Motorola DCT3400 Series manual Optimizing Your Cable Terminal for High Definition TV

OPTIMIZING YOUR CABLE TERMINAL FOR HIGH DEFINITION TV

The DCT3400 outputs HD video through its Y Pb Pr (component), HDMI, or IEEE 1394 connectors. This section describes how to optimize standard and HD video based on your HDTV and personal preferences.

If you use the IEEE 1394 output, no adjustments to the settings are required.

For a TV with an HDMI connection, be sure the TV is on and connected to the HDMI OUT connector before adjusting the settings. Motorola recommends using HDMI cables less than 20 meters long.

You can configure the TV type, HDMI and/or Y Pb Pr video output, and closed captioning.

To optimize the output settings:

1Be sure your cable terminal is plugged into a power outlet and connected to your TV.

2Power off the cable terminal and then immediately press the MENU key on the front panel. If your TV is on, the on-screen menu lists the settings you can configure:
