A 6-foot coaxial cable is provided to connect the DCT* to your cable wall outlet. A 6-foot component video cable and left/right audio cables are also provided to connect the DCT* to your TV. • If your equipment supports it, S-video connections may be used in place of the standard RCA video connections. In most cases, S-video offers a higher level of standard definition video quality than RCA video • If your equipment supports it, the optical (OPTICAL SPDIF) or coaxial digital (SPDIF) audio outputs may be used in place of the stereo audio outputs (AUDIO R and L). In most cases these outputs offer a higher level of audio quality, including support for 5.1 Surround Sound. • If you are connecting a coaxial cable from the TO TV/VCR connector on the DCT* to the coaxial CABLE/ANTENNA IN connector on the TV, you must tune your TV to channel 3 or 4 to view the DCT* output. Connecting the DCT* in this manner will remove its high definition video capability. • Disconnect power from the DCT* before connecting or changing cable connections. The DCT* offers Component and DVI video outputs. These outputs provide a high level of video quality. If your High Definition television (HDTV) or home theater receiver supports either of these connections, use one or the other instead of the RCA type or S-Video connections. For more information on connecting High Definition video, see “Connecting your DCT* to an HDTV – Video Only” on page 16. CAUTION! Do not place anything on top of the DCT*, especially other home entertainment components. Be sure to provide adequate ventilation to prevent overheating. 7 RF BYPASS oc=ETR=çÜãF ÅçååÉÅíáçå a`qSOMMLa`qSOMU ETHERNET TO TV/VCR R AUDIO IN L SPDIF VIDEO IN OUT RPT OUT DVI-D OUT IR RF IN AUDIO OUT USB IEEE 1394 S-VIDEO RF IN Y Pb Pr TV Pass Card OPTICAL SPDIF RF OUT CONV OUT CONV IN CABLE IN TO TV/VCR CABLE IN From cable outlet To TV 8 DCT6200/DCT6208 User Guide The DCT* may be equipped with an optional RF Bypass switch.

Common examples include on-screen menus (such as the User Setting menu), closed captions, and interactive program guides. The DCT* overlays these graphics whenever you open a menu, enables closed captions, or scrolls through a program grid. Overlaying graphics are not available on all DCT* video output and mode combinations. The following table summarizes the availability of overlaying graphics for each DCT* video output combination: DVI or YPbPr Output Mode DCT6200 Primary Video Output (DVI or YPbPr) DCT6200 Secondary Video Output 1080i Graphics overlay supported Video only Video only Video only 720p Graphics overlay supported Video only Video only Video only 480p Graphics overlay supported Video only Video only Video only 480i Graphics overlay supported Graphics overlay supported Graphics overlay supported Graphics overlay supported S-Video Out Composite Out RF Out The 4:3 Override feature enables you to specify a different Output Mode for high-definition (DVI or YPbPr) programming and standard-definition (4:3) programming. If the 4:3 Override is set to 480i and the subscriber tunes to a 4:3 standard channel, the DCT* displays graphics overlays on all outputs even if the DVI or YPbPr Output Mode is 1080i, 720p, or 480p. 32 DCT6200/DCT6208 User Guide DATA DEVICES a`qSOMMLa`qSOMU ETHERNET TO TV/VCR R AUDIO IN L SPDIF VIDEO IN OUT DVI-D OUT IR CABLE IN USB IEEE 1394 S-VIDEO AUDIO OUT TV Pass Card Y Pb Pr OPTICAL SPDIF USB devices Audio/Video devices Do not attempt to connect data devices without contacting your service provider.

