Walter and Barbara Bradford calling back with additional info. The cable box is explorer 4250HDC.It is hooked to the TV with 5 cable hookup.Also there is the power wire and the cable that goes to the box to receive the Charter input. The 5 wires are color coded. Thanks

If you have an HDTV, you can hookup HDMI cable from set-top-box to the HDTV's HDMI input and select that input on the TV using your remote. If you have analog TV, you can hookup using RCA cables (yellow to yellow, white to white). You could also call Time-Warner for assistance.

pull the card out of the front of the directtv box ...wait 1 minute and put back in...turn box on...hope this helps

Called the cable provider, Time Warner, and used the "settings" menu to navigate to power on channel, where I selected the default channel.

Their site says with the addition of a USB TV dongal you can play to TV. Couldn't find any reference as to where you can get one. I did notice that their nect model Box 204 comes with a HDMI port.

The easiest way to proceed is by using RCA cables (the red, white, yellow) to connect the cable box.

The HDMI on the RX-v363 does not pass the audio.  You need to either connect an optical or digital cable from your audio source.  If it is a cable box or DVD player there should be audio outputs in addition to HDMI

I found that since the Panasonic TH50PZ80U TV has only 2 HDMI ports on the back of the TV, the best solution for me was to use component (red, blue, green) cables to connect the Home Theatre to the TV. I suppose I/you could connect the home theatre to the HDMI port on the front panel, but I don't want cables hanging out the front of the TV (personal preference). Unfortunately, I am no longer able to use the VIERA Link functionality available by connecting all Panasonic components to each other using HDMI cables, but I feel it's a small price to pay for the incredible picture quality acheived by using the HDMI cable to connect the HD Cable Box to the TV. I may yet be able to control everything using the HD Cable Box remote, but I haven't gotten that far yet but I've got Comcast coming on Saturday and hopefully they can let me know if this is possible: let me know if you have a solution.

So here are the components and the cable types used to connect:

1. HD Cable Box to TV: HDMI cable & Optical Audio cable
2. Home Theatre to TV: Red, Blue & Green component cables
3. BluRay Player to TV: HDMI cable

I hope this helps someone else.

Used the dvr/vcr component hookup as the input for the cable box, and that worked. Pioneer's tech line is virtually no help.

Just hook your antenna or whatever wire you have currently connected to the TV to the input on the new recorder, and you'll be to record anything you can watch now.

My 42" Westinghouse HDMI inputs just stopped working. I thought it was the TW Explorer 4250HDC issue so I got a new one from TW. Still said no signal from HDMI. So, I shut the TV down and pulled the power cord out of the back. I waited a few seconds and reconnected the pwr cord. The TV "re-booted" so to say and now the HDMI inputs work. I think TVTEK has the right idea that it is firmware/software related. In the mean time, you might want to give that a try.
