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.

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

2. Use the UP/DOWN channel or cursor keys on the remote control to scroll through all
10 frequencies until the desired new OOB frequency is found. The new frequency
selections will appear on the “MAN FREQ” line of the OSD.

3. When the desired new frequency has been selected, press the SELECT key on the
remote control to start the search. The manual frequency search will last up to 40
seconds. On the OSD, the “MAN FREQ” line of text will be cleared, the “HUNT
MODE” will display “FIX” to indicate a search on a fixed frequency, and the “OOB
FREQ” field will change to the frequency being searched for.

4. If the frequency is found with the proper EMM Provider ID, the OSD “LKC” field will
change to display the new frequency.

DCX set-top when it is tuned to a Standard-Definition. Options include 480i,
480p, Stretch, and Off. By default, the 480i option is selected. The options are
used as follows:

• 480i — The DCX set-top will present Standard-Definition programs in the
Standard-Definition 480i format (720 x 480 pixels).

• 480p — The DCX set-top will present Standard-Definition programs in the
Enhanced-Definition 480p format (720 x 480 pixels).

• Stretch — The DCX set-top will automatically stretch all Standard­Definition programs to a widescreen aspect ratio and present the video in
the format designated by the HDMI/YPbPr Output setting. Note that the
Stretch option is only available when the TV Type setting is 16:9.

• Off — The DCX will create a widescreen version of a Standard-Definition
program by adding black bars to the left and the right of the picture and
present the video in the format designated by the HDMI/YPbPr Output
setting.

Some televisions may only support certain video formats. Please consult the
television’s user manual for more information on format compatibility.

If the HDMI/YPbPr Output setting is 480i, the 4:3 Override feature is disabled
and is no longer selectable in the menu. The 4:3 Override feature is available
when the HDMI/YPbPr Output setting is 1080i, 720p, or 480p.

Turns closed captions off or on. The OSD indicates the status of the closed
captions. Defaults to DISABLED. Options are ENABLED or DISABLED.

Verify that the TV is powered on and set to the appropriate input source for the
DCX set-top.

Verify that the DCX set-top is powered on and tuned to an authorized cable
channel.

Verify that all video cables between the DCX set-top and the TV are firmly
connected.

Verify that the coaxial cable feed is firmly connected to the DCX set-top and the
wall jack.

• If the DCX set-top video output is connected to a home theater unit,
verify that the home theater unit is powered on and set to the appropriate
input source.

• If the DCX set-top video output is connected to a TV through an HDMI™
connection, power off the TV and then power off the DCX set-top. Wait
one second and then power on the devices.

Not all HDTVs can display every output format (1080i, 720p, 480p, or 480i)
available on the DCX set-top. To select a different format:

1. Ensure that your DCX set-top is plugged into a power outlet and is turned
off.

2. Press the MENU key on the remote control. Your settings are displayed on
the DCX set-top OSD.

3. Press the ▲ and ▼ keys to display the HDMI/YPbPr OUTPUT setting.

4. Press the ► key to cycle through the available output formats until a
picture displays on the TV.

If you use the IEEE-1394 connection, on-screen graphics, including closed
captions and program guides, are not displayed by the DCX set-top. On-screen
graphics and captions may still be overlaid by the TV, if enabled. Alternatively,
use HDMI™ or component video instead.

Verify on the User Settings menu that closed captions are enabled on the DCX
set-top.

Verify that closed captions are enabled on the TV.

Note: Closed captioning may not be available on the current program.

Widescreen TVs display 4:3 programs in this format unless set to Stretch. Turn
on the 4:3 OVERRIDE feature in the User Settings menu. This enables most
widescreen TVs to stretch the video to fill the screen (see the TV manual for
information about stretching 4:3 video).

• If the DCX3200 is connected to a widescreen TV, verify that the TV TYPE
is set to 16:9 in the User Settings menu.

Many HD programs are broadcast in pillar-box format with black bars to the left
and right of the picture. These programs are broadcast in 16:9 HD formats,
even though the video is not 16:9.

Colors do
not appear
correctly

All 4:3 HDTVs display HD programs in letterbox format (black bars above and
below the picture) because of the shape of the display screen.

• Turn on the 4:3 OVERRIDE feature in the User Settings menu. This
enables most standard-screen TVs to display a full screen picture when
the DCX3200 is tuned to a 4:3 program.

• Set the TV TYPE to 4:3 Pan-Scan. This enables the DCX3200 to remove
the black bars above and below the picture when possible.

Some SD programs are broadcast in the letterbox format with black bars above
and below the picture. Some widescreen TVs offer a zoom feature that may be
able to remove the black bars (see the TV manual for information about
zooming 4:3 video).

This may occur on a 4:3 TV if the 4:3 OVERRIDE setting is OFF. To set 4:3 SD
programming to fill the screen, depending on the capabilities of the TV, set
4:3 OVERRIDE to 480i or 480p.

This may occur on a 16:9 TV if the active video for an SD broadcast is in
letterbox format. To confirm, wait for a commercial or look for a graphic, such
as a network logo. If the commercial fills the screen from top to bottom, or the
graphic appears below the active video, the program is being letterboxed by
the broadcaster. You can minimize this by activating the zoom feature on the
TV.

A broadcaster may include black bars on either side of a widescreen broadcast.
This is called a “hybrid” aspect ratio and results in a black border surrounding
the video on a 4:3 TV. Because this is part of the broadcast, the DCX3200
cannot correct the video. You may be able to minimize the border using the
zoom feature on the TV.

Be sure to match up each signal to the same YPbPr connection on the TV.
Otherwise, colors will not appear correctly on the TV.
