Don’t have picture or sound, but TV and receiver are both turned on?

1 . Press TV on your remote control .

2 . Press TV/VIDEO to see TV programming .

If you’re still having trouble with your Internet, TV and Voice services, try resetting your TV receiver or residential/wireless

Router by unplugging it from the power outlet in the wall .

Note: Unplugging the TV receiver or residential/Wi-Fi Router will interrupt any recordings in progress.

If the trouble is with only one TV:

1 . Turn off the receiver connected to that TV and unplug it .

2 . Wait at least two minutes before plugging the receiver back in . Turn it on and retry what you want to do .

If the trouble is with more than one TV, or with Internet or Voice service:

(See below for alternate reset .)

2 . Wait at least two minutes, then plug the residential/Wi-Fi

Router back in and retry what you want to do . It may take up to ten minutes for the Router to reset .

Alternate reset: If your service is supported with a Home

Network Hub and Power Supply Unit (PSU with battery backup), then you will need to press the Reset button on the left side of the PSU to reset VantageTV service . The PSU may be located in the garage or a closet near an outside wall .

Program Your Remote to Control Up to Four Devices

During installation, the STB button was set up to control your

Frontier HD-ready receiver . You can also control a TV plus up to two other devices such as a DVD player, stereo receiver or home theater in a box by programming the TV , DVD and AUX mode buttons . Once the devices are programmed, press the corresponding mode key on the remote to control that device .

Note: The instructions on page 6 don’t require you to enter a manufacturer’s device code because most codes are stored in the VantageTV remote control’s memory. If you’re unable to add a device, or want to learn about advanced features like reassigning mode buttons, refer to the remote’s manual provided at installation.

How to assign devices to TV-DVD-AUX mode buttons:

1 . Power on the device to be programmed .

2 . Point the remote control at the selected device .

3 . Press and hold the mode key that matches the device you want to program ( TV , DVD or AUX ) along with the ENTER key .

Hold both keys for one second, then release . The four mode keys on the remote control flash twice to indicate you are in search mode .

4 . Search by pressing the SCAN/FF key repeatedly until the device turns OFF (the selected mode key will flash once for each press of the SCAN/FF key) . Pause briefly between each key press to allow your device enough time to respond .

Visit Frontier.com for more information

5 . Press the POWER button on the remote control to turn the device back on .

If the device does not turn off and you have searched all available codes, the selected mode key will flash eight times. If this happens, please start over.

Note: If the device does not turn on, you may have pressed the

SCAN/FF key too many times. Press the REW/SCAN key to scan backwards and test the POWER button again.

6 . Check VOLUME and MUTE . Do not test using REW/SCAN ,

SCAN/FF , FWD or EXIT . If there is any problem with any of the keys, press the SCAN/FF button and search until you find a code that will operate all the functions properly .

7 . Press the ENTER key to save the programming . The appropriate mode key will give a long flash, indicating successful programming .

Note: If the programming is interrupted or inactive for more than

30 seconds, the mode keys will flash eight times. This indicates the remote has left the programming mode and returned to normal operation without saving any changes.

If you have an integrated or combination unit such as TV-DVD,

TV-DVD-VCR, etc., each component of the unit may need to be programmed separately by using the mode keys. For instance, for a TV-DVD, search for the device code of TV and program into the TV mode key, then search for the device code of DVD and program into the DVD mode key.

Want more help?

Check the remote’s user manual provided at installation, or watch Help On Demand on TV: Press MENU , select Help , then Help On Demand to see all program titles .

Change Your TV’s Input Selection to Match Its Video Source

If you’re unable to see TV programs on your screen, first try pressing the TV/VIDEO button on your remote control to change from Video 1 to Video 2 or Video 3 . These separate video inputs (Video 1, Video 2 and Video 3) must match the incoming video source—the receiver, DVD player or other device connected to the TV . If this doesn’t solve the problem, depending on how your devices are connected, it may be that the TV’s input selection does not correspond to the input of the VantageTV receiver . See three examples of how to connect the HD-ready receiver to your HDTV set on page 42 and 43 .

Visit Frontier.com for more information 41

Check Device Connections for Your TV

TV screen menus and port configurations vary . Most devices have ports that require one or more of the cables shown below .

The manuals for your devices will have specific directions .

(VIDEO OUT)

To connect your Frontier HD-ready receiver to your HDTV set, the connection is generally HDMI to HDMI (the highest quality video/audio connection) . You can also use color-coded component RCA cables (some HDTV sets do not have an HDMI port) that deliver audio/video signals from the receiver and plug into matching audio/video RCA inputs on the back of your HDTV set . If you’ve connected your TV input using Composite (yellow connector), S-Video or Coaxial, you won’t get an HD picture . HD is supported only via HDMI or Component (red/green/blue) . The same holds true for Dolby ® Digital 5 .1 surround sound, which is available only via HDMI or TOS Link (optical) . The Baseband (red and white connectors) delivers sound only in stereo .

Check to See if the TV Recognizes Your Video Inputs Correctly

Many newer TVs have an auto-detection system that will automatically detect equipment connected to the various ports on the TV . However, some TVs have to be configured manually .

To change the video input selection manually, press TV/VIDEO on your remote control to locate the video input menu for your specific TV .

The video input menu screen shows checkboxes next to devices the TV is detecting . This menu must match the inputs on the back of the TV where video components are connected in order to correspond with Video 1, Video 2 or Video 3 on your remote control . Follow the screen prompts to check/uncheck boxes for your devices .
