RF MODULATOR WITH S-VIDEO INPUT MODEL : CRF910

NOTE TO CATV SYSTEM INSTALLER:

INTRODUCTION

Your Video RF Modulator is designed to convert the separate audio and video signals (from a video camera, computer, portable VCR, or satellite receiver, for example) into VHF TV signals that you can view on a TV set.

The FCC Wants You to Know

This device complies with Part 15 of FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Your modulator might cause TV or radio interference even when is operating properly. To determine whether your modulator is causing the interference, turn it off. If the interference goes away, your modulator is causing it.

Try to eliminate the interference by:

• moving your RF Modulator away from the receiver

• connecting your RF Modulator to an outlet that is on a different electrical circuit from the receiver

• contacting your local store for help

If you cannot eliminate the interference, the FCC requires that you stop using your RF Modulator.

Changes or modications not expressly approved by the party

responsible for compliance could void the user’s FCC authorization to operate this equipment.

REQUIRED PARTS

The following items (not supplied) are required to connect your RF Modulator to a video input source and your TV.

• one audio/video shielded cable with three phono connectors at each end, if the video source’s audio output is stereo; or one audio/video shielded cable with two phono connectors at each end if the video source’s audio output is monaural

• two 75-ohm coaxial cables with F-type connectors

• a 75-ohm-to-300-ohm matching transformer, if your TV does not have a VHF 75-ohm F-connector

Note: The audio signal will be modulated to mono, whether the video source is stereo or monaural.

Note to the CATV System Installer: This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s attention to article 820-22 of the NEC that

provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, species

that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.

INSTALLATION

1. Seat the RF Modulator vertically :

Plug in the seat plate (included) on

the bottom of the RF Modulator until The locking tab of the seat plate clicks in to secure the plate to the RF Modulator.

2. Seat the RF Modulator horizontally :

2.1 While pulling up the locking tab, remove the seat plate by pushing out the seat plate.

2.2 Attach the four self-adhesive rubber pads (included) to the side face of the RF Modulator.

2.3 Lay down the RF Modulator on the side with the rubber pads.

CONNECTIONS

Follow these steps to connect your RF Modulator.

1. If your video source is stereo, plug the connectors on one end of a stereo A/V cable into the video and audio input jacks on the RF Modulator. Plug the connectors on the cable’s other end into to video and audio output jacks on the video source, using the color coding on the connectors as a guide.

If your video source is monaural, plug the connectors on one end of an A/V cable into the video and audio input jacks on the RF Modulator (using either the AUDIO R or L jack). Plug the cable’s other ends into the video and audio jacks on the video source. Connect the 75-ohm coaxial cables to the RF Modulator following these guidelines:

• If your video source is equipment

with VHS VIDEO (S-video) output, you can use a S-video cable to connect the S-video output of video source to the S-video input of this RF modulator.

CHANNEL 3/4

• If your TV is already connected to another VHF input source

(such as cable, an antenna, or a VCR, for example), disconnect the VHF input source’s 75-ohm cable from the TV’s 75-ohm VHF/UHF terminal, and reconnect it to the RF Modulator’s ANT IN terminal. Then connect a 75-ohm coaxial cable between the TO TV terminal on the RF Modulator and the 75-ohm VHF/UHF terminal on your TV.

• If your TV is not already connected to another VHF source, connect a 75-ohm coaxial cable between to the TO TV terminal on the RF modulator and the 75-ohm

VHF/UHF terminal on your TV.

Note: If your TV has only 300ohm VHF screw terminals, use a 75-ohm-to-300-ohm matching transformer to complete the connection.

2. Plug the RF Modulator’s power cord into a standard AC outlet. Note: This power unit is intended to be correctly

oriented in a vertical or oor

mount position.

OPERATION

1. Turn on the TV and set it to either Channel 3 or 4. whichever is not used for regular broadcasts in your area.

2. Set the RF Modulator’s CHANNEL 3/4 switch to the same channel

you set the TV (3 or 4).

CARE

To enjoy your RF Modulator for a long time:

• Keep the modulator dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.

• Use and store the modulator only in normal temperature environments.

• Handle the modulator gently and carefully. Don’t drop it.

• Keep the modulator away from dust and dirt.

• Wipe the modulator with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new.

Modifying or tampering with the modulator’s internal components can cause a malfunction and invalidate its warranty and void your FCC authorization to operate it. If your modulator is not

performing as it should, take it to your local store for assistance.
