Introduction - Motorola DCT6400 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 multiple interfaces. The DVR can record standard-
and high-definition (HD) programs.
This User Guide introduces 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.
