RF Bypass Switch Cabling Diagrams

The RF Bypass switch enables the cable signal to pass directly to a cable-ready TV, bypassing
the DCT5100. The bypass mode is automatically initiated under one of three conditions: when
the DCT5100 loses power, when it is turned off from the front panel, or when the user manually
activates the switch by pressing the A/B key. If the DCT5100 loses power or is turned off, the
subscriber can continue viewing the clear analog channels on the cable system. Activating
bypass mode enables you to tape a tuned channel from the DCT5100 while watching a different
clear channel that is bypassed to the TV.
Proper operation of the RF Bypass feature requires special configuration information from the
control system, and proper user interface settings in the Electronic Program Guide (EPG).
Figure 3-2 illustrates RF cabling to an optional VCR using the RF Bypass switch. When a VCR
is not present, install the supplied jumper cable from the
switch.
