Common Questions
Can the modulator
be connected
to a remote
TV without
using an
IR target?
Yes, but you won't
have remote
control
capability.
You can add an IR
target
at any time to get remote
control
capability.
If you add an IR
target, unplug
the modulator
unit before attaching
it.
..........
Can an amplifier
be used on the output
of the modulator
to drive
a
signal over
longer
cable paths?
No. The IR remote
control
feature
will be defeated
if an external
amplifier
is used.
Can I use any remote control with the IR target?
The remote
control
you use with the IR target must be capable
of
operating
the component
you want to control.
The Sony RM-Y130
remote
commander
can control
a DSS receiver,
TV, VCR, cable box, and
laserdisc
player,
and has a learning
feature
for non-preprogrammed
components.
Can a splitter
be used on one or more of the remote
video
outputs
to operate
multiple
TV's on that
line?
Ne6. The MRD-D1
Multi-room
Distribution
System
is a pre-engineered
system
providing
optimum
signal
levels to each TV for clear, crisp
picture
quality.
Each time a splitter
is added
there is lowering
of signal
level called insertion
loss. Insertion
losses upset
system
performance.
Additionally,
not all splitters
pass DC voltage.
Inability
to pass DC
voltage
will cause the IR feature
to be defeated.
Can I change
from
the off-air
antenna
to cable without
problems?.
Yes. Even though
cable channels
are set at different
frequencies
than
off-air channels,
MRD-D1 will accommodate
and work wit_ either.
If
you change
from one signal source to the other, you will have to retune
your system
following
the procedures
of this manual.
