•Press CHANNEL ▲or ▼on the front panel of the DCT 2000, 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
NOTE
It is important to remember not to place anything
on top of the DCT 2000 and to provide for
adequate ventilation to prevent overheating.
Before you begin to hookup your DCT 2000, 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-type
connectors.
•Disconnect power from the DCT 2000 before connecting or changing
cable connections.
•Do not place anything on top of the DCT 2000, especially other
home video components.

Standard TV Cabling
Use 75-ohm coaxial cables to connect your DCT 2000 to a TV. This is the
most common cable connection and provides all of the basic features of the
DCT 2000.
If you are using a diagram that connects the coaxial TO TV/VCR connector on
the DCT 2000 to the coaxial CABLE IN connector on the TV, you must tune
your TV to channel 3 or 4.
The illustrated connections will not provide stereo on digital channels. Connect the
DCT 2000 using RCA baseband connectors to receive stereo on digital channels
(illustrated later in this section).

Composite Baseband and S-Video
Connecting the DCT 2000 using the baseband RCA type outputs enables
you to experience stereo and Dolby Surround®sound on digital channels
when available.
When connecting the video path, never connect baseband composite video and
S-Video together. Because some entertainment equipment will not support both
video inputs simultaneously, use only one connection path.

Baseband with Dolby Digital
This diagram illustrates audio and video connections to a Dolby Digital
receiver. This configuration enables you to record on the VCR and playback
with sound through the Dolby Digital receiver.
If you use the Dolby Digital SPDIF output, you must connect both the left/right
baseband audio out from the DCT 2000 and the SPDIF ports to the digital
receiver. The SPDIF port does not carry audio for analog.
