Important safety instructions
Please read this guide thoroughly and follow every recommendation before using the terminal.
1. Location, installation and ventilation
a) Install the terminal so that its position does not interfere
with its proper ventilation. For example, do not place it on a
bed, sofa, rug or any similar surface.
b) Install the terminal away from heat sources such
as radiators, heat registers or on a book shelf, unless
adequate ventilation is provided.
c) Place the terminal in a stable location able to support
its weight.
2. Cleaning and accessories
Unplug the device before cleaning. Do not use liquid or
aerosol cleaners. Use a dry cloth instead. Do not use the
terminal near water or in a very humid environment. Only
use accessories specified by the manufacturer.
3. Contact with objects or liquids
Never insert objects of any kind through the terminal
openings, as they may cause a fire or an electric shock.
Avoid spreading any kind of liquid on the terminal.
4. Power supply
This device must be plugged into a power supply indicated
on the adapter. In case you doubt the type of power
supply to your home, contact your power company. Avoid
overloading outlets, extension cords or power bars. This
equipment has a polarized alternating current line plug
(with one blade wider than the other). The plug will fit into
a power outlet only one way, which is a safety feature.
Such safety measure as the polarized plug should be fully
observed.
5. Electrical cords safety
Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched,
particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles and the
point where they exit from the apparatus.
6. Maintenance
Do not attempt any repair or maintenance or you could be
exposed to dangerous voltages and other hazards. Refer
all servicing to one of our qualified technicians.
7. Damages requiring repair by a technician
a) Plug or power cord is damaged.
b) Apparatus has been exposed to water or other liquids.
c) Apparatus has been dropped, housing has been
damaged or objects have fallen on the apparatus.
d) Obvious change in terminal performance, indicating a
need for maintenance.
If the terminal stops functioning normally according to the
user guide, follow instructions described in the guide only.
Any other adjustments of the other setting features may
cause damages requiring considerable repair time by a
technician to bring the apparatus back to normal.
Should you have a problem which is not listed here,
please contact our technical support.

Recording capacity (DCT6412/6416/3416)
Front panel
Recording capacity varies with video format. Here are a few guidelines to determine recording capacity:
• Digital shows: Digital cable shows are from channel 100 and above. Up to 100 hours of standard digital format programming
can be recorded with the DCT6416/3416 and up to 75 hours with the DCT6412.
• High definition shows (HD TV): Shows aired in high definition can be recorded in the same format, as long as your PVR
is connected to an HD television set. Up to 20 hours of HD programming can be recorded with DCT6416/3416, and up to 25
hours with DCT6412.
Neither the maker nor the TV guide provider can guarantee the exact amount of programming data that can be recorded. The
approximate time depends on the type of program.
GUIDE TIP: PVR is not a long-term storage device. To maximize your storage space, review the contents of your library
regularly and discard the recordings you no longer wish to save.
The DCT front panel includes 12 buttons and a LED display screen. These buttons are used for basic functions, such as
accessing the interactive program guide, navigation menus and pay-per-view programs.

Turning power on and off
To turn terminal on or off, make sure the remote control is in CABLE mode by pressing CBL, then POWER. The POWER light
indicator will light up on the terminal front panel.
Changing channel
Make sure the remote control is in CABLE mode and punch in the channel number you want to tune to, or press CHANNEL +/-
on the remote control to select a channel. If you are having difficulties, consult the remote control user guide.
Interactive guide
Press GUIDE on the remote control. The interactive guide will display the current program information and allow you to access
options such as Parental control.
Volume
Your terminal and television set have independent volume settings. However, for an optimal sound quality, volume should be
at the highest setting on the terminal and be controlled through the TV. It is recommended to lock VOL +/- button in TV mode.
This procedure can be found in your remote control user guide.
TV INPUT
With conventional analog cable, switching channels was done directly on the TV set. With digital cable, channel selection is
done through the terminal. You must select the source of the signal to be displayed on your TV screen. To do so, press the
source button that can either be called INPUT or TV/VIDEO. On the terminal remote control, press INPUT and the TV set will
display the current source.
The connection varies from one TV brand to the other. To make sure you have the right connection, locate connections on the
back of your TV set to identify each source.
For example, a cable plugged in the screwed connector is actually connected on the TV connection. Press INPUT until a
channel is displayed on the monitor.
