Audio/Video Cabling

The DCT* can deliver Dolby AC-3 audio to a Dolby Digital audio receiver using the SPDIF
coaxial or optical connector. When connecting to an audio receiver, depending on the
capabilities of the audio receiver, you can use the left/right RCA audio outputs on the DCT*:
Baseband If the audio receiver does not support Dolby Digital, use the baseband left and right RCA audio
connections to interface to the audio receiver.
The SPDIF port carries the audio in PCM or Dolby AC-3 format
SPDIF
The cabling diagrams show sample audio/video connections to an audio receiver, where the
receiver functions as an audio/video router. When connecting to an audio receiver, reference its
installation instructions for directions on connecting to baseband and SPDIF ports.
The VCR and TV receive their audio/video signals from the currently selected input device on
the audio receiver. This is important when the subscriber has another audio/video device such
as a DVD player, a secondary VCR, a CD player, or other electronic component. We recommend
connecting the TV to the monitor output so on-screen menus for the receiver can be displayed.
(In many cases the receivers themselves have interactive on-screen menus).