Your DCT* may be equipped with the interface connections illustrated, but their functionality depends on the services offered by your service provider. 34 DCT6200/DCT6208 User Guide TROUBLESHOOTING Before calling your service provider, review this troubleshooting guide. This information is to help you quickly solve a problem. If your problem still exists, contact your service provider. Problem Possible Solution The DCT* will not power on Verify that the AC power cord is connected to the DCT* and an AC outlet. If the DCT* is connected to a switched outlet on another unit, verify that that unit is powered on. Press the POWER button on the DCT* front panel instead of the remote control. The batteries in the remote control may be depleted. The DCT* may have received a software update and may not power on while the new software is being installed. Try again in a few minutes. The remote control does not work Verify that the remote control is in “Cable” mode. Verify that there are no obstructions between the remote control and the DCT*. Aim the remote control directly at the DCT* front panel, not the TV or VCR. The angle between the remote control and the DCT* may be too large. Stand in front of the DCT* and not too far to either side. Press and release operation keys one at a time, firmly and deliberately. Try changing channels using the buttons on the DCT* front panel. Check the batteries in the remote control. Install new batteries if needed. 35 Problem Possible Solution There is no audio when viewing cable channels Verify that the MUTE button on the DCT* or the remote control has not been pressed. Press MUTE on the remote control to restore sound. If the DCT* audio output is connected to the TV, verify that the MUTE button on the TV has not been pressed. If the DCT* audio output is connected to a home theater receiver, verify that the receiver is set to the appropriate input source and the mute button on the receiver has not been pressed. Verify that you have the correct cables for the audio ports. Verify that the audio cables are firmly connected between the DCT* and the audio playback device (TV, receiver, etc.). There is no audio from the center and/or surround speakers of a home theater receiver connected to the DCT* Not all Dolby Digital programs feature full 5.1 surround sound. In some cases, the programs may only contain left and right stereo audio. Verify that the SPDIF cable (coaxial or optical) is firmly connected to the DCT* and the home theater receiver. Verify that the home theater receiver is set to a surround sound audio mode (Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic II, Dolby Pro Logic). Verify that the receiver is properly configured to work with all connected speakers. 36 DCT6200/DCT6208 User Guide Problem Possible Solution There is no video on the TV screen Verify that the TV is powered on and set to the appropriate input source for the DCT*. Verify that the DCT* is powered on and tuned to an authorized cable channel. Verify that the coaxial cable feed is firmly connected to the DCT* and the wall jack. The DCT* DVI output may not yet be enabled. Use the component video (Y Pb Pr) output instead. If the DCT* video output is connected to a home theater unit, verify that the home theater unit is powered on and set to the appropriate input source. Not all HDTVs can display every output format (1080i, 720p, 480p, or 480i) available on the DCT*. Enter the User Settings menu and cycle through the available output formats until a picture displays on the TV. Verify that all video cables between the DCT* and the TV are firmly connected. There are no graphics, closed captions, or program guides appearing on the TV screen The DCT* cannot generate graphics on all video outputs at all times. If the DCT* is set to 1080i, 720p, or 480p output format, graphics are only available on the high definition video outputs (DVI and component video). If the DCT* is set to 480i, graphics are available on all video outputs. If the DCT* is connected to a standard definition (SD) TV, verify that the DCT* is configured to use the 480i output mode. Verify that closed captions on the DCT* have been enabled in the User Settings menu. 37 Problem Possible Solution There are black bars to the right and left of the picture Wide screen TVs display 4:3 programs in this format unless set to Stretch. Turn on the 4:3 OVERRIDE feature in the User Settings menu. This enables most wide screen TVs to stretch the video to fill the screen (see the TV manual for information about stretching 4:3 video). If the DCT* is connected to a wide screen TV, verify that the TV TYPE is set to 16:9 in the User Settings menu. Many HD programs are broadcast in pillar-box format with black bars to the left and right of the picture. These programs are broadcast in 16:9 HD formats even though the video is not 16:9. There are black bars above and below the picture All 4:3 HDTVs display HD programs in letterbox format (black bars above and below the picture) because of the shape of the display screen. Turn on the 4:3 OVERRIDE feature in the User Settings menu. This enables most standard screen TVs to display a full screen picture when the DCT* is tuned to a 4:3 program. Set the TV TYPE to 4:3 Pan-Scan. This enables the DCT* to remove the black bars above and below the picture when possible. Some SD programs are broadcast in the letterbox format with black bars above and below the picture. Some wide screens TVs offer a zoom feature that may be able to remove the black bars (see the TV manual for information about zooming 4:3 video). 38 DCT6200/DCT6208 User Guide Problem Possible Solution There are black bars on all four sides of the picture This may occur on a 4:3 TV if the 4:3 OVERRIDE setting is OFF. To cause 4:3 SD programming to fill the screen, depending on the capabilities of the TV, set 4:3 OVERRIDE to 480i or 480p. This may occur on a 16:9 TV if the active video for an SD broadcast is in letterbox format. To confirm, wait for a commercial or look for a graphic, such as a network logo. If the commercial fills the screen from top to bottom, or the graphic appears below the active video, the program is being letterboxed by the broadcaster. You can minimize this by activating the zoom feature on the TV. A broadcaster may include black bars on either side of a wide screen broadcast. This is called a “hybrid” aspect ratio and results in a black border surrounding the video on a 4:3 TV. Because this is part of the broadcast, the DCT* cannot correct the video. You may be able to minimize the border using the zoom feature on the TV. 39 SPECIFICATIONS Physical Dimensions Size 17.13 in. × 12.75 in. × 2.75 in.
