When connecting to the H OME D ISTRIBUTION coaxial jack, you must meet the FCC requirements in
the Appendix. To meet these requirements, your receiver includes a software-based attenuator:
• If connecting to your in-home cabling system to distribute the signal to a TV(s) in other rooms,
in most cases you will not have to enable the attenuator on the H
OME D ISTRIBUTION output jack
for typical in-home cabling systems.
• If connecting directly to a nearby TV tuner input jack, you must enable the attenuator between
the receiver’s H
OME D ISTRIBUTION jack and the TV tuner.

channels must fall in one of the two ranges below. For example, if you find that cable channels 75,
76, and 77 do not pick up any broadcasts, pick these channels since they fall into the range below
for cable channels. Make sure these three channels on other remote TV(s) also do not pick up
broadcasts.

mode for this installation. See your TV user’s guide for instructions on how to set your TV to air or
cable channel modes.

and if necessary how to switch your TV between over-the-air (OTA)
and cable channels. During this procedure, it will be necessary to
change the channels on your TV(s) to tune to these channels to see
the video from the receiver. See your TV user’s guide for instructions.
