PRE-WIRE WITH INDUSTRY STANDARD CABLING The demand for multi-room video entertainment and telecommunications (telephone, fax, computer, and data networking) is easily satisfied with the installation of RG-6 coax and CAT-5 UTP wire. The key is to pre-wire. When you put the right cables in the walls, the rest is easy. An important feature of the ChannelPlus integrated home network is that it utilizes industry-recognized cabling.
PRE-WIRE AUDIO/VIDEO AND TELEVISION WITH RG-6 COAX PRE-WIRE GUIDE Using RG-6 white and black coaxial cable, install the following cable runs from the network enclosure: • One black coax from each TV or computer location. • One white coax from everywhere one or more video sources might be located.

REFERENCE 800.999.5225 • www.channelplus.com RF TROUBLESHOOTING WITH CHANNELPLUS Problem: NO PICTURE Verify that the video source is on and is producing a video signal. Check that the TV and the modulator are tuned to the same channel. For example, if the modulator is broadcasting on UHF channel 16, make sure the TV is on UHF 16 rather than CATV 16.
1. Layout system noting lengths of runs, locations of splitters, taps, combiners, and TV sets. Where cable runs exceed 200’ (60 m), add a tilt compensator whenever an amplifier stage follows. 2. Determine cable type to be used and enter all system losses using the chart below.
