Receiver Description and Installation

Tip: Using cable labels makes it easy to tell which cables connect to the receiver ports. Inside the front cover of this guide are stickers that are color coded the same way as the coaxial connections.

Channel:

Air/Cable:

Make sure you are familiar with how to change channels on your TV and if necessary how to switch your TV between off-air and cable channels. During this procedure, it will be necessary to change the channels on your TV(s) to tune to these channels to see the video from the receiver. See your TV user guide for instructions.

1.Connect CH 21-69 OUT on the receiver to your existing wall cable outlet using a coaxial cable.

Note: If you do not have an existing in-home cable system, you will need to run coaxial cable to each TV in other rooms. If this is too difficult, you may want to contact a professional to do this installation.

2.Place the yellow sticker on the CH 21-69 OUT cable near where the cable attaches to the receiver. See the tip in the margin.

3.Make sure batteries are installed in Remote Control 2 and the UHF antenna is attached to REMOTE ANTENNA port on the receiver.

4.Make sure the receiver's blue TV2 indicator is off. If it is on, turn it off by doing the following:

a.Press the SAT mode button on Remote Control 2 to put the remote control in SAT mode.

b.Press the POWER button on Remote Control 2 and make sure the receiver's TV2 blue indicator turns off.

5.Connect the tuner input of the remote TV(s) in other rooms to an existing wall cable outlet using a coaxial cable.

6.Turn on every remote TV connected to the in-home cabling system.

7.Find three channels next to each other on one of your remote TVs that do not pick up any signals from off-air or cable broadcasts (they should show nothing but snow or static). These channels must fall in one of the two ranges below. For example, if you find that cable channels 75, 76, and 77 do not pickup any broadcasts, pick these channels since they fall into the range below for cable channels. Make sure these three channels on other remote TVs also do not pick up broadcasts.

•Air Mode - Select a channel between 21 and 69.

•Cable Mode - Select a channel between 73 and 125.

Note: The remote TV(s) will have to be set to the same channel mode, either off-air or cable channel mode for this installation. See your TV user guide for instructions on how to set your TV to off-air or cable channel modes.

8.Pick the channel in the middle of the three you selected in step 7. Write that channel down in the blank provided in the margin. For example, if the three channels you picked in the preceding step were cable channels 75, 76, and 77, pick channel 76 and write it in the margin.
