Overview

Congratulations on receiving a Motorola DCX3501-M Series High-Definition All-Digital Dual Tuner Cable Set-top, one of the most advanced interactive digital cable set-tops available today. 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 DCX3501-M includes an “Entertainment Package” that enables a direct digital connection to consumer audio and video devices through IEEE-1394 and HDMI™ interfaces. Dolby® Digital Plus is supported by the HDMI interface and provides 7.1 channels and beyond of enhanced-quality audio. The set-top is fully equipped with a factory-installed hard drive for hours of DVR functionality, which includes the capability of recording two High-Definition programs, or watching one while recording another.

This User Guide introduces you to the basic features, 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; the configuration diagrams, on-screen menu description, and troubleshooting sections 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.
