Introduction  
The Moxi Menu is the easiest, most intuitive way to browse and com-  
mand the expanding range of programming content and services.  
Powerful browsing and search tools  
Searching through hundreds of channels one by one is no way to find  
shows. With the mini-TV window, you can browse the menu without  
interrupting what you are watching.  
The Emmy® Award-winning dual-axis navigation (see figure 1) puts  
content choices right at the top of the menu instead of forcing you to  
dig through several levels of menus.  
Total access — Integrated menu displays cable programming  
and media applications, such as Jukebox, Photos, and Games.  
Vertical band with  
subcategories or  
selections  
Intuitive action menus — Choices (such as watch, record, or  
close) are presented in clear pop-up menus.  
Integrated On Demand and Pay Per View — Listings available  
from multiple locations.  
Center focus is the  
active card  
Brow se w hile view ing The mini-TV window and Moxi Flip  
Bar make it easy to browse program information and set pro-  
grams to record without leaving the current show.  
Pow erful search Search two full weeks of guide data, includ-  
ing On Demand and Pay Per View listings, by title, keyword, and  
category.  
Horizontal band  
with category or  
filter selections  
Category filters — Browse by category – HDTV, movies, sports,  
kids, news, music, and more.  
Parental controls — Block shows by TV rating, movie rating, or  
channel, and set On Demand and PPV purchase options.

Other great applications  
On Demand and Pay Per View The innovative Moxi Menu makes  
it easy to browse, preview, and purchase On Demand programming.  
You can surf through On Demand titles in a menu category, or find On  
Demand titles included within search and browse results alongside Pay  
Per View, live TV, and recorded show listings, all without digging  
through a deep menu.  
Digital photos — Photos offers the easiest way to import, store,  
browse, and view family photos on TV.  
SuperTicker™ — SuperTicker runs at the bottom of the TV screen  
and brings you one-touch access to weather, sports, news, and more,  
without taking you away from your show. Use the remote to see the  
details behind any headline.

blue box at the end directing you to the next step in the process or fur-  
ther information on recently discussed subjects.  
Games — Enjoy traditional arcade games such as Mahjong, Video  
Poker, Slot Machine, and more.  
At the back of this book there is a glossary and index. Since the Moxi

answers to specific questions.  
Jukebox — Import music from CDs and then play them through the  
Moxi Menu. Browse your collection by artist, album, genre, or song.  
Shuffle the collection by genre, artist, or album.  
Notes appear throughout this book. The notes have icons to indicate  
that the subject.  
PC Link — PC Link allows your media center to access photos and  
music stored on your networked computers. Any shared media are  
then available for display or play on the TV and home theater audio  
system. Using Windows Media Connect 2.0 or later, photos and music  
files appear in the Photos or Jukebox categories, just like photos and  
music loaded directly on the media center.  
Notes with a red icon contain cautionary or warning information.  
!
Failure to heed this information could lead to damaged or  
malfunctioning equipment or loss of data.  
PC Link can connect to your home network through Ethernet or with a  
wireless Ethernet adapter.  
Notes with the blue icon contain informative tips or answers to  
common questions.  
Extend the media center to a second TV  
The Moxi Mate makes all the features of the media center available to  
a second TV in the home. Contact your service provider for the avail-  
ability of the Moxi Mate. Not all media centers are compatible.  
Notes with the orange icon contain something to try out.  
When a word is bolded it either refers to an element of the Moxi  
Menu or a button on the remote or front panel that requires user  
action. For example, press the skip button on the remote.

Using Moxi  
This chapter tells you all you need to know to become an expert user  
of the Moxi Menu.  
Using the remote control  
The Moxi remote allows full control of the media center and provides  
volume controls for your TV or audio receiver. Buttons on the remote  
are organized by function. Many buttons have multiple functions  
depending on whether you are in the Moxi Menu, watching full-  
screen TV, or using an application such as Jukebox.  
The primary function of the orange Moxi button is to open and close  
the Moxi Menu but no matter where you end up in the Moxi Menu,  
always remember that the Moxi button can get you back to full-screen  
TV with a couple of presses.  
See figure 2 on page 9 for a detailed look at all the buttons and func-  
tions.

Alternatively, change the time slot by using the remote (see figure 6).  
Understanding the storage meter  
The Storage & Stats card in the About Moxi category provides a  
disk space meter that indicates how much hard drive space is in use. If  
an external hard drive is connected, the media center adjusts the  
meter to account for the extra space. This meter only provides a gen-  
eral idea of how much more you can record. The exact space for  
future recordings depends upon the type of recording (HD or SD), the  
broadcasting station, and whether or not any stored programs are eli-  
gible for deletion.

