Overview
DCT6200\DCT6208 Installation Manual
Triple Tuner
The DCT* has a unique Triple Tuner™ architecture. One tuner is dedicated to video services,
another to the DOCSIS channel for high-speed data services, and the third tuner is used for the
out-of-band control channel.
The DCT6208 can record one live program through a single video tuner, which allows a
subscriber to record a live program while simultaneously watching a recorded program.
Front Panel
The front panel contains selection and tuning buttons, various displays, the power switch, and
connectors for USB, audio and video. The front panel controls provide functional navigation of
the DCT* if the remote control is lost or is temporarily out of service. Certain functions, such as
those requiring a numeric entry, require a remote control.
