Introduction - Motorola DCT6400 Phase III User Manual

INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on receiving a Motorola DCT6400 Series Phase III High
Definition Advanced DVR Cable Terminal. 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 a dual tuner
digital video recorder (DVR) and the incredible picture quality and sound
of high definition TV (HDTV). HDTV provides up to twice the color
resolution and up to six times the sharpness of standard definition TV.
The DCT6400 enables a direct digital connection to consumer audio and
video devices through IEEE-1394 DTV and HDMI interfaces. It contains
a hard drive for hours of DVR functionality, including recording high
definition (HD) programs and watch and record functionality.
This User Guide introduces the basic features, outlines important
safeguards, and provides options for integrating your DCT6400 into your
entertainment system. Please take a few moments to read through this
User Guide. The configuration diagrams, on-screen menu description,
and troubleshooting section will help you make the most of your home
entertainment experience.
To determine which digital cable features are provided in your area,
please check with your cable operator. They will be happy to provide
instructions for these optional services.
In this guide, "DCT6400" refers to all DCT6400 Series Phase III cable
terminals, including the DCT6412 and DCT6416. They function
identically, but have different size hard drives. For example:
