Satellite TV Overview
If installed, the satellite television option features view-
ing hundreds of television channels using the salon TV.
Basically, the signal is transmitted through an antenna
system installed on the hardtop which features a satellite
tracking system that automatically fi nds the satellite for
crystal-clear television reception. Refer to the satellite TV
user's guide in the owner's information packet for addi-
tional in-depth information or go to the KVH Industries,
Inc. web-site.
System Components-Antenna
The antenna is small yet powerful. The antenna uses
modern technology to quickly acquire and track the cor-
rect satellite, switch between satellites, and send signals
to the interface box. Internal gyros allow the antenna to
track the satellite at all times, even with the vessel on the
move! See the photo for antenna location.
MCP (Multi-stat control panel)
The MCP is the system's user interface box, providing
system access to functions through an LED with 3 but-
tons. The MCP serves as the system's junction box, per-
mitting confi guration and operation of the antenna. The
interface box is located in the salon entertainment cabi-
net.
Television Receiver
The Dish network receiver has been chosen because of
its compatibility with the KVH components. This unit
receives HD (high defi nition) signals from 3 DISH net-
work satellites. The antenna then switches between these
3 satellites as needed as you change channels using the
Bose master remote control. See the photo for location.
Television
The salon television delivers true high defi nition recep-
tion and is multi-functional with other entertainment
components.
