GETTING STARTED
Before you connect your DCT6200, be sure to review the following:
• Disconnect power from the DCT6200 before connecting or changing cable connections.
• For basic cable connections, use 75-ohm coaxial cables equipped with F-type connectors.
• A coaxial cable is provided to connect the DCT6200 to your cable wall outlet. A component video
cable and left/right audio cables are also provided to connect the DCT6200 to your TV.
• If you are connecting a coaxial cable from the TO TV/VCR connector on the DCT6200 to the coaxial
CABLE/ANTENNA IN connector on the TV, you must tune your TV to channel 3 or 4 to view the
DCT6200 output. Connecting the DCT6200 in this manner will remove its high definition video
output capability.
CAUTION!
Do not place anything on top of the DCT6200, especially other home entertainment components. Be sure to
provide adequate ventilation to prevent overheating.

8
CONNECTING YOUR DCT6200
This section describes how to connect the DCT6200 to your home entertainment system. Instructions and
diagrams are included for the following connections to the DCT6200:
• High Definition Television (HDTV)
• A/V Receiver
• HDTV and D-VHS Digital VCR
• Stereo TV
• Stereo TV and Stereo VCR
• Stereo TV and Mono VCR
• A/V Receiver, TV, and Stereo VCR
• Stereo TV, Stereo or Mono VCR, and DVD
Video Options
Before connecting your TV to the DCT6200, you must determine which type of video connection to use.
The DCT6200 offers five different video options. The options, listed in order from highest to lowest video
quality, are:
• DVI
• IEEE 1394
• Component video (YPbPr)
• S-Video
• Video (also referred to as composite video)
To determine whether your TV features DVI, IEEE 1394, component video, S-Video, or composite video,
check the manual supplied with your TV to determine the best connection available.
High definition video can only be viewed with DVI, IEEE 1394, or component video connections.
DVI, IEEE 1394, and component video allow you to view both high definition (HD) and standard TV
programming. Composite video and RF coaxial connections allow you to view only standard definition TV
programming.
If your TV has a DVI input, connect to the DVI-D connections on your DCT6200 instead of the IEEE 1394
or component video connections (Y, Pb, and Pr connectors).
If your TV doesn’t have a DVI input but does have an IEEE 1394 connector, connect to the IEEE 1394
connection on your DCT6200 instead of the component video connections (Y, Pb, and Pr connectors).
The IEEE 1394 is a video and audio connection, so no audio connections are required if you are using
the IEEE 1394 connection.
If component video connections are not available on your TV, use the S-Video connections.

CONNECTING YOUR DCT6200 TO AN HDTV
Video Connections
DVI, IEEE 1394, and component video provide the highest level of picture quality. If your TV has a DVI
input, connect to the DVI-D connections on your DCT6200 instead of the component video connections
(Y, Pb and Pr connectors).
For instructions on connecting for IEEE 1394, see “Connecting your DCT6200 to an HDTV and D-VHS”
on page 13.
For the connections described on the following page you will need these cables:
RF (75 ohm)
(supplied)
DVI
or
Component video
(supplied)

10
To connect your video connection(s) for HDTV:
1 Connect an RF coaxial cable to the cable wall outlet and the CABLE IN connector on the DCT6200.
2 Connect an DVI cable to the DVI-D OUT connector on the DCT6200 and the DVI-HDTV connector on
your TV:

Audio Connections for an A/V Receiver
There are three options available for audio connections to your A/V receiver:
• Optical (OPTICAL SPDIF)
• Coaxial (SPDIF)
• Stereo audio (AUDIO Rand L)
If your equipment supports it, the optical (OPTICAL SPDIF) or coaxial (SPDIF) audio outputs may be used in
place of the stereo audio outputs (AUDIO R and L). In most cases these outputs offer a higher level of
audio quality, including support for 5.1 surround sound.
To connect your audio connections for an A/V receiver, choose one of the following:
• Optical SPDIF: Connect the optical SPDIF cable to the OPTICAL SPDIF connector on the DCT6200
and the OPTICAL connector on the A/V receiver.
• SPDIF: Connect the digital audio cable to the SPDIF connector on the DCT6200 and the DIGITAL
INPUT COAX connector on the A/V receiver.
• Stereo audio: Connect the stereo audio cable to the AUDIO OUT R and Lconnectors on the DCT6200
and the AUDIO RIGHT and AUDIO LEFT connectors on the A/V receiver.
