RF Bypass Switch VCR Cabling Diagrams
Proper operation of the RF Bypass feature requires special configuration in the control system
and in the EPG settings.
The STARFONE return module is used in a one-way addressable system to send information to
the controller through the subscriber’s telephone hookup. Figure 3-4 illustrates the cabling
diagram that enables viewing an unscrambled analog channel on TV while recording another
channel through the DCT 2000:

If the operator plans to implement two-way RF return functionality in the future, the installer
should use the integrated STARVUE RF return.
