1.1.3 The MPl TV Modulator/Power supply
The MPl is an additional item that you may wish to purchase if you are currently using your
CPC464 computer with the GT64 green tube monitor. The MPl enables you to use the computer with
your domestic colour TV and thereby enjoy the full colour facilities of your CPC464 computer.
Figure 2: Connections for the MP1 , computer and the aerial input of your TV
The modulator/power supply (MP1) should be positioned to the right of the computer on a suitable
table close to the TV set and the Mains Supply socket. As shown in figure 2, above.
Now reduce the volume control on your TV set to a minimum - the CPC464 has its own internal
loudspeaker, so the hiss from the TV with the volume turned up and the computer switched on is
quite normal, Switch on your TV, and then switch on the computer using the slide switch marked
POWER on the right hand end.
The red ON lamp at the top centre of the computer keyboard unit should be illuminated, and you
must now tune in your TV set to receive the signal from the computer.
If you have a TV with push-button channel selection, press a channel button to select a spare or
unused channel. Adjust the corresponding tuning control in accordance with the TV set
manufacturer’s instructions (the signal will be approximately at channel 36 if your TV has a marked
tuning scale), until you receive a picture similiar to that shown on the next page:
