Connecting the DCT6200/DCT6208 to a High-Definition TV – Video Only
Connector cables to be used:
• 6 ft coaxial cable
• Three-pronged component video cable
1.
Using a coaxial cable, connect cable wall outlet to the CABLE IN coaxial input on the cable box.
2. Locate the Y Pb Pr inputs on your HDTV and the Y Pb Pr outputs on the cable box.
T
o make identification easy
, these connecters are color-coded on the cable box
(Y = green, Pb = blue, and Pr = red). Colors may vary on your HDTV
.
3.
Using a three-jack component video connector, connect the Y output on the cable box
to the Y input on your HDTV. Do the same for the Pb and Pr connections.
This diagram shows the High-Definition video
connection between your Motorola
DCT6200/DCT6208 and your High-Definition
television (HDTV). This is the primary diagram
for providing HD video and should be done
prior to the following audio configurations.
Do not plug the DCT6200/DCT6208 power cord into a
wall outlet until you have completed all connections
between the DCT and other components.

.
You should use this configuration only
if your HDTV has built-in speakers and
you do not intend to include a stereo
or Home Theater receiver in your
configuration.
Do not plug the DCT6200/DCT6208 power cord into a
wall outlet until you have completed all connections
between the DCT and other components.
Connector cables to be used: Two-pronged RCA type audio cable (red & white)
1.

Connecting the DCT6200/DCT6208 to a High-Definition TV and VCR
1. Using the Video Only diagram, connect your coaxial cable to the Motorola cable box and the cable box Y Pb Pr HD video connection directly
to your HDTV.
Connector Cables to be used (not all cables included):
• 1 set of two-pronged RCA type audio cables (red & white) • 2 sets of “Y” audio splitter cables
• 2 S-video cables – OR – 2 sets of single-pronged RCA type video cables (yellow)
Note: The video cables you use will depend on the inputs/outputs on your VCR and HDTV. S-video is considered the higher standard definition video output
and should be your first choice.
2. Connect the single connector end of a Y audio splitter cable to the AUDIO OUT R (red) on the cable box. Insert the other ends into the
AUDIO IN R on your VCR and AUDIO IN R on your HDTV.
3.
Use the second splitter cable to connect the AUDIO OUT L (white) on the cable box to the AUDIO IN L connections on both the VCR and the HDTV
.
4. Use the two-pronged RCA cable to connect the AUDIO OUT L & R on your VCR to the AUDIO IN L & R on your HDTV.
5. Using an S-video cable, connect the S-VIDEO output on the cable box to the S-VIDEO IN on your VCR. Then use the second
S-video cable to connect the S-VIDEO output on the VCR to the S-VIDEO IN on your HDTV.
– OR –
6.
Using your single-pronged RCA type video connector cable, connect the VIDEO OUT (yellow) connector on the cable box to the
VIDEO IN connector on your VCR. Next, use the second single-pronged RCA type video connector cable to connect the VIDEO OUT connector
on your VCR to the VIDEO IN connector on your HDTV.
This diagram should be
used if you intend to use
a standard stereo VCR in
your configuration. This
configuration will allow
you to watch both HD
and Standard Definition
video on your HDTV as
well as record and play
Standard Definition video
via your VCR.
Do not plug the DCT6200/DCT6208 power cord into a
wall outlet until you have completed all connections
between the DCT and other components.

Connecting the DCT6200/DCT6208 to a High-Definition TV and Home Theater
1.
Using the Video Only diagram, connect your coaxial cable to the Motorola cable box and the cable box Y Pb Pr HD video connection directly
to your HDTV.
The audio options are dependent on the audio inputs available on your Home Theater receiver. We’ve listed them in order of sound quality.
OPTION ONE and TWO – Optical or RCA Type Digital Audio (orange)
(These two connections are of similar quality. Either one or the other may be used.)
Connector cables to be used: Optical or RCA type audio cable
2.
Locate the OPTICAL SPDIF output on the cable box and the OPTICAL SPDIF input on your digital Home Theater receiver.
This input may also be labeled T
oslink on your digital Home Theater receiver
.
3. Using an optical audio connector, connect the output on the cable box to the input on your digital Home Theater receiver.
– OR –
2. Locate the orange RCA type SPDIF output on the cable box and the RCA type SPDIF or digital audio input on your Home Theater receiver.
3.
Using a single-pronged RCA type audio connector
, connect the output on the cable box to the input on your Home Theater receiver
.
OPTION THREE
–
Baseband Audio
Connector cables to be used: Two-pronged RCA type audio cable (red & white)
3. Locate the AUDIO OUT L (white) & R (red) outputs on the cable box and the AUDIO IN L & R inputs on your Home Theater receiver.
4. Using a two-pronged RCA type audio connector, connect the L & R outputs on the cable box to the L & R inputs on your Home Theater receiver.
Remember L will go to L, and R will go to R.
To take full advantage of the
DCT6200/DCT6208 digital audio
features you’ll want to
incorporate a stereo or Home
Theater receiver. This diagram
illustrates how to integrate
your DCT6200/DCT6208, Home
Theater receiver and HDTV
.
We have not illustrated how to
integrate a VCR or DVD player
with a Home Theater receiver.
The manual supplied with
these components would best
describe those connections.
Do not plug the DCT6200/DCT6208 power cord into a
wall outlet until you have completed all connections
between the DCT and other components.
OPTIMIZING YOUR HDTV PICTURE
The final step is tailoring your cable box to the capabilities of your HDTV using the On Screen Menu. This allows the cable box to
automatically optimize both Standard and High-Definition video, based on your HDTV and personal preferences.
T
o access the On Screen Menu, power ON your HDTV and power
OFF the cable box. Press the MENU button on either your remote
control or the cable box front panel to call up the On Screen Display.*
You may use either the cable box front panel or the remote control
to navigate the display:
•
The arrow on the left indicates the
position of the cursor
.
•
Press the and buttons to select
the setting you wish to change.
•
Press the button to select an option
for that setting.
•
To exit the setting and move to another setting, use
th
e
and
buttons.
•
Press the POWER or MENU button to exit the menu
and save your settings.
TV TYPE
The first user setting is TV TYPE. Your selection tells the cable box what type of TV you have and how you prefer to watch widescreen
programming. Your choices are 16:9, 4:3 Letterbox, or 4:3 Pan Scan.
•
Choose 16:9 if you have a widescreen HDTV.
•
Choose 4:3 Letterbox if you have a standard TV and you prefer to watch widescreen programming in its original aspect ratio.
•
Choose 4:3 Pan Scan if you have a standard screen TV and you prefer that widescreen programming is cropped to fill your screen.
Think of this last choice as watching a theater-style movie that has been reformatted to fit your standard screen TV.
Y Pb Pr OUTPUT
Next, use the down arrow to select Y Pb Pr OUTPUT. This setting indicates the picture resolution you prefer when watching High-Definition
programming. The choices, listed in order of highest to lowest picture resolution, are 1080i, 720p, 480p, and 480i. Y
our selection will
depend on which format(s) your HDTV supports. To maximize your high-definition viewing experience, refer to your television set owner's
manual, and use the right arrow button to choose the setting that indicates the highest picture resolution that your television will support.
4:3 OVERRIDE
Finally, use the down button arrow to select 4:3 OVERRIDE. By selecting 480i or 480p you are telling the cable box to send Standard
Definition programming to your TV in its original broadcast format. Select OFF and the
cable box will default to the resolution selected in
the Y Pb Pr OUTPUT setting above. To exit and save changes press the POWER or MENU button.
For more details on configuring your cable box output settings, including setting Closed Caption preferences, see the Motorola
cable box
User Guide or visit www
.motorola.com/Broadband.
* If the On Screen Menu does not appear on your HDTV screen, your TV may not support the default, standard definition setting (480i).
Use the cable box front panel LED to view and change your settings.
