Welcome and congratulations on receiving a Motorola DCT6400 Series High Definition Dual Tuner DVR Cable Receiver, one of the most advanced interactive digital cable receivers available today. With the DCT*, Motorola has merged the extraordinary features of digital cable – the seemingly endless programming options, interactive program guides, Video on Demand (VOD), and commercial free, CD quality music – with the flexibility of a dual tuner digital video recorder (DVR) and the incredible picture quality and sound of high definition TV (HDTV). The DCT* includes an “Entertainment Package” that enables a direct digital connection to consumer audio and video devices through 1394-DTV and DVI interfaces. The DCT* is fully equipped with a factory installed hard drive for hours of DVR functionality, which includes the capability of recording high definition (HD) programs and watch and record functionality. This User Guide introduces you to the basic features of the DCT*, outlines important safeguards, and provides several options for integrating this component into your current entertainment system. Please take a few moments to read through this User Guide as the configuration diagrams, on-screen menu description, and troubleshooting section will help you make the most of your home entertainment experience. Interactive Program Guide The interactive program guide displays information about TV programs and enables you to access features such as Parental Control or Pay-Per-View. Interactive program guides can vary with each cable service provider. Refer to the interactive program guide instruction manual for detailed instructions. The DCT* is equipped with an internal hard drive for DVR functionality, which provides the ability to record both standard definition TV (SDTV) and high definition TV (HDTV) programs. Storage time depends on the video format and the bit rate at which it is received. What is DVR? DVR stands for Digital Video Recorder. A standard VCR records and plays analog video. DVR records and plays digital video. Unlike an analog cassette tape, the DCT*'s hard drive allows recording and playback to occur simultaneously. DVR offers the ability to control your viewing experience by pausing (time shifting) live TV and providing trick playback modes (pause, fast forward, slow forward, fast rewind, slow rewind). You may experience a slight delay between time shifted and live TV. Simultaneously Record Two Shows and Watch a Recorded Program Watch a program recorded on your DCT* while recording up to two other programs at the same time. You can also easily switch viewing the pre-recorded program and either of the programs you’re recording. The DCT* enables you to view HD programming. HDTV provides up to twice the color resolution and up to six times the sharpness of standard definition TV. The Motorola DCT* delivers high-quality video for HDTVs using the YPbPr (component), DVI-D, and IEEE 1394 connectors. This section describes how to use the on-screen display to set your DCT* to automatically optimize both standard and HD video based on your HDTV and personal preferences. If you use the IEEE 1394 connector, no adjustments to your settings are required. If you have a TV with a DVI connection, be sure that the TV is on and connected to the DVI-D OUT connector of the DCT* before adjusting the settings. You can use your on-screen menu to configure your HD settings for TV type, DVI and/or YPbPr video output, and closed captioning.
