Cable TV Amplifier  (150-1960A)     Installation       Faxback Doc. # 7148

CONNECTING THE AMPLIFIER

To connect the amplifier, you need three 75-ohm coaxial cables rated for
cable TV use.  If your TV only has 300-ohm antenna terminals, you also
need a 75/300 ohm adapter (such as Radio Shack Cat. No. 15-1140).

Amplifying Scrambled (Raw) Signals

You can connect your cable service to the amplifier before you connect it
to the cable box.  This connection lets you send the scrambled ("raw")
cable signal to two video receivers.  However, if you only use one cable
box as a video receiver, only the TV connected to the cable box receives
the unscrambled channels.

1.  Connect a 75-ohm coaxial cable between the cable's outlet and the
    amplifier's INPUT terminal.

2.  Connect another 75-ohm coaxial cable between one of the amplifier's
    OUTPUT terminals and your TV, VCR, or cable box input terminal.

3.  If desired, connect another 75-ohm coaxial cable between the
    amplifier's other OUTPUT terminal and a second TV, VCR, or cable box
    input terminal.

Amplifying Unscrambled Signals

You can connect your cable service to the amplifier after you connect it
to the cable box.  This connection lets you send the unscrambled cable
signal to two video receivers.  However, because you must use the cable
box to change channels, you cannot set two TVs to two different channels.

1.  Connect a 75-ohm coaxial cable between your cable box output terminal
    and the amplifier's INPUT terminal.

2.  Connect another 75-ohm coaxial cable between one of the amplifier's
    OUTPUT terminals and a TV or VCR input terminal.

3.  Connect another 75-ohm coaxial cable between the amplifiers other
    OUTPUT terminal and a second TV or VCR input terminal.

NOTE:  If you are using a combination of TVs and/or VCRs, set them to the 
       same output channel (Channel 3 or 4)  as your cable box.

MOUNTING THE AMPLIFIER

Using mounting screws (not supplied), mount the amplifier on the wall near
your TV, VCR, or cable box, near the antenna wire or cable outlet, and
near an AC outlet.

SUPPLYING POWER

To power the amplifier, plug the amplifier's AC cord into a standard AC
outlet.
