Connecting Your Device
For the best possible HDTV video quality:
1. If the TV has an HDMI input, connect it to the
DCX700 HDMI output. If the TV has a DVI input,
connect it to the DCX700 HDMI output using an
HDMI-to-DVI converter cable or adapter.
2. If the TV has neither an HDMI nor a DVI input but has
an IEEE-1394 input, connect it to the DCX700 IEEE-
1394 output.
If you use IEEE-1394, on-screen graphics do not
display. Otherwise, use the component video (Y, Pb,
and Pr) connectors.
L/R Audio connection or digital audio S/PDIF
connection is required for sound with DVI and
component video.
Note: Be sure to match up each signal to the same
connection on the TV. Otherwise, the colors will not
appear correctly on your TV.
Note: Because HDMI provides both video and audio output, no
additional audio connections to the TV are required.

Troubleshooting
Problem — If this occurs: Solution — Then do one of the following:
There is no audio
from the center and/or
surround speakers of a
home theater receiver
connected to the set-top
Not all Dolby Digital programs feature full 5.1 surround sound. In some cases, the programs may only contain•
left and right stereo audio.
Verify that the S/PDIF cable (coaxial or optical) is firmly connected to the set-top and the home theater•
receiver.
Verify that the home theater receiver is set to a surround sound audio mode (Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic II,•
Dolby Pro Logic).

No graphics or program
guides appear on the TV
screen
If you use the IEEE-1394 connection, on-screen graphics, including closed captions and program guides, are
not displayed by the set-top. On-screen graphics and captions may still be overlaid by your TV, if enabled.
Alternatively, use HDMI or component video instead.

11DCX700 Quick Start Guide
Problem — If this occurs: Solution — Then do one of the following:
No closed captions display Verify on the User Settings menu that closed captions are enabled on the set-top.• With the Set-top in
the power on state, the User Settings menu is accessed using the DCX700 remote by pressing Power
followed by Menu (within two seconds).
Verify that closed captions are enabled on the TV.•
Note: Closed captioning may not be available on the current program.
There are black bars to the
right and left of the picture
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 yourTV manual for information about stretching 4:3 video).
If the set-top 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.
There are black bars above
and below the picture
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 set-top is tuned to a 4:3 program.
Set the TV TYPE to 4:3 Pan-Scan.This enables the set-top 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 your TV manual for
information about zooming 4:3 video).
Troubleshooting

DCX700 Quick Start Guide 12
Troubleshooting
Problem — If this occurs: Solution — Then do one of the following:
There are black bars on all
four sides of the picture
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 set-top cannot correct the video. You may be able to minimize the border using the zoom
feature on the TV.
Colors do not appear
correctly
Be sure to match up each signal to the same YPbPr connection on the TV.
Otherwise, colors will not appear correctly on your TV.
