DCT6200/DCT6208 User Guide

INTRODUCTION

Welcome and congratulations on receiving a Motorola DCT* High
Definition 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 personal video
recording (PVR) and the incredible picture quality and sound of
High-Definition TV.
The DCT6200 is the next generation of Motorola's DCT5100 platform
enhanced with an 800 MIPS internal processor. The DCT6200 also
includes an "Entertainment Package" that enables a direct digital
connection to consumer audio and video devices via 1394-DTV and DVI
interfaces. The DCT6208 is fully equipped with an integrated 80 GB hard
drive for hours of PVR functionality, including the capability of recording
high definition programs. The DCT6208 also features a 1394 Firewire
digital interface to enable external hard-drive expansion for increased
storage or connection to future networked video devices.
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.
To determine which features of digital cable are provided in your service
area, please check with your local cable operator. They will be happy to
provide instructions for these optional services.
In this User Guide, DCT* refers to both the DCT6200 and DCT6208 High
Definition Cable Receivers.