Priority: By default, new series recordings are added to the  
bottom of the list of series recordings. Series priority only  
matters when more than two series recordings are scheduled  
for the same time slot. See Setting the series priority for  
more information.  
If more than two series recordings are scheduled for the same time on  
the same day, the media center checks the order in the priority list and  
only records the two programs with the higher priority.  
For example, if there are series recordings set for Thursday evening  
with series priority ranks of 4, 9, and 23, all in the 9:00 PM timeslot,  
only the series with ranks of 4 and 9 are recorded.

Creating a playlist for a photo album with PC Link  
If the DVD contains rating information, the media center enforces your  
parental control settings. (To learn more about parental controls, see  
Parental Controls on page 35.)  
First you need to create a playlist. On your PC, you can create a playlist  
using a media player that supports .m3u (used by various media play-  
ers) or .wpl (Windows Media Player) playlist file formats. The playlist  
and its music files must be in folders that are shared through Windows  
Media Connect to play on your media center. You can also create play-  
lists from music stored locally on your media center by adding the  
music to a queue and saving that queue as a playlist.  
You can watch the DVD on either the media center or the Moxi  
Mate, but you cannot watch it simultaneously on both.

Wide mode — Horizontally squeezes widescreen video (16:9) to fit a  
standard TV (4:3). Choose this if you have a TV capable of showing  
widescreen programs correctly (in the original 16:9 aspect ratio).  
Widescreen  
The widescreen settings only take effect if the broadcast is presented  
in 16:9, or widescreen, format.  
Letter box — Shrinks a widescreen picture to fill the screen and puts  
black or gray bars at the top and bottom of the screen. This is the best  
choice if you have a standard TV.  
Figure 30: Wide mode on standard (4:3) and widescreen (16:9)  
Each setting affects the aspect ratio of the show on your TV differently  
and could even have a different effect on the commercials airing dur-  
ing a show. You may have to experiment to find the best setting for  
your TV and viewing habits.

PC Link connects your media center to home computers. When con-  
nected, shared photos and music stored on the computer are listed in  
the Photos and Jukebox categories in the Moxi Menu, just like photos  
and music loaded directly on the media center.  
The parental control functions provided by the media center are  
robust. By setting a four-digit personal identification number (PIN), you  
can lock programming by rating or channel.

Using and programming the remote  
This chapter provides information about remote functions and pro-  
gramming.  
Functions of the Moxi remote  
The Moxi remote operates the media center, and—once pro-  
grammed—will simultaneously control the power, volume, and mute  
functions of your TV or audio receiver.  
Your cable operator may supply a different remote. If your remote  
does not look like the one pictured in figure 39 on page 43, refer to  
the information provided with that remote for programming instruc-  
tions.  
When replacing batteries, use only high quality, non-corrosive  
batteries designed for use in electronic equipment.  
Multi-function buttons  
Some buttons have different functions depending on what application  
you are using, whether you are watching live TV, or navigating the  
Moxi Menu. For example, the ch+ button pages through the channels  
category in the Moxi Menu but opens the flip bar and switches to the  
next channel while watching live TV. See figure 39 on page 43 for  
details on all the buttons and functions.

Using and programming the remote  
Infrared emitter  
When a button on the remote is pressed, the infrared signal is sent to  
an IR receiver. The receiver then transmits the signal to the IR emitter  
(IR blaster), which sends commands to electronic components.  
For the IR emitter to send its signals to the media center, it must have  
a clear view of the infrared receiver on the front panel of the media  
center. To see the receiver, shine a flashlight at the media center front  
panel, to the right of the clock (see figure 40). Refer to the documen-  
tation provided by the manufacturer of the IR emitter for proper instal-  
lation and orientation.  
The infrared frequency used for IR signals between the remote and  
media center is 38 KHz.

