STEP 10
. If you are hooking up to stereo TV or surround sound system that has RCA input jacks, you can
connect Audio/Video cables from the output on the video distribution switch marked “DVD OUT” to the
Audio/Video input jacks on the stereo TV or surround sound system. Be sure the three color coded jacks
are attached correctly (Audio Right = Red, Audio Left = White, Video = Yellow).
NOTE:
When connecting to a stereo TV or surround sound system using audio/video cables, be sure the
1K/75 ohm slide switch on the back of the video distribution switch is moved to the 1K position. This will
enhance the picture quality when using the DVD player.
Also note the VS5312A includes a built-in channel 3 or 4 modulator. This modulator allows DVD signals
to be distributed to all three TV set locations over standard 75 coaxial cable. When not using audio/video
cables, the 1K/75 ohm slide switch should be moved to the 75 ohm position.
STEP 11.
Connect the coax cable from the TV antenna to the coax connection on the back of the video
distribution switch marked “From Ant.”
POWER CONNECTIONS
NOTE:
When hooking up an amplified TV antenna, it is necessary to
BYPASS
the existing wall-mounted
power supply, see Figure A. When connecting a non-amplified TV antenna, see Figure B. If you are not sure
the TV antenna is amplified or non-amplified, contact the manufacturer or your local dealer.

CONNECTING AN AMPLIFIED TV ANTENNA AND
BYPASSING THE WALL MOUNTED
POWER SUPPLY
)
When using a Winegard or other brand of VHF/UHF “Amplified Antenna” with power supply, you must
bypass the wall-mounted power supply. The coax cable from the output of the TV antenna which is
connected to the input of the power supply must be disconnected from the back of the power supply
(located inside the wall) and connected to the input on the back of the video distribution switch marked
“From Ant”. Be sure the RED wire is hooked to POSITIVE and the BLACK wire to NEGATIVE and then
connect the power cable.
Figure B.
(
CONNECTING A NON-AMPLIFIED TV ANTENNA)
When using Winegard or other brand of VHF/UHF “Non-Amplified Antenna” the coax cable from the
output of the TV Antenna should be connected to the input on the back of the video distribution switch
marked “From Ant”. You must also hook up the +12 VDC power to the back of the video distribution
switch using the 5 foot 12 volt cable with locking connector supplied with the video distribution switch. Be
sure the RED wire is hooked to POSITIVE and the BLACK wire to NEGATIVE and then connect the
power cable.
