About the Settop
The settop provides the operating system for Passport DCT, and stores the Passport DCT settings
that subscribers set up. Subscribers navigate through Passport DCT with the remote control; the
settop picks up the remote control signals and passes them to Passport DCT. For more information
about the settop, refer to the settop documentation.
About the Remote Control
Subscribers use the remote control to control the VCR, the TV, the settop, and Passport DCT. To be
able to use the remote control, it must be programmed for the specific model of TV or VCR that the
subscriber has. For information about remote control programming, refer to the remote control
documentation.
