1 INTRODUCTION Motorola cannot guarantee the exact amount of programming that each subscriber will be able to record. The approximate time depends on the programming type and the drive size: Table 1-1 DVR Recording Time Guidelines Estimated Recording Hours For: Model Drive Size Standard Digital Channels HDTV Channels DCH3416 160 GB 55 to 100 14 to 21 All times are approximate. The actual hours a subscriber can record are a function of program bit rate, the IPG type, and the reserved buffer space.

In addition, Motorola Online offers a searchable solutions database, technical documentation, and low-priority issue creation and tracking.
2 OVERVIEW Front Panel The front panel controls provide functional navigation if the remote control is lost or is temporarily out of service. Certain functions, such as those requiring a numeric entry, require a remote control. Some connectors are not enabled and require the support of application software.
2 OVERVIEW The Format button is intended to allow you to select a video output format that is compatible with a connected display device. Some televisions may not support all four video formats listed above. The Format button provides an easy method for selecting an output format that is compatible with your television. Operation The Format button is intended to complement the User Settings Menu (see User Setting Status). It is not intended to replace the User Settings Menu.
2 OVERVIEW Rear Panel The rear panel contains an unswitched power outlet; connectors for video, audio, and RF cabling; data output; and modem and data interface connectors. Some connectors are not enabled and require the support of application software.
3 INSTALLATION Before You Begin Before you move or change components on the subscriber’s entertainment system: • Review the installation instructions. • Determine if you are connecting to a standard analog NTSC TV (supporting an RF input), a composite (baseband) video input, or an S-Video input) or a High-Definition TV (supporting component video input, HDMI input, or an IEEE-1394 input).
3 INSTALLATION Video Connection Options Use the following guidelines to determine the best video connection for the subscriber home entertainment system. To determine the available video inputs on the TV, check the manual supplied with the TV or the TV itself. The DCH3416 offers the following video outputs: Component (YPbPr) HDTV and SDTV The YPbPr outputs provide component video, the most widely supported HD video connection.
3 INSTALLATION 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. We recommend connecting the TV to the monitor output so on-screen menus for the receiver can be displayed. (In many cases, the receivers themselves have interactive on-screen menus.) Installation Overview 1.
3 INSTALLATION Cabling to an HDTV for Video For the best possible HDTV video quality: • If the TV has an HDMI input, connect it to the DCH3416 HDMI output. If the TV has a DVI input, you can connect it to the DCH3416 HDMI output using and HDMI-to-DVI converter cable or adapter. • If the TV has neither an HDMI nor a DVI input but has an IEEE-1394 input, connect it to the DCH3416 IEEE-1394 output. If you use IEEE-1394, on-screen graphics do not display.
3 INSTALLATION Cabling to an HDTV and an A/V Receiver Figure 3-2 Cabling to an HDTV and an A/V receiver If the receiver can check the baseband and digital audio (S/PDIF) ports for appropriate channels, connect both the baseband and digital audio connections. Otherwise, do not connect both the baseband left/right composite connections and the coaxial digital connection. The baseband connections are not necessary because the digital audio port provides a single audio interface for digital channels.
3 INSTALLATION Cabling to a Standard-Definition TV and an A/V Receiver Figure 3-3 Cabling to a Standard-Definition stereo TV Because some entertainment equipment cannot simultaneously support baseband composite video and S-Video, never simultaneously connect both video inputs. This connection method does not support HDTV. For information, see Cabling to an HDTV for Video in this section.
3 INSTALLATION Cabling to a Standard-Definition TV and Audio Receiver To connect to an audio receiver, such as a home mini system, use a daisy-chain cabling connection. The A/V configuration illustrated below enables digital stereo recording, including Dolby Digital Surround sound. Use only one set of composite input connectors on the audio receiver: Figure 3-4 Cabling an audio receiver The video connections shown in this illustration do not support HDTV.
3 INSTALLATION Data Device Connections The DCH3416 provides optional high-speed data services such as Internet access, USB, Ethernet, and more. The functionality of each data device port requires, and depends on, installed application software. The DCH3416 rear panel provides the following data ports: USB 2.0 Can be used to daisy-chain USB devices such as printers and storage devices, or to interface with keyboards, joysticks, and other USB PC peripherals.
3 INSTALLATION Operational Check for the Remote Control The operational check tests communication with the remote control: Table 3-1 Operational check procedures Feature Testing Procedure Power on Press POWER on the remote control to turn on the DCH3416. Tune to the output channel (3 or 4) if using the RF output. Channel selection Scan through the channels using the CHANNEL + or - keys. Tune to several channels by entering the channel number using the numeric keys.
3 INSTALLATION 2. Use the remote control or the cursor keys on the front panel to navigate the onscreen menus: • Press the ▲ and ▼ keys to highlight the setting you wish to change. • Press the ► key to select an option. • To exit the setting and move to another setting, press the ▲ or ▼ key. If the User Settings menu does not display on the HDTV screen, the TV may not support the default video output setting.
3 INSTALLATION Setting Description HDMI/YPbPr Output Allows you to specify the video output format of the DCH receiver for all content (when the 4:3 override setting is Off) or for all 480p, 720p, and 1080i content (when the 4:3 override is used). Options include 1080i, 720p, 480p, and 480i. By default, the 1080i option is selected. The options are used as follows: • 1080i — The DCH receiver will present programs in the High-Definition 1080i format (1920 x 1080 pixels).
3 INSTALLATION Setting Description Font Opacity Sets the opacity. Defaults to AUTO. Options are AUTO, TRANSPARENT, TRANSLUCENT, SOLID, or FLASHING. Font Edge Type Sets the edge appearance — AUTO, NONE, RAISED, DEPRESSED, UNIFORM, LEFT SHADOWED, or RIGHT SHADOWED. The default is AUTO. Font Edge Color Sets the edge color — AUTO, WHITE, BLACK, RED, GREEN, BLUE, YELLOW, MAGENTA, or CYAN. The default is AUTO. Background Color Sets the background color for closed captions. Defaults to AUTO.

5 TROUBLESHOOTING Troubleshooting guidelines follow. If problems still occur after performing the diagnostics, call the TRC for assistance as described in the Introduction. Problem Possible Solution The DCH receiver will not power on The DCH receiver may have received a software update and may not power on while the new software is being installed. Try again in a few minutes. The remote control does not work • Verify that the AC power cord is connected to the DCH receiver and an AC outlet.
5 TROUBLESHOOTING Problem Possible Solution • Verify that all video cables between the DCH receiver and the TV are firmly connected. • Verify that the coaxial cable feed is firmly connected to the DCH receiver and the wall jack. • If the DCH receiver video output is connected to a home theater unit, verify that the home theater unit is powered on and set to the appropriate input source.
5 TROUBLESHOOTING Problem Possible Solution There are black bars on all four sides of the picture This may occur on a 4:3 TV if the 4:3 OVERRIDE setting is OFF. To set 4:3 SD programming to fill the screen, depending on the capabilities of the TV, set 4:3 OVERRIDE to 480i or 480p. This may occur on a 16:9 TV if the active video for an SD broadcast is in letterbox format. To confirm, wait for a commercial or look for a graphic, such as a network logo.
