The above named party is responsible for ensuring that the equipment complies with the standards of 47 CFR, Paragraphs 15.107 to 15.109

FCC Part 68 Statement: This equipment complies with part 68 of the FCC rules. On the rear panel of this equipment is a label that contains, among other information, the FCC registration number and ringer equivalence number (REN) for the equipment. If requested, this information must be provided to the telephone company.

The REN is used to determine the quantity of devices that may be connected to the telephone line. Excessive RENs on the telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most, but not all areas, the sum of the RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to the line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the telephone company to determine the maximum REN for the calling area.

This equipment uses the following USOC jack: RJC. An FCC-compliant telephone cord and modular plug is provided with this equipment. This equipment is designed to be connected to the telephone network or premises wiring using a compatible modular jack that is Part 68 compliant. This equipment cannot be used on telephone company-provided coin services. Connection to Party Line Service is subject to state tariffs.

If this equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company will notify you in advance that the temporary discontinuance of services may be required. If advance notice isn’t practical, the telephone company will notify the customer as soon as possible. Also, you will be advised of your right to file a compliant with the FCC if you believe it is necessary.

The telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations, or procedures that could affect the operation of the equipment. If this happens, the telephone company will provide advance notice in order to maintain uninterrupted service.

If the trouble is causing harm to the telephone system, the telephone company may request that you remove the equipment from the network until the problem is resolved.

It is recommended that the customer install an AC surge arrestor in the AC outlet to which this device is connected. This is to avoid damaging the equipment by local lightning strikes and other electrical surges.

Canadian Compliance: This Class B digital apparatus meets all requirements of the Canadian Interference-Causing Equipment Regulations.

Cet appareil numérique de la classe B respects toutes les exigences du Règlement sur le matériel brouilleur du Canada.

Industry Canada CS-03 Statement: The Industry Canada label identifies certified equipment. This certification means that the equipment meets certain telecommunications network protective, operational and safety requirements as prescribed in the appropriate Terminal Equipment Technical Requirements document(s). The department does not guarantee that the equipment will operate to the user’s satisfaction.

Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be connected to the facilities of the local telecommunications company. The equipment must also be installed using an acceptable method of connection. The customer should be aware that compliance with the above conditions might not prevent degradation of service in some situations. Repairs to certified equipment should be coordinated by a representative designated by the supplier. Repairs or alterations made by the user to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions may give the telecommunication company cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment.

Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connections of the power utility, telephone lines and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected together. This precaution may be particularly important in rural areas. Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should contact the appropriate electric inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate.

The DCT2000 can deliver Dolby AC-3 audio to a Dolby Digital stereo receiver using the SPDIF

RCA or optical cable with a TOSLINK connector. Because the SPDIF does not carry audio for analog channels, use both the baseband L/R audio and the SPDIF connectors when connecting the DCT2000 to a digital receiver. The optical connector carries Dolby digital for both analog and digital channels.

PCM audio and AC-3 are the operation modes for the SPDIF connector. PCM audio mode is the default setting from the factory. Use the Electronic Program Guide (EPG) to select an alternative operating mode for the DCT2000. If the EPG does not provide a PCM or AC-3 option, then the SPDIF port will default to PCM audio.

Table 3-1 describes the functionality of the audio ports based on the digital audio mode selected:

Set the DCT2000 to PCM audio mode using the Electronic Program Guide.

Adjust the Dolby Digital receiver input audio settings for the DCT2000 to baseband L/R inputs (refer to stereo receiver instructions for more information). This prevents audio loss while channel surfing through analog channels.

3 When a digital program has been selected for viewing, set the DCT2000 to AC-3 mode using the EPG. Set the stereo receiver to digital audio input to experience AC-3 audio.


Many Dolby Digital receivers are designed with A/V output ports that feed external devices such as a VCR. The AV output content is based on the selected input device. When the DCT2000 is selected as the input device for VCR recording, an alternate device cannot simultaneously use the Dolby Digital receiver, or the VCR will then record the secondary device. (Reference the

Dolby Digital receiver installation manual for information on selecting and configuring A/V interfaces on the receiver).

For normal viewing with the optical connector set the audio in the EPG to:

Mono for one channel

Stereo for two channels

Matrix stereo for 5.1 (digital AC-3)

A d d i n g t h e I R B l a s t e r O p t i o n

The IR Blaster provides control of the subscriber’s VCR from the DCT2000. It consists of a low-power infrared transmitter attached to a six-foot cord and a mounting bracket. The mounting bracket is a clear plastic holder with a pad of adhesive tape for installing the

IR Blaster near the VCR IR receiver. A mini-pin connector at the end of the cord connects the

IR Blaster to the DCT2000.

The IR Blaster functionality is controlled by the interactive program application that is resident on the DCT2000. Not all applications support the optional IR Blaster.

Figure 4-1 illustrates the IR transmitter installed in the mounting bracket:

Figure 4-1

Adhesive tape Mounting bracket

The IR Blaster is automatically activated through the electronic program guide. Individual VCR codes are broadcast through the out-of-band data channel and are updated periodically as new codes are added.

The procedure for installing the IR Blaster is described in the following paragraphs.

L o c a t i n g t h e I R R e c e i v e r o n t h e V C R

The IR receiver is not visible on some VCRs. You can locate the receiver using the following procedure:

Obtain a piece of opaque material, such as a 3- by 5-inch index card.

Use the card to block areas of the VCR where the receiver might be located. Turn the VCR on and off, while pointing the remote control at the card blocking the VCR. Be sure the remote control is close to the VCR to reduce reflections the receiver may pick up.

3 Note the area where the VCR is unresponsive to the remote control. This region contains the receiver and can be marked by loosely taping the index card to the area.

Because the IR Blaster radiates an area approximately 40 degrees wide, it is not necessary to be precisely on target with the remote control. Offset the location of the IR Blaster transmitters from the VCR receiver to reduce interference with operation of the VCR remote control.

Data Activity and EMM Data Activity Indicators

The LED EMM Data Activity indicator is lit when a message is present and the Data Activity indicator shows receipt of a message. The OSD indicates with a *, that data has been received.

The indicators cover all packet processors regardless of which stream they are monitoring and are cleared when you enter the diagnostic.

Table B-5 lists how the EMM data activity indicator shows when the DCT2000 is receiving a message on the EMM stream:

Table B-5

LED OSD Status off Blank No data received on

The DCT2000 can receive only six PIDs at one time. Data on PIDs can be present on the out-of-band multiplex that the DCT2000 is not receiving.

Selecting the OOB Frequency

To select the OOB Frequency go to 02 OOB STATUS diagnostic and begin:

1 Press the MENU button to enter the frequency selection mode. The frequency of the last known carrier (LKC) displays on the LED. The OSD displays a new MANUAL FREQ line at the bottom of the screen, indicating the LKC frequency.

2 Press the MENU key a second time to exit the frequency change mode.

Or

Press the UP/DOWN channel or cursor keys to scroll through the frequencies to locate the desired OOB frequency. The frequency selection appears on the LED and on the MANUAL

FREQ line of the OSD. When you select the last known frequency, a DOT appears in the upper-middle portion of the LED.

The first frequency to display is 75.25. The system scrolls through each frequency until it reaches the last, 103.75, and then scrolls back to the beginning. This diagnostic scrolls through the OOB frequencies in the following order:

75.25 MHz

104.20 MHz

72.75 MHz

92.25 MHz

98.25 MHz

107.25 MHz

107.40 MHz

110.25 MHz

116.25 MHz

103.75 MHz

Press SELECT to begin searching for the OOB frequency. While the DCT2000 searches for a frequency, the LED flashes. On the OSD the MANUAL FREQ line of text clears, the

HUNT MODE displays FIX to indicate the fixed frequency search, and the CUR FREQ field changes to the frequency selected to search.

If the frequency is found with the proper EMM Provider ID, the LED displays the normal

OOB receiver status as shown in Figure B-4. The OSD LKC field changes to display the new frequency.

If after 40 seconds the frequency search is not successful, the DCT2000 performs a warm reset and returns to the last known carrier frequency.

To abort a search without waiting the 40 seconds, press POWER to cause a warm reset.

Agile Enabled DCT2000 Operation Notes

The DCT2000 LED displays hunt:

After a cold reset from the front panel. This indicates that the DCT2000 is in a round robin hunt mode. The hunt message continues to display until the proper stream (EMM provider of 0x0000 or 0x001) is detected.

After receiving an OOB_processor_config message with EMM_provider_ID that is not equal to the one it is currently using. Receiving this message puts the DCT2000 into the EMM ID

Hunt Mode. The hunt message continues to display until the proper stream is detected.
