Accessory Jack
If you connect a
Power Cord
Even when the receiver front panel’s green POWER LED is off, the receiver keeps working and it needs power. So, don’t unplug the receiver’s power cord unless you need to move the receiver or if it will not be used for an extended period of time.
Before moving the receiver, unplug the power cord and let the receiver sit for at least 30 seconds! Always handle the receiver gently to protect the delicate parts it has inside.
UHF Remote Antenna Input
The receiver uses the antenna to get UHF signals from the remote control. Connect the UHF antenna here, and set it so it doesn’t touch anything. Set the antenna straight up so you can use the remote control as far away as possible.
Attach an Attenuator
Stray UHF signals (from your neighbor’s remote control, for example) can block signals from the remote control to the receiver. To help prevent blocks, you can install a 10 dB attenuator (you can buy one from a consumer electronics parts store).
Note: This will help keep out stray UHF signals, but also cut down how far away you can use the remote control.
1. Take the UHF antenna off of the receiver’s back panel UHF REMOTE ANTENNA input.
2. Put a 10 dB attenuator onto the UHF REMOTE ANTENNA input.
3. Put the UHF antenna onto the attenuator.
The Receiver
Tip: If the receiver does unexpected things (for example, changes channels, starts DVR features randomly), you may have to install a 10 dB attenuator to block stray UHF signals. You can buy one of these attenuators at almost any electronic parts store.
