What to do if my Motorola DCX700 Set-top boxes remote control does not work?
- R
  Robert BarronAug 16, 2025
  If your Motorola Set-top box remote control isn't working, make sure it's in STB mode and that there are no obstacles between the remote and the set-top box. Aim directly at the front panel, not the TV or VCR, and ensure you're not too far to the side. Press keys firmly and deliberately, one at a time. Also, check and replace the batteries if needed.

  If your Motorola set-top box won't power on, it might be updating software; try again in a few minutes. Ensure the AC power cord is connected to both the set-top box and an AC outlet, and try unplugging and plugging it back in. If it's connected to a switched outlet, make sure that unit is powered on, or use an unswitched outlet if possible.

  If there is no video on the TV screen, first verify that the TV is on and set to the correct input source for the set-top box. Ensure the set-top box is powered on and tuned to an authorized cable channel. Check that all video cables and the coaxial cable are firmly connected. If connected to a home theater unit, ensure it is powered on and set to the correct input. For HDMI connections, try powering off both the TV and set-top box, waiting a second, and then powering them back on. If using HDTV, cycle through available output formats in the User Settings menu until a picture displays.

If connected to a home theater receiver, ensure it's set to the correct input and isn't muted. Also, verify that you're using the correct audio cables and that they are firmly connected between the set-top box and your TV, receiver, or DVD player.

  If you're not getting audio from the center or surround speakers of your home theater receiver connected to the Motorola set-top box, remember that not all Dolby Digital programs feature full 5.1 surround sound. Verify that the S/PDIF cable is firmly connected to both the set-top box and receiver. Ensure the receiver is set to a surround sound mode like Dolby Digital or Dolby Pro Logic, and that it's configured to work with all connected speakers.

  Sean BrockSep 8, 2025
  If you're seeing black bars on all four sides of the picture on your Motorola set-top box, and you have a 4:3 TV, this may occur if the 4:3 OVERRIDE setting is OFF. Set 4:3 OVERRIDE to 480i or 480p to fill the screen, depending on your TV's capabilities. This can also happen on a 16:9 TV if the active video for an SD broadcast is in letterbox format.
