Common Questions
Can the modulator be connected to a remote TV without using an
IR target?
Yes, but you won't have remote control capability. You can add an IR
target at any time to get remote control capability. If you add an IR
target, unplug the modulator unit before attaching it.
Can an amplifier be used on the output of the modulator to drive a
signal over longer cable paths?
No. The IR remote control feature will be defeated if an external
amplifier is used.
Can I use any remote control with the IR target?
The remote control you use with the IR target must be capable of
operating the component you want to control. The Sony RM-Y130
remote commander can control a DSS receiver, TV, VCR, cable box, and
laserdisc player, and has a learning feature for non-preprogrammed
components.
Can a splitter be used on one or more of the remote video outputs
to operate multiple TV's on that line?
No. The MRD-Dl Multi-room Distribution System is a pre-engineered
system providing optimum signal levels to each TV for clear, crisp
picture quality. Each time a splitter is added there is lowering of signal
level called insertion loss. Insertion losses upset system performance.
Additionally, not all splitters pass DC voltage. Inability to pass DC
voltage will cause the IR feature to be defeated.
Can I change from the off-air antenna to cable without problems?
Yes. Even though cable channels are set at different frequencies than
off-air channels, MRD-Dl will accommodate and work with either. If
you change from one signal source to the other, you will have to retime
your system following the procedures of this manual.
