Chapter 1

Installing External Receivers

The P80 Media Adapter option allows a P80 console to display content provided by external receivers instead of the console's internal tuner. For those facilities that use such receivers to process incoming TV signals, the Media Adapter provides the exercisers with exactly the same user experience. They select television channels from the same channel guide and switch between television and other information (such as Preva Net or the Goal Compass) in the same way.

The Media Adapter accepts 720p x 60 fps video signals through an HDMI connection from one of several different external receivers. (Refer to the receiver list accompanying this manual for the receiver brands and models we support.) The only control mechanism that these receivers have in common is an infrared (IR) remote control. Because of this, the P80 Media Adapter acts as the remote control for each receiver that is certified to work with it.

Caution: Be sure to install, configure, and test the external receiver and channel guide for the first P80 console before you perform the procedures in this chapter for the other consoles. Once an IR transmitter is attached to each receiver, it cannot be removed easily.
