Object and Liquid Entry  
Grounding  
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 liquid or  
moisture. Do not place this set-top on a wet surface. Do  
not spill liquids on or near this set-top.  
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.  
Accessories  
Do not use accessories with this set-top unless  
recommended by Scientific-Atlanta.  
CAUTION:  
To prevent electric shock, match wide blade of  
plug to the wide slot, and then fully insert.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
Damage that Requires Service  
For damage that requires service, unplug this set-top  
from the electrical outlet. Refer to the “Limited  
Warranty” at the end of this guide if your set-top does  
not operate when plugged into your electrical outlet  
and connected to the cable television outlet.  
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.  
Screen Burn-In Warning  
WARNING:  
Be careful not to display the same fixed images  
on your HDTV screen for extended periods of  
time. These images, such as letterbox bars or  
side bars, bright closed captioning backgrounds,  
station logos, or any other stationary images  
may cause the picture tubes in your HDTV to  
age unevenly and cause damage to your HDTV.  
Refer to the user’s guide that came with your  
HDTV for more information.  
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.

Frequently Asked Questions About HDTV  
Are Local TV Stations Broadcasting in HDTV?  
Many local stations are transmitting digital  
signals. However, transmitting a digital  
signal does not mean transmitting an  
HDTV signal. Some stations are using the  
new bandwidth to broadcast several  
standard-definition channels. Most stations,  
however, once they begin broadcasting in  
digital, are offering HD content from their  
parent station, that is, CBS, ABC, NBC,  
Fox, WB, UPN, or PBS.  
Aspect Ratio? Resolution? What Does All That Mean?  
Progressive and interlaced format describe  
the technique that your HDTV uses to  
“paint” the picture on the screen. Inter-  
laced format updates half of the lines on  
the screen with every new video frame. In  
one frame, an interlaced screen will update  
all of the odd-numbered lines on the  
screen. In the next frame, it updates all of  
the even-numbered lines.  
The aspect ratio of a television screen is  
the ratio of its width to its height. The  
standard television screen is 4 units wide  
for every 3 units tall, so its aspect ratio is  
4 x 3 or 4:3.  
However, many HDTVs have an aspect  
ratio of 16:9 (meaning that the screen is  
16 units wide for every 9 units tall).  
The resolution of an HDTV screen  
By contrast, progressive format updates  
each line on the screen every time the  
frame changes.  
indicates the amount of detail that the  
screen can display. This resolution is  
identified by the number of display lines on  
the screen. For example, 1080i means that  
the screen shows 1080 lines in interlaced  
format, and 480p means that the screen  
shows 480 lines in progressive format.  
Your set-top can display the following  
formats:  
1080 lines, interlaced (1080i)  
720 lines, progressive (720p)  
480 lines, progressive (480p)  
480 lines, interlaced (480i)

Wide Screen HDTV  
(16:9 Aspect Ratio)  
10  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Why are some HDTVs 4:3 Aspect Ratio and Others are 16:9?  
The aspect ratios differ because the  
television industry manufactures both  
standard and wide-screen HDTVs, to  
appeal to consumer viewing preferences.  
Wide-screen TVs differ in the way that they  
display standard-screen programming. You  
can view the program in “pillarbox” format  
(surrounded by blank bars), or you can  
stretch or zoom the picture to fill your  
HDTV screen.  
Your set-top allows you to choose the way  
you want to view standard-width program-  
ming on your wide-screen TV. See  
Selecting Your Picture Size and Format  
on page 18.  
What are the Differences Between Standard TVs and HDTVs?  
An HDTV is 1/3 wider than a tradi-  
tional TV. The HDTV aspect ratio is  
usually 16:9 (compared to 4:3 for  
SDTV).  
In the USA, HDTV is always broadcast  
with digital signals. SDTV is currently  
broadcast in both digital and analog.  
(However, HDTV and digital SDTV do  
not use the same digital signal.)  
HDTV uses a much finer resolution to  
create the TV picture—up to 1125 lines  
for HDTV, as compared with 525 lines  
used in SDTV. This means that the  
resolution for HDTV can be up to  
1920x1080 pixels, as compared with  
720x480 pixels for SDTV.  
Generally, all HDTV-ready monitors or  
integrated HDTV sets are capable of  
supporting an SDTV 480i or 480p  
signal. Not all HDTV monitors support  
both 720p and 1080i HDTV signals.  
For instance, some plasma displays  
only support 720p.

4. Contact your cable service provider and  
ask them to turn on cable services for  
your set-top. Be prepared to give them  
the serial number from the back panel  
of your set-top. You should have  
written this number down on page 7 of  
this guide.  
Be sure to follow all of these steps. If you  
do not do so, your set-top will not be

possible wiring combination.  
• Current time  
• Four dashes (- - - -)  
Important: It may take several minutes  
for the set-top to receive the latest

What If My HDTV Doesn’t Have YPbPr Inputs?  
Most HDTVs include YPbPr connectors  
the store where you purchased your set-top,  
for component video inputs, and your  
Explorer 3270HD Set-Top includes a  
YPbPr cable for these inputs.  
or order one from www.sciatl.com.  
Your set-top will not display an HDTV  
signal correctly on an SDTV, even if the  
TV includes YPbPr inputs.  
If your HDTV has only RGB inputs, you  
need a connection converter. Check with  
How Do I Set Up Stereo Sound?  
To hear stereo sound, you must do one of  
the following:  
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. How-  
ever, the S-Video connection does not  
supply audio. You must also use audio  
cables with the S-Video cable.  
Connect 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,  
stereo receiver, or home theater.  
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.  
Connect an RCA cable from the  
DIGITAL AUDIO OUT on your set-top  
to the DIGITAL AUDIO IN on your  
HDTV (if equipped), stereo receiver, or  
home theater.  
Note: S-Video and coaxial cables only  
deliver SDTV programming. They do not  
deliver HDTV programming.

Selecting Your Picture Size and Format  
One main difference between SDTV and  
HDTV is the width of the screen. HDTVs  
usually have a wider aspect ratio than  
SDTVs.  
format. 480p means that the screen shows  
480 lines, progressive format.  
Your 3270HD can accept programming in  
many different formats (aspect ratio and  
resolution) and convert them into the  
format that looks best on your HDTV. The  
Explorer HDTV Setup Wizard helps you  
select the formats that will be available to  
you.  
The aspect ratio of a television screen is the  
ratio of its width to its height. The standard  
television screen is 4 units wide for every  
3 units tall, so its aspect ratio is 4 x 3 or  
4:3.  
However, many HDTVs have an aspect  
ratio of 16:9 (meaning that the screen is  
16 units wide for ever 9 units tall).  
Throughout these instructions, use the  
remote control arrow keys (W, X, S,  
T) and  
,
,
keys to navigate  
In addition, HDTVs can display a higher  
resolution than SDTVs. This resolution is  
identified by the number of display lines on  
the screen. For example, 1080i means that  
the screen shows 1080 lines in interlaced  
through the menus and options, unless  
indicated otherwise.  
You may want to have available the  
User manual that came with your  
HDTV for reference.

different code.  
If the device does not turn off, you must  
program a new code for this mode key.

your brand of device fail to operate  
your device properly, see What If  
None Of These Codes Work on  
page 27.  
Follow these steps to program a mode key:  
1. Find the code for your brand of device  
in one of the code lists in this guide.  
The code lists begin on page 28.  
To Unlock the CBL Mode Key  
Your remote control is already set up to  
operate your set-top. The CBL mode key is

remote operates the appropriate device for  
the current mode. You can choose to set up  
this key to operate multiple devices each
