After you set up your Explorer 3170HD
Set-Top, and the front panel displays the
current time, you can turn on the set-top
and begin watching TV. Press the
POWER
button on the front of the set-top to turn it
on.
Your cable service provider will send
nightly programming updates to your set-
top (such as program guide information).
You should leave your set-top on at all
times so that it can receive these updates.
Using the Mode Keys
Your remote can operate your set-top and
your HDTV, plus two other devices that
you have set up with your remote. The
mode keys across the top of your remote
let you specify the device you want to
control:

AUX
controls a CD player, receiver,
amplifier, or other audio devices.
•
VCR
controls a VCR or DVD player.
•
TV

•

If you prefer, you can set up some of these
mode keys to operate other devices. For
example, you can set up your AUX key to
operate a second VCR. See
