Use this diagram to record cable connections from the rear panel. Later, you can use this diagram to reconnect your system if you move the equipment or add new equipment. Disconnect the power from the DCT2000 before connecting or changing cable connections. Do not place another component or object on top of the DCT2000.
BASIC OPERATION Turning Power On and Off Press POWER on the front panel to turn the DCT2000 on or off. If using the remote control, be sure it is in cable mode by pressing CABLE and then press POWER. Changing Channels You can change channels in two ways: • Press CHANNEL ▲ or ▼ on the front panel of the DCT2000, or press CHANNEL + or - on the remote control to step through the channel selection. • Enter the number of the channel you want to tune using the numeric keys on the remote control.
AUDIO/VIDEO CONNECTIONS Before you begin to hook up your DCT2000, review the following: • For basic cable connections, use 75-ohm coaxial cables equipped with F-type connectors. You can find coaxial cables in your local electronics store. • For audio or video outputs, use cables equipped with RCA and SVideo type connectors. • If you are connecting the coaxial TO TV/VCR connector on the DCT2000 to the coaxial CABLE / ANTENNA IN connector on the TV, you must tune your TV to channel 3 or 4.
