Connecting to the Remote TVs (TV1 or TV2)
Chapter 12
3 Find three channels next to each other on one of your remote TVs that do not pick up any
signals from over-the-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 pick up 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 if your TV(s) will be set in Air Mode.
• Cable Mode - Select a channel between 73 and 125 if your TV(s) will be set in Cable
Mode.
Note: The remote TV(s) will have to be set to the same channel mode, either air or cable
channel mode for this installation. See your TV user’s guide for instructions on how to set
your TV to air or cable channel modes.
4 Pick the channel in the middle of the three you selected in step 3. Write that channel down
in the blank provided in step 5. For example, if the three channels you picked in the
preceding step were air channels 60, 61, and 62, pick channel 61 and write it in the space
provided in step 5.
5 If your TV is in over-the-air mode for the channels you picked in step 4, circle “Air” below.
If your TV is in cable mode for the channels you picked in step 4, circle “Cable” below. If
you are using these instructions for TV1 and TV2, pick different channels (for example,
Channel 60 for TV1 and Channel 64 for TV2).
6 Set all of your remote TV(s) to the channel mode (air or cable) you wrote in step 5.
7 Tune all of your remote TV(s) to the channel(s) you wrote in step 5. This is the channel
you will use to receive your satellite programming.
8 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.
9 Place the yellow sticker on the CH 21-69 Out cable near where the cable attaches to the
receiver. The stickers are located inside the front cover of this guide.
10 Turn on the nearby TV (the TV that gets programming from the TV1 outputs).
11 Make sure the receiver's green TV1 indicator is on.
12 Press MENU. Select System Setup, Installation, and then Modulator Setup.
