CONNECTING THE TV USING COAXIAL CABLE 

1. 

Use the coaxial cable that comes with Janus to connect your TV’s antenna input to the Janus’s “TV 
OUT” connector. 

2. 

Tune your TV to channel 3 or channel 4 to view the output (depending on selection of the on-screen 
user menu). 

 

NOTE

:  

 

In the TV OUT, factory set to use channel 3. 

 

You can change the channel ID by using the on-screen user menu. The new channel ID will take effect 
after restarting Janus.

SETTING UP TV TO USE CATV 

In order for the Janus to feed video signal to TV using RF TV, your TV must be configured to receive signal 
from CATV rather than from the antenna. 
 
Most TVs use either a physical switch located on the rear of the TV or with on-screen programming to 
configur

e to use CATV. Consult your TV owner’s manual for instruction if required.