Adding additional recording space  
This chapter describes how to connect an external hard drive, VCR, or  
other recording device, to add additional drive space or archive shows  
recorded on the media center. If you have the External Hard Drive card  
in the Settings category, continue to Using an external hard drive  
below. Otherwise, skip to Archiving simplified on page 49.  
The Moxi Menu does not provide any visual clues about which  
hard drive (internal or external) contains a recording.  
Connecting an external hard drive  
1. Connect an external hard drive to a USB 2.0 port on the rear of the  
media center. Connect the hard drive directly to the media center.  
USB hubs are not supported.  
Programs protected by Macrovision copy protection may not be  
archived to a VCR.  
2. Wait for media center to recognize the external hard drive. If the  
media center fails to recognize the external hard drive, restart the  
media center and try again.  
Using an external hard drive  
3. If this is the first time this hard drive was plugged into this media  
center, or if the hard drive is not properly formatted, the media cen-  
ter prompts you to format the hard drive.  
To provide additional space for recorded programs, you may connect  
one external hard drive at a time to the rear USB 2.0 port on the media  
center to provide additional space for recorded programs. Once the  
media center recognizes the external hard drive, programs stored on it  
appear in the Recorded TV category and any other applicable catego-  
ries.  
If you choose to format the external hard drive, all data on the drive  
will be deleted. You must do this to use the external hard drive with  
the media center.  
!
There is no limit to the number of external hard drives you can  
associate with the media center but only connect one at a time.  
4. If you choose reformat, you are the prompted to confirm the choice.  
External hard drives used with the media center must be dedi-  
cated for use with only that media center. Moving the external  
hard drive between media centers or using it for storing other  
data will cause the loss of all programs previously stored on the  
external hard drive.  
5. Once the external hard drive is recognized as properly formatted and  
ready for use, the media center adjusts the recording schedule to  
account for the additional space. You can unplug and plug in the  
external hard drive as needed.  
The external hard drive is only used to store recordings, not pho-  
tos or music. If you need more storage space for photos or  
music, see Enabling PC Link on page 53.

Disconnecting an external hard drive  
If an connected external hard drive is disconnected while it is in use (a  
recording is playing or a program is being recorded) recordings stored  
on it may become corrupted. To disconnect the external hard drive:  
Archiving simplified  
To archive a program, play back the recorded program while recording  
with the connected recording device. When recording to a VCR from  
any port all on-screen activities are recorded. This includes channel  
changes, navigation of the Moxi Menu, system sounds, and transport  
actions (pause, stop, rewind, and fast-forward).  
5
1. Manually stop all recordings by selecting the program card in the  
Moxi Menu, and then choosing stop recording.  
2. In the Settings category, select the External Hard Drive card.  
When installing any secondary device, such as a VCR, do not insert the  
device in the primary signal path between the media center and the  
TV, as this may affect the video and audio displayed on the TV. Instead,  
use a secondary video input to the TV for the VCR (see figure 41). If  
the content is protected by copy protection systems, the picture may  
still appear distorted.  
3. Select disconnect and press OK.  
4. A note appears letting you know that it is ok to disconnect the drive  
or that the drive is in use and cannot be disconnected.  
Recovering corrupted programs

In certain circumstances, such as after a power failure, a message ask-  
ing you to reformat your external hard drive may appear even when  
the external drive is already formatted for your Moxi. Your recordings  
may be recoverable.

4. Wait until all disk activity stops. This may take several minutes but it  
Figure 41: Signal flow from the media center  
indicates that Moxi is attempting to resolve the file corruption.  
5. Check the Recorded TV category for recovered recordings. If they do  
not appear, repeat this procedure once more. If they still do not  
appear, the recordings are corrupt and the external hard drive must  
be reformatted.  
Choosing the connection  
Variations in VCR and TV technology present many connection  
options. Determine which connection is used between the TV and the  
media center and use an alternate connection to the VCR.

Archiving to a VCR or DVCR  
The installation instructions in this document are generic and may  
need to be adjusted to suit the your equipment. Refer to the VCR  
manufacturers documentation before installation.  
If you plan to record HD programming to the VCR, use a connec-  
tion that supports 720p and 1080i.  
If you plan to record in standard definition (480i), use any video  
connection except the one used by the TV. See table 3 for the  
resolutions supported by each connection.  
Always maintain an uninterrupted primary video connection directly  
from the media center to the TV.

If a wired connection is not possible, connect the media center to a  
wireless game adapter or wireless bridge manufactured by the same  
company as your wireless router, see figure 54. An Internet connection  
is not required for PC Link.  
To add components to the TV connected to the media center, such as  
a DVD player or VCR, refer to the manufacturers documentation for  
each device. For digital VCRs, see Archiving to a VCR or DVCR on  
page 50.

For other additional components, use a secondary connection to the  
TV. Do not interrupt the primary signal from the media center to the  
TV (see figure 55). If the content is protected by digital copyright pro-  
tection systems, the picture on the additional component may appear  
distorted or not at all.  
You must use the Ethernet port on the rear of the media center. A  
!
USB to Ethernet connection is not supported.

