INTRODUCTION

Welcome and congratulations on receiving a Motorola DCT* High Definition Cable Receiver, one of the most advanced interactive digital cable receivers available today. With the DCT*, 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 digital video recording (DVR) and the incredible picture quality and sound of High-Definition TV.

The DCT6200 is the next generation of Motorola’s DCT5100 platform enhanced with an internal processor. The DCT6200 also includes an “Entertainment Package” that enables a direct digital connection to consumer audio and video devices via 1394-DTV and DVI interfaces. The DCT6208 is fully equipped with an integrated 80 GB hard drive for hours of DVR functionality, including the capability of recording high definition programs. The DCT6208 also features a 1394 Firewire digital interface to enable external hard-drive expansion for increased storage or connection to future networked video devices.

This User Guide introduces you to the basic features of the DCT*, 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 as the configuration diagrams, on-screen menu description, and troubleshooting section 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.

In this User Guide, DCT* refers to both the DCT6200 and DCT6208 High Definition Cable Receivers.
