SATELLITE TV COMPONENTS
Satellite television is a 53 SC option. The satellite televi-
sion operation is user friendly. Refer to the quick refer-
ence cards to activate the satellite functions. Use the Bose®
master remote control to change channels when in the satellite mode.
Note: If the optional 2nd satellite television system is installed the
master stateroom will have separate satellite television capability us-
ing the 2nd Bose system master remote control.
This will enable both the salon and master stateroom the
ability to receive and view television channels indepen-
dently from each other.
Receiving Satellite TV Signals
Television satellites are located in fi xed positions above
the Earth's equator and beam TV signals down to certain
regions of the planet. To receive signals from a satellite,
you must be located within that satellite's unique cover-
age area.
Furthermore, since TV satellites are located above the
equator, the TracVision antenna must have a clear view
of the sky to receive satellite signals. Anything that stands
between the antenna and the satellite can block the signal
resulting in lost TV reception. Common blockage causes
are boat masts, buildings, trees, and bridges. Heavy rain,
ice, or snow might also temporarily interrupt satellite re-
ception.
Turning System On/Off
Avoid turning the vessel or changing channels for one
minute after turning on the system.
1. Make sure the antenna has a clear view of the sky.
2. Flip on the appropriate breakers. At the ship's main
AC panel activate the entertainment breaker. With newer
vessels the entertainment breaker is on the invertor panel
verses the main AC panel. On the DC side activate the
SAT TV system breaker.
3. Turn on the switch plate power switch to start the sat-
ellite tracking process. Wait 1 minute for system start-up.
Turning System Off
1. Set the switch plate power switch to the Off position.
2. Turn off the satellite TV receiver to the Off position.
3. Turn the Sat TV breaker Off.
4. Turn the TV Off.
5. Flip the entertainment breaker Off. This completes the
Off process for the standard 1 receiver in the salon.
