And digital cable keeps your feet a-tapping with up to 45 channels of digital audio from

Digital cable has the sounds you want to hear.
So sit back, relax, and get ready to enter the amazing world of Adelphia digital cable.
Since you just activated your service, there's a few things to keep in mind about your digital
receiver.
When your digital receiver is first installed, it will load the programming listing's information.
In a few minutes, you will have all the programming information needed to fully operate the interactive
guide.
Your digital receiver requires a constant power supply, so make sure it's not connected
to an outlet controlled by a light switch or any other fixture where it can be turned
off easily.
If the power is cut off for any reason, the data will be lost, but don't worry, the programming
information will automatically reload once the power returns.
Now that we've got things set up, let's start exploring Adelphia digital cable by first
looking at the digital remote control.
It's a universal remote control that can be programmed to operate your television, VCR,
and your digital receiver.
In addition to the normal features that you probably had on your old remote, this one
has quite a few new buttons on it.
We'll be looking at each of these and when to use them as this preview goes on.
The first thing you do when using your digital cable service is to turn the TV set on.
To do this, just press the TV power button.
Next, press the cable power button to activate the digital receiver.
There's also a button to turn on your VCR.
Press this if so desired.
To change the channel, simply press the channel up or down button.
You can also change the channel by entering the three digit channel number, like 002,
or by pressing the number desired, two, and then the select button.
The channel banner automatically appears each time you change the channel.
It disappears after a few seconds.
You can also get rid of the channel banner by pressing the exit button.
The channel banner allows you to browse the programming information for other channels
without missing a second of the show you're currently watching.
By pushing the up or down arrow buttons, you can see the listings of what other channels
have to offer right now.
If you want to see what's on later, use the right arrow key and you can search by half
hour intervals.
When you see something that you like, press the select button.
You'll be tuned to that channel.
Your digital cable service also provides you several ways to find programming information
through the interactive program guide.
Press the guide button on the remote.
A listings menu will appear where the programs are organized by their start time.
To see listings for future time periods, use the right arrow button.
To quickly see the next page of listings, use the page up button.
Press the up and down arrows to highlight a program.
If you see something you like, press select and you'll tune right to that program.
If the program you want isn't on yet, you'll see a future program options menu which will
allow you to tune directly to the channel, set a reminder which will automatically appear
a few minutes before the start of the program, or set a VCR timer which will automatically
tune your receiver to that program at the determined start time.
And if you're interested in what's on tomorrow, press the B button.
Use the up and down arrow buttons to highlight the date you would like to view and press
the select button.
Your interactive guide also allows you to browse by theme.
To do so, press the guide button on your remote control and programming listings will appear
in the by time view.
Press the A button on the remote control, use the up and down arrow buttons to highlight
theme, then press select.
The programming listings now appear in the by theme view.
Press the left arrow button to access the list of themes and using your up and down
arrow buttons, highlight the theme you're interested in, like drama, and press the right
arrow button to move the cursor back to the list of programs for that theme.
If you see something you like, highlight the program by using the up and down arrow buttons.
Press the info key on the remote and you'll see a detailed description of that program.
To tune to the program, just press the select button.
If the program is currently on, you will tune right to it.
If the program is on later, you'll see the future program options menu.
If you're looking for a particular program, you can search by title too.
Let's say we wanted to find the program Bear in the Big Blue House.
Press the guide button on your remote control and the programming listings will appear in
the by time view.
Now press the A button using the up and down arrows, highlight title, and press select.
The programming listings now appear in the title view.
You can use the up and down arrows to scroll all the listings.
For a faster search, press the left arrow to access the letters list.
Here the up and down arrow buttons allow you to scroll through the alphabet.
Once you select the letter your program begins with, use the right arrow to move the cursor
back to the list of programs and scroll down until you find Bear in the Big Blue House.
Once again, you'll tune directly into the program if it's currently on.
If it's airing later, the future programs options menu will appear.
The interactive program guide also gives you access to the schedules for all the Adelphia
in-demand movies and special events.
Now with Adelphia Digital Cable, you get up to 30 channels of in-demand movies plus these
movies start every half hour so you can watch what you want to watch when you want to watch
it.
To order an Adelphia in-demand movie or special event, press the guide button on the remote
and the listings will appear in the by time view.
Press the up and down and the left and right arrow buttons to move through the channel
numbers and time periods to highlight your selection.
Ordering an in-demand movie or special event is just a phone call away.
Music lovers will want to check out up to 45 digital audio channels from Music Choice
which are included as part of your digital cable service.
Music Choice channels are listed in the guide exactly like regular channels.
You'll notice up to 45 different channels of CD quality music from which to choose.
Each channel features a different music genre and there are no announcers and no commercials.
Whether you're sitting down to dinner with family, entertaining guests or relaxing alone
with a good book, Music Choice gives you a huge selection of music to enjoy.

they feel are inappropriate for their children.

