Selecting TV and VCR Setup Codes

You can set up your remote control for your TV and VCR by consulting the tables in “TV and VCR Setup Codes”. You only need to set up your remote control for your TV, VCR 1 and VCR 2 (if applicable).

To set up your remote control for your TV or VCR(s):

1 Press the mode button for the device you are setting up (either TV, VCR 1 or VCR 2) for six

seconds.

The mode buttons will turn on and turn off one at a time. This sequence will repeat two

times and then the selected mode button will remain on. This indicates the remote is ready to accept the four-digit setup code.

2 Enter the four-digit setup code for your TV or VCR. The setup code can be found in “TV and

VCR Setup Codes”. When the setup code is accepted, the selected mode button will blink three times. If the setup code is not accepted or more than ten seconds have elapsed between button presses,

the selected mode button turns off. The TV or VCR then exits the programming mode and the most recent pre-programmed setup code is restored.

You can only set up your remote control while in TV, VCR 1 or VCR 2 mode. You can exit the setup mode at any time by pressing any button on the remote other than the

number buttons.

DCP501 User Guide

20 Overview

Verifying a Setup Code Using Blink Back

You can use the remote control’s blink back function to verify a previously entered setup code. The blink back function verifies a setup code by indicating the setup code number through a certain number of blinks on the 1, 2, 3, and 4 buttons on your remote control.

To verify a setup code using blink back:

1 Press the mode button for the device you are verifying (either TV, VCR 1 or VCR 2) for six

seconds.

The mode buttons will turn on and turn off one at a time. This sequence will repeat two

times and then the selected mode button will remain on. This indicates the remote is ready to accept the blink back code.

2 Press 9 9 0 on your remote control.

The selected mode button will blink three times and turn off.

3 Press 1 on your remote control. The 1 button will blink for a certain number of times.

The number of blinks that occur after pressing the number buttons represent the four-digit

setup code for the selected mode. The 1 button represents the first digit in the setup code, the 2 button represents the second digit in the setup code, and so on for all four digits in the setup code.

For example, to verify the TV setup code is 0047, after you press the mode button and 9 9 0,

pressing the 1 button will cause it to remain off, pressing the 2 button will cause it to remain off, pressing the 3 button will cause it to blink four times, and pressing the 4 button will cause it to blink seven times.

4 Press 2 on your remote control and count the number of blinks. 5 Press 3 on your remote control and count the number of blinks. 6 Press 4 on your remote control and count the number of blinks.

You can only set up your remote control while in TV, VCR 1 or VCR 2 mode. After pressing the mode button and 9 9 0 sequence, you can exit the blink back mode at any

time by pressing any button on the remote other than the 1 button.

Finding a Setup Code

Setup codes for your TV and VCR are listed by brand in “ TV and VCR Setup Codes”. If the setup code for your brand of TV or VCR is not listed, or if your TV or VCR does not

respond to the setup codes listed for its brand, you can search for your setup code using your remote control’s Step and Set function.

To search for a setup code:

1 Press the mode button for the device (either TV, VCR 1 or VCR 2) for six seconds.

The mode buttons will turn on and turn off one at a time. This sequence will repeat two

times and then the selected mode button will remain on. This indicates the remote is ready

to use the Step and Set function.

2 Press the Cursor Up ∧

If no setup code is currently programmed for the selected mode, the search begins with the

most popular setup code for the selected device. If a setup code has been previously

programmed, the search begins with the next setup code for that device.

3 Use the following buttons to determine if the setup code properly operates the selected

device:

 Number buttons 0, 1, 2, or 3 (use to test TV setup codes)

 Channel Up (use to test TV setup codes)

 Play (use to test VCR setup codes)

 Rewind (use to test VCR setup codes)

4 If the setup code successfully operates the device, press OK on the remote control. The setup

code is now programmed into your remote control. If the setup code does not operate the device, repeat steps 2 and 3. During Step and Set, if there is more than a ten second pause between pressing buttons on the

remote control, the remote will exit Step and Set and return to the previously programmed setup code.

You can only set up your remote control while in TV, VCR 1 or VCR 2 mode.

Connecting Your TV

Before connecting your TV to the DCP501, you must determine which type of video connection to use. The DCP501 features two types of video outputs: S-video and video (also referred to as composite video). S-video is the highest quality video available on the DCP501. If your TV does not offer S-video, use the VIDEO connections. To determine whether your TV features S-video or composite video, check the manual supplied with your TV to determine the best connection available.

When connecting the video path, never connect composite video and S-Video together. Because certain types of electronics equipment will not support both video inputs simultaneously, use only one connection path.

DCP501 User Guide

28 Installation

Connecting to Cable TV

The DCP501 operates only with TVs with composite video or S-video capabilities. The DCP501 contains no RF output, so it will not function properly with older models of TVs with only RF input.

Do not disconnect the cable connection between the RF In and To RF In ports. Removal of this cable could disrupt operation of the DCP501.

IMPORTANT! The digital cable feature of your Motorola DCP501 can be activated only in certain cable systems throughout North America. Contact your local cable TV provider to determine whether the digital cable feature of your Motorola DCP501 can be activated. In cable systems where the digital cable feature cannot be activated, you may connect an external cable receiver provided by your local cable provider. For best results, connect an external cable receiver through the audio and video inputs on the back of your DCP501.

WARNING!

To avoid damaging the DCP501, do not use the cable connection between the RF In and To RF ports as a handle.

Position the center speaker on top or below the TV set. Do not place the center speaker farther away from the listening position then the front speakers.

Position the rear speakers beside or slightly behind your viewing position. If the rear speakers are placed on the floor, they should be angled up towards the ceiling.

The subwoofer should be placed in a corner or, if that is not possible, against a wall. The DCP501 should be placed on a dry, smooth, flat surface. Any obstructions that could

interfere with the free flow of air over, under, or around the DCP501 should be removed. Do not place anything on top of the unit.

Test Tone Adjust

The Test Tone option allows you to hear test tones and adjust the level of these tones on speakers connected to the DCP501 to properly balance the sound system with the listening area.

 For full benefit, Test Tone Adjust should be performed when the DCP501 is in Dolby-Digital

or dts mode.

 You can be in any audio mode except stereo to enter the Test Tone Adjust menu. You can

only adjust the test tone levels for the speakers that are used in the audio mode you have selected. For example, Dolby 3 Channel Stereo uses left, right, and center speakers. You can adjust the test tones for these three speakers, but not for either of the surround speakers. In any of the full surround modes, you can adjust all five test tone levels — left, right, center, right surround, left surround. You are not allowed to adjust any of the test tones when stereo mode is selected.

 Set the base volume level of each speaker with this option.  Perform this operation while sitting at the listening position. The factory setting is

0 dB.

As the tone is played through each speaker, the current setting flashes. Use the DCP501 remote control or front panel

CURSOR left/right (<

< >>>>) to adjust the volume level of each speaker so that

all speaker volumes sound the same. It is not necessary to press

SETUP or OK to record your settings for each speaker.

To use the Test Tone Adjust feature:
