Connecting to the Remote TVs (TV1 or TV2)
•If your TV(s) do not have a picture or if it is not as clear as you would like it to be, go to the next
step.
16 You may need to change the cable connection on the splitter that sends the TV signal throughout
your house. The change that needs to be made is move the cable coming from the receiver CH
21-69 Out from the output of the splitter to the input of the splitter using the instructions that follow.
The following figure shows an example of what your splitter may look like. Your splitter may look
different. The places where the splitter indicates Out refers to all TVs connected to your cable sys-
tem. The places where the splitter indicates In refers to where the TV signal is fed into the splitter.
17 Find where the TV signal is distributed throughout your house. It should be near where the cable
TV service enters the house.
18 Disconnect the cable TV service cable or antenna cable from the splitter input, if necessary. Make
sure the disconnected cable is capped or otherwise protected from the weather. Disconnect the
cable coming from the receiver CH 21–69 Out port from the splitter. If you do not know which cable
this is, go to the next step. Otherwise, go to step 20.
19 If you have multiple TVs on the cable system, do the following to determine which cable on the
splitter is coming from the receiver:
•If you have at least some picture on your TV(s), turn on all remote TVs connected to the cable
system. Disconnect and reconnect each cable one by one observing what happens to the
TV(s). When all remote TVs lose the signal, you have disconnected the receiver’s cable. If
only some or one TV loses the signal, then you have disconnected a cable from the TV(s).
•If the above step does not work, disconnect one of the output cables and connect to the
splitter input. If you do not see a picture, connect the cable back to its output. Repeat this step
on every connection until you get a picture on the remote TV(s).
20 Reconnect the receiver’s cable to the input of the splitter. Make sure you have a good picture on
your remote TV(s).
21 If desired to remind you of which TV channel your satellite programming is on, write the channel
number you wrote in step 5 on a blank channel sticker and place it on or near your remote TV(s).
The stickers are inside the front cover of this guide.
