Wiring Multiple Receivers
– Marine Use Only
•
If you wish to connect more than two receivers to
the system, KVH recommends you install an
active multiswitch along with a dual-output
destacker and a splitter. The Multiple AC
Receivers Add-on Kit (KVH part number
72-0181) includes the dual-output destacker and a
splitter. The active multiswitch is sold separately
(KVH part number 19-0123).
•
An
active
multiswitch amplifies the signal to
compensate for signal loss. A simple splitter or
passive multiswitch does not provide the
necessary amplification.
•
A dual-output destacker is needed to modify the
TV signal for connection to a multiswitch.
•
You can connect multiple TracVision and/or non-
TracVision receivers to the multiswitch. However,
any additional TracVision receivers you connect
to the multiswitch need to be configured for an
unstacked signal
(follow all of the steps in
“Receiver Set to ‘Unstacked’ LNB’” on page 9.9
,
except select “Unstacked” instead of “Stacked”).

System Wiring Diagrams
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.
