Overview 2-5 Cofiguratio Optios The DCT 1000 platform supports a variety of cofiguratios. These optios allow your compay to offer optios tailored to the eeds of idividual subscribers. Figure 2-3 shows the various optios available for the DCT 1000 platform. Figure 2-3 DCT 1000 optios

2-6 Overview The followig table describes the fuctio of each of the optios show i Figure 2-3. Optioal Module Fuctio Used i a dual cable system to receive both cables. Please verify the locatio of the A ad B coectors o your particular A/B switch. They may be reversed. Used to receive off-the-air sigals from a atea, or used to watch ad/or record chaels at the same time. Allows the cable sigal to bypass the cable termial ad go directly to a TV or VCR. A RF Bypass switch is iteral o some DCT 1000 termials. Before istallig a exteral switch, verify that the termial does ot have a iteral switch. Used i a two-way addressable system to sed impulse pay-per-view (IPPV) iformatio to the ACC 4000D or other cotroller through the retur system. Used i a two-way addressable system to sed impulse pay-per-view (IPPV) iformatio to the ACC 4000D or other cotroller through the subscriber s telephoe hookup. Remote Cotrols The basic DCT 1000 uses the XRC 100 remote cotrol. If your system offers a optioal electroic program guide, a differet remote cotrol may be required; refer to Sectio 5, TV Guide O Scree. The XRC 100 may require programmig before use; refer to its user guide for programmig istructios.

Overview 2-7 XRC 100 Remote Cotrol Figure 2-4 illustrates the XRC 100. Figure 2-4 XRC 100 remote cotrol Istallig Batteries i Remote Cotrol Before a remote cotrol ca be used, two AA (1.5 volt) alkalie batteries must be istalled i it. Battery access is located o the back of the remote cotrol. To istall batteries i a XRC 100: Press ad slide the battery compartmet cover off. 1 Place the batteries i the compartmet beig careful to observe the correct polarity. 2 Slide the battery compartmet cover back ito place.

Sectio 3 Istallatio This sectio provides step-by-step istructios for istallig ad cablig the cable termial i the subscriber s locatio. The cablig diagrams show i this sectio iclude the followig cofiguratios, both with ad without PPV optios (STARFONE ad STARVUE II): Stadard wirig A/B Switch-out A/B Switch-i If you are addig a VCR or stereo compoets to the cofiguratio, see Sectio 4, Addig a VCR or Stereo Compoets, for cablig suggestios. Before You Begi Before begiig the istallatio process, do the followig: Look at the TV set or moitor to determie if it is a stadard TV or a composite (basebad) moitor. Make certai you have the correct coectig cables. Make certai you have the correct coectig cables for the audio coectors. Determie if you are goig to coect a VCR to the DCT 1000 cable termial. If the subscriber locatio requires a A/B switch-i, a A/B switch-out, or a STARVUE II or STARFONE module, istall these optios before begiig cablig. Istallatio of these uits is described i the istallatio istructios provided with them. After istallatio is completed, the cable termial should be placed o a smooth, flat surface with o obstructios to iterfere with the free flow of air over, uder, ad aroud the cable termial. Tell the subscriber that othig should be placed o top of the uit. Istallig the DCT 1000 To istall the DCT 1000 i your subscriber s site: Refer to the sectio that describes the cablig for the subscriber s cable termial cofiguratio: stadard wirig (page 3-2), A/B switch-out (page 3-4); or A/B switch-i (page 3-6). 1 Follow the geeral istructios as you do the cablig. 2 Perform the basic operatioal check begiig o page 3-8 after you successfully istall the cable termial. 3 Check the troubleshootig suggestios o page 3-9 if you have a problem with the operatioal check.

3-2 Istallatio Geeral Cofiguratio Istructios The DCT 1000 cable termial is available i umerous cofiguratios. The cablig for each cofiguratio is illustrated i this sectio. Use these geeral istallatio istructios ad the cablig illustratios to istall the termial i the subscriber locatio. To istall the DCT 1000 cable termial: Coect the 75-Ohm coaxial cable drop to the F-type coector that is labeled RF IN o the cable termial. 1 If your cofiguratio icludes a STARVUE II module, coect the 75-Ohm coaxial cable jumper as show o the appropriate cofiguratio illustratio. 2 To coect the video, do oe of the followig: For a covetioal TV set, use a 75-Ohm coaxial cable with F-type coectors to coect the cable termial labeled TO TV either directly to the iput of the TV set or through a matchig trasformer to the 300-Ohm iput of the set. For a moitor, use a cable with a RCA coector to coect the cable termial labeled VIDEO to the moitor. 3 Plug the TV set ito the coveiece outlet o the back of the cable termial. Stadard Wirig Cablig Diagrams Figure 3-1 illustrates a stadard wirig cofiguratio. If the cable termial has a RF or telephoe retur modem, use Figure 3-2 or Figure 3-3) to determie the correct wirig for the cofiguratio. Figure 3-1 Stadard wirig without a PPV module

3-8 Istallatio Figure 3-10 A/B switch-i with a STARFONE module Operatioal Check The operatioal check tests the commuicatio lik betwee the remote cotrol ad the cable termial. The procedures verify the termial s respose to the remote cotrol commads. You use the remote cotrol to test a basic cable termial. If the termial does ot operate properly, refer to the Troubleshootig sectio. Testig Procedure Actio Power o 1 Press ad release the POWER key to tur o the termial. 2 Tur o the TV ad tue it to the output chael of the cable termial (chael 3 or 4). Chael Selectio 1 Sca through the chaels usig the CHANNEL keys o the cable termial ad the CHAN keys o the remote cotrol. 2 Tue to several chaels by eterig the chael umber with the umeric keys o the remote cotrol. Volume Cotrol 3 Usig the TV set volume cotrol, adjust the soud volume to a moderate level. 4 Usig the VOL key o the remote cotrol, icrease the volume to its upper limit. 5 Agai usig the VOL key, reduce the volume to its lowest level. Adjust the volume to a comfortable level usig the VOL key. 6 Press MUTE to tur the soud completely off. Press MUTE agai to restore the soud.

Istallatio 3-9 Troubleshootig Occasioally a termial may fail to operate as described. Follow these suggestios to correct problems: Press ad release operatio keys oe at a time, firmly ad deliberately. Aim the remote cotrol directly at the cable termial, ot the TV or VCR. Be sure there are o obstructios betwee the remote cotrol ad the cable termial. Be certai that the TV set is tued to the output chael of the termial (chael 3 or 4). If the chaels ca be chaged with the cable termial buttos, but ot with the remote cotrol keys, the problem may be a weak remote cotrol battery or the termial is ot iitialized correctly.
