Using the DHCT

Connecting the DHCT

After you connect the DHCT and any additional
electronic devices in your system, follow these
steps:

1. Verify that the DHCT is connected to the 75 

W

coaxial cable coming from the wall.

2. Plug the DHCT and other devices into your AC

power source.
Important:

 Do not press the Power key on the

DHCT.

3. Turn on the power to your TV and VCR, and

tune your TV and VCR to the input channel
assigned by your cable service provider (channel
3 or 4).

4. Wait for the time to display on the LED.
5. Press the Power key on the DHCT.
6. Program your remote control to operate your TV

and VCR. (For instructions see your remote
control user’s guide.)

Operating the DHCT

Choose one of the following options to operate the
DHCT:

• Press the Power key on the front panel of the

DHCT.

• Use your remote control keys. (Refer to your

remote control user’s guide for instructions on
which key or combination of keys to press.)

Control the volume and select channels using the
keys on the front panel of the DHCT or the remote
control keys.

Using the IPG, Remote Control, and
VCR Commander Module

Read the user’s guides that your cable service
provider included with the DHCT installation
package. These guides provide operating
instructions for using the IPG, your remote
control, and the VCR Commander module (if
available).
