Wiring a Non-TracVision Receiver
– Marine Use Only
If you wish to connect a single non-TracVision
DIRECTV receiver to the system, you will need a
Single AC Receiver Add-on Kit (KVH part
number 72-0182). This kit includes a splitter, a
single-output destacker, connecting cables, and
instructions.
The output of the TracVision antenna is a special
stacked signal, which the TracVision receiver is
configured to decode. However, all standard,
non-TracVision DIRECTV receivers are
configured to decode unstacked signals instead.
Therefore, a destacker is needed to convert the
antenna’s stacked signal into an unstacked signal
that a non-TracVision receiver can decode.
The TracVision M3 is compatible with all
new DIRECTV receiver models
manufactured today (when wired in the
configuration shown on the previous page).
Older receiver models may function
differently, however, and KVH does not
support their use.
