1. Connect the antenna cable (A) to the “To KVH
Antenna” jack. Do not kink/stress the cable.
2. Connect the RF converter cable (B) to the “RF
Remote Input” jack.
3. Connect the receiver to the vessel’s entertainment
system (TV). Choose one of the following options:
Option 1 - RCA-type A/V jacks (use bottom row)
Option 2 - S-Video jack (provides best picture quality)
Option 3 - RF coaxial connector
Cables for option 1 are included in the kit.
4. (Optional) If you have a VHF TV antenna onboard,
you can connect it to the “VHF Antenna In” jack on
the receiver. If you connect a VHF antenna to the
receiver, you need to use the receiver’s RF coaxial
connector (option 3) to supply VHF video to the TV.
5. Be sure to tighten all connections. Also be sure to
leave enough slack in the cables (service loop) for
easy serviceability, allowing you to access the
receiver’s rear panel with the cables connected.
For details on connecting an additional receiver,
please see Appendix A in the Receiver User’s Guide.

the integrity of this cable

important.