Okay, get ready now.
You're about to learn how to hook up your Adelphia digital cable.
We'll show you the ins and outs of connecting your equipment, from hooking up your box to
a non-stereo television to adding on a home theater system.
By the time you're finished, you'll be operating your digital cable system as if you invented
it yourself.
So stick around, because things are about to get interesting.
Welcome to the world of Adelphia digital cable.
You're just minutes away from enjoying the best in cable entertainment.
Of course you'll have to hook it up first, but don't worry.
This video will help make the installation as painless as possible, and you won't need
any tools either.
It's a good idea to read through the self-install booklet and watch this video before you begin
to hook up your digital receiver.
The video will refer to certain pages of the booklet, so you can familiarize yourself with
the booklet as you watch.
Ready?
Let's get started.
Let's start with the easy stuff.
Step one, plug your digital receiver into a wall outlet.
It's important to make sure the outlet is not controlled by a wall switch.
This is important because your interactive program guide updates itself every night,
and it won't update if the power is turned off at a wall switch.
Also, before you start, make sure the coaxial cable running from your wall is firmly screwed
into the input on your digital receiver labeled Cable In.
Refer to page six in your guide for other important installation tips.
Okay, we have some juice going, so let's hook up some cable.
There are many different configurations, but don't worry, you'll only be interested in
one of them.
You may fast-forward through the tape at any time to find the section highlighting your
installation.
This handy color-coded table of contents lists the different installations in the order they
appear on the tape.
Simply look for the letter and color of your installation on the bottom of the screen as
you're fast-forwarding.
The grid on page seven lists the various devices and the corresponding pages that diagram the
installation processes.
If you have a monaural or non-stereo television, hooking up the receiver is very simple.
Simply connect a second coaxial cable from the receiver, where it's marked Cable Out,
and connect the other end to the cable slash antenna input on your television.
For a non-stereo TV, you're done.
If you have a stereo television, you'll need a set of video-stereo audio cables.
These are the same kind of cables that you'd find running from your stereo VCR to your
stereo TV.
The video cable should run from the output marked Video on the receiver to the video
input on the television.
The left and right audio cables will run from their respective audio outputs on the receiver
to their corresponding audio inputs on the television.
That's it!
To connect a non-stereo TV and a non-stereo VCR, you'll need two coaxial cables.
First, run a coaxial cable from the output on the digital receiver labeled Cable Out
to the In From Antenna input on the back of the VCR.
Run the other coaxial cable from the VCR's Out to TV output to the TV's cable slash
antenna input.

inputs on the back of the television.
Connecting a stereo TV with an S-Video input requires an S-Video cable and a stereo audio
cable.

on the back of the stereo TV.
Then simply connect the left and right audio cables from their outputs on the receiver
to their corresponding audio inputs on the back of the television.

to Audio In left and right on the back of the TV.
Run a stereo audio cable from the audio output on the back of the television to the audio
input on the stereo receiver or amplifier.
Connecting a stereo TV, stereo VCR, and a home theater receiver is probably the most
involved installation process you'll encounter.
You may want to refer to page 20 of your installation manual for additional assistance.
You'll need four sets of video stereo audio cables, one digital audio coaxial cable, and
two standard coaxial cables.
Begin by running one of the standard coaxial cables from the output on the digital receiver
labeled Cable Out to the RF In port on the back of the stereo VCR.
Run the second standard coaxial from the VCR's RF Out port to the cable slash antenna
input on the back of the stereo television.

receiver by connecting the left and right audio cables from the digital receiver's
audio outputs to the home theater receiver's Audio In 1 inputs.
The video cable will run from the video output on the digital receiver to the home theater
receiver's Video In 1 input.
Connect one set of video stereo audio cables from the Audio Out left and right on the back
of the VCR to the audio from VCR ports on the back of the home theater receiver.
