Standard Cabling Diagram
Standard cabling for cable service is connecting the DCT5100 to a VCR. Figure 3-1 illustrates
the basic RF cabling diagram that enables you to record on your VCR the currently tuned
channel. When a VCR is not present, connect the coax cable from the DCT5100 directly to the
CABLE IN connector on the TV. The output from the RF connection will be on channel 3 or 4,
depending on the configuration information coming from the control system.
