INTRODUCTION
Welcome and congratulations on receiving a Motorola DCT* High
Definition Cable Receiver, one of the most advanced interactive digital
cable receivers available today. With the DCT*, 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 digital video
recording (DVR) and the incredible picture quality and sound of
High-Definition TV.
The DCT 6208 is the next generation of Motorola’s DCT5100 platform
enhanced with an internal processor. The DCT6208 also includes an
“Entertainment Package” that enables a direct digital connection to
consumer audio and video devices via 1394-DTV and DVI interfaces.
The DCT6208 is fully equipped with an integrated 80 GB hard drive for
hours of DVR functionality, including the capability of recording high
definition programs. The DCT6208 also features a 1394 Firewire digital
interface to enable external hard-drive expansion for increased storage
or connection to future networked video devices.
This User Guide introduces you to the basic features of the DCT*,
outlines important safeguards, and provides several options for
integrating this component into your current entertainment system.
Please take a few moments to read through this User Guide as the
configuration diagrams, on - screen menu description, and troubleshooting
section will help you make the most of your home entertainment
experience.
