. Between 1:15 am and 6:00 am the DVR will enter a power saving mode if it is inactive. This will not affect the scheduled recordings that may be set.
Will the DVR automatically erase programs I have recorded?
The DVR can be set to auto erase the oldest programs that are recorded if desired.
To turn this feature on, access the Preferences menu and select Turn ON Auto-Erase.

Wiring a HD Receiver
The following 2 diagrams display how a HD Receiver should be connected to a HDTV.
HDTV Formats
Most HDTVs include YPbPr connectors for component video inputs, and your
HD Set-Top includes a YPbPr cable for these inputs. However, some HDTVs only have RGB inputs. If you have one of these HDTVs, you may need an RGB adapter. Check with us for information about receiving an RGB adapter. Also, some SDRVs include YPbPr inputs. Your HD set-top will function correctly with these inputs only when outputting in 480i mode.
E-29
Audio Output
To hear stereo sound, you must do one of the following:
• Connect stereo audio cables from the AUDIO OUT LEFT and RIGHT connectors on the set-top to the AUDIO IN LEFT and RIGHT connectors on your HDTV.
• Connect an RCA cable from the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT on your set-top to the
DIGITAL AUDIO IN on your HDTV (if equipped) or stereo receiver.
In addition, you may also connect an S-Video cable from the S-VIDEO OUT connector on the set-top to the S-VIDEO connector on the HDTV or VCR.
However, the S-VIDEO connection does not supply audio. You must also use audio cables with the S-Video cable.
If you connect the set-top to your HDTV using only the coaxial cable at the
CABLE OUT connection, your HDTV will not receive stereo sound from your set-top.
Note: S-Video and coaxial cables only deliver SDTV programming. They do not deliver HDTV programming.

Programming Your Remote
Program your remote to sync with your TV model.
1.
Get remote instructions manual from self-install kit. Find the brand name and 3-digit device code number of your TV. For example, Panasonic TV: 005, 006, 007, 008.

Confirm the batteries are correctly inserted in the remote.
4.
Press and hold the “Set” button. Then, while holding down “Set”, press the Power button. The LED light will turn red, indicating the remote is in program mode. Release both buttons.

Digital Adapter Troubleshooting
How do I program my VCR to record using a WOW! Digital Adapter?
To record a program using your Digital Adapter and VCR:
1.
Set your VCR to record channel 3 (4 in Cleveland) for the time the program is airing.
2.
Tune the Digital Adapter to the channel you want to record.
The VCR can only record the channel that your Digital Adapter is tuned to.
To record different programs at different times, you will need to change the channel on your Digital Adapter.
My Digital Adapter takes too long to change the channels. What can you do about that?
We understand that the experience may be different from what you are used to. Unfortunately, there may be a slight delay when you are changing channels as the Adapter works to tune from one digital signal to the next.
My Digital Adapter remote stopped working, loses its programming or won’t power off/on.
If your remote loses its programmed codes, try replacing the batteries with high quality Alkaline batteries. When replacing the batteries, try not to push any buttons, and the codes should remain intact.
