Do not plug the DCT6200/DCT6208 power cord into a wall outlet until you have completed all connections between the DCT and other components.

To take full advantage of the DCT6200/DCT6208 digital audio features you’ll want to incorporate a stereo or Home Theater receiver. This diagram illustrates how to integrate your DCT6200/DCT6208, Home Theater receiver and HDTV. We have not illustrated how to integrate a VCR or DVD player with a Home Theater receiver. The manual supplied with these components would best describe those connections.

1.Using the Video Only diagram, connect your coaxial cable to the Motorola cable box and the cable box Y Pb Pr HD video connection directly to your HDTV.

The audio options are dependent on the audio inputs available on your Home Theater receiver. We’ve listed them in order of sound quality.

OPTION ONE and TWO – Optical or RCA Type Digital Audio (orange)

(These two connections are of similar quality. Either one or the other may be used.) Connector cables to be used: Optical or RCA type audio cable

2.Locate the OPTICAL SPDIF output on the cable box and the OPTICAL SPDIF input on your digital Home Theater receiver. This input may also be labeled Toslink on your digital Home Theater receiver.

3.Using an optical audio connector, connect the output on the cable box to the input on your digital Home Theater receiver.
