Setting The Channel - Marmitek MEGAVIDEO55 Mode D'emploi

You are using F plugs
Connect the aerial cable coming from you aerial source to the input marked 'RF ANT IN'.Then
connect the aerial cable leading to the rest of your aerial network to the output marked RF
ANT OUT'.
You are using IEC plugs
Adaptors are supplied in case you are using IEC plugs. Then follow the same procedure as
described above.
Your connecting cables have not yet been fitted with plugs
In this case ensure that the plugs are correctly fitted to the coax cable. Use high frequency
screened plugs to avoid external radiation and interference. Only use broadband amplifiers
and splitters with a range from 5 - 1000 MHz.
NOTE: If you want to use the infrared return channel for your remote control (see chapter 6)
then the aerial wall outlets, amplifiers and splitters that are included IN the cabling between
your bedroom and living room should be "return channel" compatible (5 – 30 MHz).

5. SETTING THE CHANNEL

The audio/video signal that has been added (e.g. from a DVD player) is converted into a normal TV
channel.
Using the MegaVideo55 you can, in principle, choose any free channel. It is important to select a
free channel that is not already being used for an existing TV channel. The channels that are free
depend on the incoming aerial signal. For details consult the channel table supplied by your cable
company or, if you have your own aerial, the channel summary in your TV magazine.
1. Connect one of the two power adapters to the modulator and plug it into the mains.
2. Check your channel table and find two free channels that are adjacent. Now select the higher of
these two channels. Example: if channels 37 and 38 are free then select channel 38. If three
adjacent channels are free select the middle channel.
3. Set your selected channel using the dip switches on the front of the modulator.
The white dip switches can be set in two positions: ON (= 1, switch up) and OFF (= 0, switch
down). The combination of switches determines the channel setting. It is easier to do this using a
small screwdriver or a ballpoint pen.
You can find the correct dip switch positions for the channel you have selected in the table at the
end of this manual. For instance, channel 38 would be 01100100. The 2nd, 3rd and 6th dip
switches are ON (up) and the remaining dip switches are OFF (down).
