ENTERTAINMENT
TV SIGNAL AMPLIFIER
The TV signal amplifier is built into the
antenna and can be turned on or off with a power
switch located on a switchplate below or inside
the front overhead entertainment center cabinet.
An indicator light will glow when the switch
is on and the signal amplifier is active.
Checking Amplifier Performance
The TV signals available to an RV are entirely
dependent on its location in relation to the
transmitter. Signals may vary from strong to no
usable signal at all. We recommend that the TV
system be checked out in an area known to have
good TV reception.
To check the antenna amplifier, raise the
antenna, select a TV channel and rotate the
antenna for best picture. Then turn off the
amplifier power switch. If the antenna amplifier
is working properly, the TV picture will now be
degraded (snowy). When you turn the switch
back on, the picture should again be sharp.
TV DIGITAL SATELLITE
SYSTEM – AUTOMATIC
–If Equipped
The Automatic Digital Satellite Television
System allows you to receive TV programs
directly from satellite to your coach. The
programs are transmitted in digital format so the
quality is equal to laser disc or CD.
We recommend that you read the satellite dish
manual thoroughly to understand the system
completely before attempting any setups or
adjustments.
•
The coach must be parked and level before
attempting to operate the automatic antenna
dish.
•
There must be a clear “line of sight” to the
satellite. Mountains, buildings, trees,
telephone poles and other obstructions can all
block the satellite signal from reaching the
dish.
•
When activated while parked, the dish
antenna will seek the selected satellite
automatically.
•
Press the SAT switch on the HD Video
Selection System to view the satellite signal.
See HD Video Selection System for additional
information.
CAUTION
To avoid equipment damage, always
align directional handle to DOWN position
before lowering. Never partially raise or
lower antenna. Antenna must be raised
fully up into operating position or lowered
fully down into travel position.
