WIRING YOUR SYSTEM TOGETHER
MULTIPLE RECEIVERS
Each output on the LNBF can support a single receiver. You cannot connect two
receivers to the same output (for example, by using a line splitter), because the two receivers
would interfere with each other during channel selection. This is a characteristic of satellite
television in general, and is not a limitation that is specific to this system.
If you want to connect two receivers to the same satellite antenna and be able to watch
different channels through each, you must use a dual-output LNBF. This allows you to
connect each receiver to a different output, preventing interference between the receivers.
In this case, during installation you must run a separate coaxial cable from each output on
the LNBF to each receiver.
If you want to purchase an LNBF different from the one that you originally purchased,
contact your local satellite dealer or call the Service Center.
The following wiring setups assume installation of a single receiver. If you are installing
multiple receivers, modify your wiring accordingly.
ABOUT CABLING AND CONNECTIONS
The way in which you wire your system and the kinds of cabling you choose can make a
noticeable difference in the quality of the picture and sound. No doubt you will want to
wire your system to take advantage of the highest quality supported by your equipment.
You will need to examine your electronic equipment to determine what type of connectors
and cables, and which wiring setup to use.
Do the following.
1. Look on the back of each piece of equipment that you are planning to install with the
recorder and note the type of connectors on the equipment.
2. Starting from the connectors that support the highest quality, determine which pieces of
equipment can be connected together using the designated type of cable.
3. Review the wiring setups beginning on page 7-21 to choose which one is the closest to
your planned configuration.
4. Use that setup as the basic plan to wire your system together. If you have additional
components, or do not have all of the components that are in the setup, adjust the wiring
accordingly.
