STEP 9.
Connect the Audio/Video cables with RCA jacks from the output of the DVD player to the input
connection on back of the video distribution switch marked “From DVD”. Be sure the three color coded
jacks are attached to correct inputs and outputs (Audio Right = Red, Audio Left = White, Video = Yellow).
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 Output” 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 VS53DVD/VS5312D 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 TV 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.
Figure A

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 TV Ant”. Use
Winegard’s FS-8100 in-line cable splice to attach an additional piece of coax cable from the coax cable output
from the TV antenna to the coax cable input on the back of the video distribution switch marked “From TV
Ant”. Or you may disconnect the entire wall-mounted power supply and replace it with Winegard’s OT-8700
wall plate, attaching the coax cable output from the TV antenna to the back of the OT-8700 wall plate. An
additional piece of coax cable can then be run from the front of the OT-8700 wall plate to the input on the
back of the video distribution switch marked “From TV Ant”. Hook up the +12 VDC power to the back of the
OT-8700 wall plate using the 5 foot 12 volt cable with locking connector supplied with the video distribution
switch. If the cable has not been provided, order Winegard’s PT-0050 5 foot 12 volt cable with locking
connector. Be sure the RED wire is hooked to POSITIVE and the BLACK wire to NEGATIVE. The red Power
Indicator LED on the front of the video distribution switch will only light when the power button is on.
Note:
The TV antenna Power button must be pressed to the ON position to provide 12 volt power to the
TV
antenna amplifier.

When using Winegard or other brand of VHF/UHF “Non-Amplified Antenna” the coax cable from the

marked “From TV Ant”. You must also hook up the +12 VDC power to the back of the video distribution
