3 INSTALLATION
Audio Connection Options
When connecting to a home theater receiver, depending on its inputs, you can use the
following DCX3200 audio outputs:
HDMI
Digital audio
optical (S/PDIF) or
digital audio
coaxial (S/PDIF)
Baseband Audio
L / R
Connect the stereo audio cable to the AUDIO L and R connectors on the DCX3200 and
the audio left and right connectors on the TV. If the equipment supports it, use either the
optical S/PDIF or coaxial digital S/PDIF output (there is no difference in audio quality
between the two) instead of the AUDIO L and R outputs. These outputs offer better
audio quality, including support for Dolby
The cabling diagrams show audio/video (A/V) connections to an audio receiver, where
the receiver functions as an A/V router. When connecting to an audio receiver, reference
its installation guide for directions on connecting to baseband and digital audio ports.
The VCR and TV receive their A/V signals from the currently-selected input device on the
audio receiver. This is important when the subscriber has another A/V device such as a
DVD player, a secondary VCR, a CD player, or other electronic component. Motorola
recommends connecting the TV to the monitor output so on-screen menus for the
receiver can be displayed. (Receivers themselves often have interactive on-screen
menus.)
Installation Overview
1. Determine if you are connecting to a:
High-Definition
TV or monitor
Standard-
Definition TV
Unlike a DVI connection, an HDMI™ connection is capable of carrying
digital video and audio signals to the TV or a home theater receiver
equipped with HDMI™ switching support.
The HDMI™ connection can deliver Dolby
Linear PCM, and other digital audio formats to a compatible TV or home
theater receiver.
If the TV or home theater receiver supports it, use either the S/PDIF
digital audio optical or S/PDIF digital audio coaxial outputs to deliver
®
Dolby
Digital and Linear PCM audio to a Dolby
receiver.
•
For an HDMI™ or IEEE-1394 video connection, no additional audio
connections to the TV are required.
If the audio receiver does not support Dolby
AUDIO L and R outputs to connect to the audio receiver.
Use the component video (YPbPr), HDMI, or IEEE-1394 outputs. No other
video connection supports HDTV.
If the TV has a DVI input, connect a DVI-to-HDMI adapter or cable to the
HDMI™ out connector on the DCX set-top instead of the IEEE-1394
connection and the DVI-HDTV connector on the TV.
Connect the S-Video connector using an S-video cable or connect the
composite video connector using a composite (RCA phono) cable.
