3 INSTALLATION

Video Connection Options

Use the following guidelines to determine the best video connection for the subscriber’s home entertainment system. To determine the available video inputs on the TV, check the manual supplied with the TV or the TV itself.

The DCX3200 offers the following video outputs:

Component (YPbPr)

HDMI™ or IEEE-1394

S-Video

Video (composite)

HDTV and SDTV

SDTV only If the TV has an S-Video input, use S-Video. S-Video is the highest-

SDTV only If the TV does not have an S-Video input, use the composite video

SDTV only If the TV only has a coaxial RF input, connect it to the DCX3200

The YPbPr output provides three component analog video signals to the TV. It is the most widely supported HD video connection.

HDMI™ and IEEE-1394 provide higher-quality digital HD video signals than analog component video signals. If the TV has an HDMI™ or a DVI input, use the HDMI™ output instead of the IEEE-1394 output.

HDMI™ and IEEE-1394 are video and audio connections. If you use HDMI™ or IEEE-1394, no separate audio connection to the TV is required.

HDMI™ is compatible with DVI. If the TV has a DVI input, you can use an HDMI-to-DVI converter cable or adapter to connect the DVIequipped TV to the HDMI-equipped DCX3200.

If you use the IEEE-1394 connection, you will be unable to see onscreen graphics (such as the EPG).

3 INSTALLATION

Audio Connection Options

When connecting to a home theater receiver, depending on its inputs, you can use the following DCX3200 audio outputs:

HDMI

Digital audio optical (S/PDIF) or digital audio coaxial (S/PDIF)

Baseband Audio L / R

Unlike a DVI connection, an HDMI™ connection is capable of carrying digital video and audio signals to the TV or a home theater receiver equipped with HDMI™ switching support.

The HDMI™ connection can deliver Dolby Linear PCM, and other digital audio formats to a compatible TV or home theater receiver.

If the TV or home theater receiver supports it, use either the S/PDIF digital audio optical or S/PDIF digital audio coaxial outputs to deliver

Digital and Linear PCM audio to a Dolby® Digital home theater

Dolby receiver.

• For an HDMI™ or IEEE-1394 video connection, no additional audio connections to the TV are required.

• For RF output, no further audio connection is required.

If the audio receiver does not support Dolby® Digital, use the baseband AUDIO L and R outputs to connect to the audio receiver.

Digital Plus, Dolby® Digital,

Connect the stereo audio cable to the AUDIO L and R connectors on the DCX3200 and the audio left and right connectors on the TV. If the equipment supports it, use either the optical S/PDIF or coaxial digital S/PDIF output (there is no difference in audio quality between the two) instead of the AUDIO L and R outputs. These outputs offer better

audio quality, including support for Dolby

Digital 5.1 Surround Sound.

The cabling diagrams show audio/video (A/V) connections to an audio receiver, where the receiver functions as an A/V router. When connecting to an audio receiver, reference its installation guide for directions on connecting to baseband and digital audio ports.

The VCR and TV receive their A/V signals from the currently selected input device on the audio receiver. This is important when the subscriber has another A/V device such as a DVD player, a secondary VCR, a CD player, or other electronic component. Motorola recommends connecting the TV to the monitor output so on-screen menus for the receiver can be displayed. (Receivers themselves often have interactive on-screen menus.)

Installation Overview

1. Determine if you are connecting to a:

High-Definition TV or monitor

StandardDefinition TV

Use the component video (YPbPr), HDMI, or IEEE-1394 outputs. No other video connection supports HDTV.

If the TV has a DVI input, connect a DVI-to-HDMI adapter or cable to the HDMI™ out connector on the DCX set-top instead of the IEEE-1394 connection and the DVI-HDTV connector on the TV.

Connect the S-Video connector using an S-video cable or connect the composite video connector using a composite (RCA phono) cable. If the TV only has a coaxial RF input, connect it to the DCX3200 RF OUT connector.
