Important Pre-Installation Notes The notes in this section are important and vital to the successful installation of the SIRIUS/DBS Signal Combiner/Splitter. Read this entire section carefully before proceeding with the installation of the SIRIUS/DBS Signal Combiner/ Splitter. Compatibility While the SIRIUS/DBS Signal Combiner/Splitter is compatible with most DISH Network and DIRECTV systems, there are several instances in which a particular configuration may not be compatible with the SIRIUS/DBS Signal Combiner/ Splitter.

DIRECTV Systems ORBITAL ORBITAL LOCATION LOCATIONS RECVR/TUNER The incompatibilities for DIRECTV systems are limited to two categories, namely, configurations using three LNBFs with a multiswitch which is not powered externally, and configurations using three LNBFs with a multiswitch co-located with the LNBFs at the satellite dish. The following compatibility chart shows compatible configurations, and the sections following discuss in detail certain incompatibilities.

DIRECTV with Three LNBFs with External Multiswitch If your configuration uses three LNBFs, and has a multiswitch, the multiswitch must be externally powered to be compatible with the SIRIUS/DBS Signal Combiner/Splitter. Externally powered means that the multiswitch is connected to an AC outlet. Examine your multiswitch to determine if it is connected to an AC outlet.
Configuration Considerations There are differing configurations which may be found in satellite TV systems. You should determine your overall configuration, and where you will be installing the SIRIUS/DBS Signal Combiner/Splitter in your configuration before proceeding with the installation. Generally, you’ll want to install it nearest to the receiver/tuner where you will be using your SIRIUS receiver.
COMBINER SPLITTER RECVR/TUNER SIRIUS RECEIVER Installation Procedure Once you have determined where in your system you will be mounting the SIRIUS/DBS Signal Combiner/Splitter, you can proceed with the installation. If you have not yet mounted your SIRIUS outdoor antenna, do that first, carefully following the installation instructions included with the outdoor antenna.

7. Connect the Power Supply (shown as C on page 3) to the Signal Splitter, and plug the Power Supply in a working AC outlet. This completes the installation of the SIRIUS/DBS Signal Combiner/Splitter. Power on your SIRIUS receiver and satellite TV system to verify that they are working correctly and that the installation was successful.