Troubleshooting  
This chapter contains troubleshooting information for basic issues  
related to your media center or Moxi Mate. If these tips do not resolve  
the issue, contact your service provider for further assistance.  
Static on screen or poor picture quality  
1. Make sure the media center and the TV are turned on.  
2. Check that all cables are connected to the proper ports and are

This section addresses issues related to the media center.  
TV audio and video out-of-sync  
Audio and video problems  
The following procedures address connectivity and configuration  
issues between the cable drop, TV, and the media center.  
1. Make sure the audio outputs from the media center are connected  
directly to the audio output device and are not passed through any  
intermediate device.  
2. Reset the media center by pressing and holding the reset button until  
the LED display begins to change (starting with 0000). Allow about  
five minutes for the system to start.  
No video displayed

1. Check the cabling between the media center and the TV.  
Video, and so on).  
2. Begin recording and then try changing the channel.  
3. Verify that the V-Chip in the TV is disabled. Instead, use the parental  
controls on the media center to control viewing. See Parental  
Controls on page 35 for more information.  
3. Bypass the media center and verify that the TV displays video. If not,  
there is a problem with the signal.  
4. Make sure the remote has fresh batteries.  
Use the front panel controls to manually set the video resolution.  
5. Make sure the remote is programmed properly and is set to the  
proper device mode. (See Using and programming the remote on  
page 41 for more information.)  
1. Simultaneously press the Live TV and OK buttons to display the cur-  
rent mode.  
2. Use the channel up and down buttons to select the mode. The  
modes available are SD (for 480i), 480p, 720p, and 1080 (for 1080i).

Remote or front panel control problems  
Moxi Mate troubleshooting  
This section provides troubleshooting tips for basic issues related to  
the Moxi Mate. If you cannot resolve the issue, contact your service  
provider.  
If you cannot control the media center with the front  
panel buttons:  
8
Try using the Moxi remote. If it works, call customer service for a  
replacement media center.  
Power problems  
If the Moxi Mate does not display the time on the front panel, it is  
likely that it is not getting power.  
If you cannot control the user interface from the Moxi  
remote, but front panel buttons work:  
Ensure that the power cable is plugged into the Moxi Mate and  
the wall outlet.  
Make sure the remote has fresh batteries.  
Check the line of sight between the remote and the front of the  
media center for obstructions.  
Use only the power supply issued with the Moxi Mate. Most  
Moxi Mates use a 7-Volt power supply.  
If the media center responds sluggishly or intermittently to  
remote control key presses, the problem may be caused by the  
TV. Some TVs, including those with backlight systems, emit a fre-  
quency that interferes with the frequency used by the remote  
control (38 kHz). Try relocating the TV or media center so that  
the media center is well behind the TV.  
Make sure the wall outlet has power and is not controlled by a  
wall switch. Voltage must be within the 95 VAC to 125 VAC  
range at 57 Hz to 63 Hz.  
Try a different wall outlet.

Troubleshooting  
Audio and video problems  
The following items address connectivity and configuration issues  
between the TV and the media center or Moxi Mate.  
Home network troubleshooting  
If you are having trouble connecting the media center to your home  
network, check the following:  
Make sure the media center, Moxi Mate, and the TV to which the  
Moxi Mate is connected are plugged in and turned on.  
Connect the media center to the home network through the  
Ethernet (RJ-45) port on the rear of the media center. USB net-  
work connections are not supported.  
Make sure the TV connected to the media center or Moxi Mate is  
set to the correct channel (usually 3 or 4) or input setting, and  
that the sound is not muted.  
Make sure DHCP is enabled in your router. Static IP addresses are  
not supported.  
Check that the coaxial and composite cable connections to make  
sure they are secure.  
When connecting the media center to your home IP network, a  
wired connection is best. Wired connections are not subject to  
the same interference as wireless connections.  
Check all splitters to ensure that they allow the 1 GHz signals  
used for Moxi Mate communications to pass through. Splitters  
may have 5 - 1000 Hz” written on them.  
If you use a game adapter or ethernet bridge to connect wire-  
lessly, any 802.11b, g, or n product works but is susceptible to  
radio interference.  
Make sure the media center and any computers sharing photos  
or music with PC Link are on the same subnet. Their IP addresses  
are the same except for the last number (192.168.2.2 and  
192.168.2.3, for example).  
If all network devices seem to be working but you have problems get-  
ting Windows Media Connect to share media with your media center  
(your computer does not appear as an available server in the Moxi  
Menu), follow these steps.  
1. Right-click the network icon in the system tray.  
2. Click repair, and then wait for Windows to fix the problem.
