Four or More Receivers
– M3 Marine Use Only
•
If you wish to connect three or more additional
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 A5/M3 12V
receivers and/or generic (non-A5/M3) receivers
to the multiswitch.
•
Any TracVision A5/M3 12V receivers that 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.
