How Does The Agile Modulator Work - RCA DCD302RA Owner's Manual

Sending the DSS
to Multiple TVs
As you see in the preceding diagram, both your cable or off-air
signal and the DSS ®
signal are routed through a whole-house
distribution system. Sending the signals through the WHDS lets
you watch DSS ® programs on one television, and a cable or off-
air program on another. The agile modulator lets you avoid a
channel conflict by allowing you to select an output channel not
already being used by your cable service or off-air broadcasts.

How Does the Agile Modulator Work?

There is a band of channels that are available to your television.
In general, the lower numbered channels are used by your local
off-air broadcaster or cable system. The agile modulator lets you
choose a channel at the upper end of the band so that you can
avoid a conflict and not interfere with a channel already being
used.
You can select an off-air channel between UHF channels 14-69;
or a cable channel from 65-94 or 100-125 (they use the same
channel band). Go through your channels and find one within
this range which currently does not have programming.
• If you can find three channels in a row that aren't being
used, choose the middle channel.
