Installation Tips

Follow these tips for proper DHCT operation:

Do not plug the DHCT into a wall outlet that is controlled by a wall switch. The IPG data does not update when the outlet is switched to the off position.

You can plug your TV into the AC Switched Outlet on the back of the DHCT.

To ensure proper ventilation, do not place any objects on top of the DHCT, including devices such as your TV.

If your TV is equipped with a picture-in-picture (PIP) feature, see the connection diagram on page 13.
