DCT6400 Series User Guide

INTRODUCTION

Welcome and congratulations on receiving a Motorola DCT6400 Series High Definition Dual Tuner DVR 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 the flexibility of dual tuner digital video recording (DVR) and the incredible picture quality and sound of high definition TV (HDTV).

The DCT* includes an “Entertainment Package” that enables a direct digital connection to consumer audio and video devices through

1394-DTV and DVI interfaces. The DCT* is fully equipped with a factory installed hard drive for hours of DVR functionality, which includes the capability of recording high definition (HD) programs and watch and record functionality.

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 manual, DCT* refers to the DCT6400 Series of High Definition Cable Receivers: the DCT6408, DCT6412, and DCT6416.
