OPTIMIZING YOUR CABLE TERMINAL FOR HDTV

The DCT3412 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 system’s HDTV capabilities 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 65 feet long for optimal performance.

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

For the best standard and HD viewing:

1Power off the DCT3412, and then immediately press the MENU key on the front panel. If the TV is on, the on-screen menu lists the settings you can configure:
