[QUOTE=graffron]I also have the Motorola 6412 with a CyberHome 1600 DVD recorder. I cannot get a picture to the DVD recorder. When I disconnect the Firewire cable, I get the error "no signal' on the monitor. When I connect the cable, the error message goes away, but the screen is still blank.

I have checked the d11 interface status in the diagnostics mode on the Motorola, and the 1394 I/O device has Active Ports = 1, and the 5C implementation = 0. I have tried both firewire outputs on the Motorola.

I have downloaded and installed the latest firmware on the DVD recorder. I am using the S-video output to a Sony 4x3 TV. I have rebooted both Motorola and CyberHome.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

The DCT6412 has 2 6-pin firewire ports. When facing the back of the DCT6412 make sure you use the firewire port on the right hand side (left side if looking from the front) There seems to be a problem using the other firewire port. You might need a 6 to 4 cable or 6 to 6 depending on your DVD recorder. The IEEE1394 output on the DCT6412 outputs MPEG2 only (NOT DV).

Make sure you have the correct cable. It does work!
