The Agile Modulator
You may have noticed that your DSS
®
receiver doesn’t have a
CH3/CH4 switch on the back (like your VCR or Laserdisc player has).
If you noticed this, then you might be wondering how you are
going to select an output channel if you run the DSS
®
signal from
the OUT TO TV jack to a television. You use the
Agile Modulator
.
The default for the agile modulator is UHF channel 14, or cable
channel 65.
What Does the Agile Modulator Do?
The agile modulator gives you more channels from which to
choose an output channel. This should allow you to choose a
channel not already being used by an off-air (antenna) broadcast
station, or your local cable service.
This is most important when you are using your DSS
®
receiver in
conjunction with a Whole-House Distribution System (WHDS).
The DSS
®
signal is sent from one receiver to several TVs by using
a whole-house distribution system.
What’s a Whole-House
Distribution System?
According to Keith, our design
engineer, a whole-house distribution
system has a couple of “goes-in-tos”
and a bunch of “goes-out-tos” and
amplifies the signals that go into it
before sending those signals out.
(Note that the glossary at the end of
this manual has an alternative
definition—I’m not saying it’s better,
just different.)
