DIRECTV HDTV Installation

A
These supplemental instructions explain how to
configure the system for DIRECTV HDTV using
KVH's optional HDTV converter. To complete a
basic, single-receiver configuration, you will
need the following components:
• HDTV converter (KVH part #02-1431)
• Splitter (KVH part #19-0366)
• DIRECTV HD receiver
• HDTV television
The HDTV converter adjusts the signal frequency
of DIRECTV's 110 satellite, allowing the system
to receive its high-definition channels. This
configuration also allows the system to receive
signals from DIRECTV's 101 and 119 satellites for
a three-satellite (Trisat) setup.
Wiring a Single DIRECTV HD Receiver
Follow these steps to connect the HD receiver.
IMPORTANT!
If you wish to connect two or more HD
receivers to the antenna, you will need to
install an active multiswitch. See the next
section for special wiring instructions.
1. Connect an RF coax cable from the "HDTV
Control" jack on the MCP to the "Control
Input" jack on the HDTV converter (see
Figure 41).
2. Connect the RF1 cable from the antenna to
the "RF Input" jack on the HDTV converter.
3. Connect an RF coax cable from the "RF Out"
jack on the HDTV converter to either of the
"Out" jacks on the splitter.
4. Connect an RF coax cable from the "Tone
Detect" jack on the MCP to the other "Out"
jack on the splitter.
5. Connect an RF coax cable from the "Input"
jack on the splitter to the "Satellite In" jack on
the DIRECTV HD receiver.
