Connecting to the Remote TVs (TV1 or TV2)
• If connecting directly to a nearby TV tuner port, you must install the attenuator in the
cable between the H
OME DISTRIBUTION port and the TV tuner.
1 Connect the tuner input of the remote TVs in other rooms to an existing wall cable outlet
using a coaxial cable.
2 Turn on every remote TV connected to the in-home cabling system.
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 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 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.
If you have an over-the-air antenna or cable connected to your in-
home cable system, see Connecting an Over-the-Air Antenna
following this section.
Make sure you are familiar with how to change channels on your TV
and if necessary how to switch your TV between over-the-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’s guide for instructions.
