INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of the Marmitek MegaView20. The MegaView20 is a programmable modulator which converts audio- and video signals of for instance your DVD-player, satellite receiver, VCR, surveillance camera, decoder, set top box or PC and adds them as an extra

TV channel on your antenna cable. Then you can watch this signal as a kind of internal TV-channel everywhere in your home assumed there is an antenna connection.

The Marmitek products are manufactured with the utmost precision and are of high quality. Please read this manual first and follow the instructions so you can enjoy the possibilities of this product optimally.

The antenna cable is, as you could say, looped into the modulator. The incoming antenna signal is connected to the antenna connection, besides that you can connect an A/V device of your choice to the input on the MegaView20. The outgoing antenna signal then carries both the standard antenna signal and the added Audio/Video-signal (of for instance a DVD-player or AV-camera). On every TV connected to this antenna system after the modulator ('To TV / RF OUT' of your MegaView20) the added Audio/Video-signal can be watched on the selected channel. You do not need to make any changes to the rest of your antenna network.

The modulator itself has no influence on the strength of the signal. The maximum length of the cables to be used is determined by the present cable network in your home. If you want to connect multiple TV sets or want to use a longer cable, we advice you to use an amplifier/splitter. Your antenna material supplier can advice you in this.

2. CONTENTS OF THE PACKING

Check after unpacking if the following parts and accessories are present:

1x MegaView20 modulator
1x Power adapter
1x IEC Antenna cable (1 metre)
1x Manual

3. CONNECTING THE DEVICE TO THE MEGAVIEW20 MODULATOR

Switch off all devices before you start connecting. Then connect the device you want to connect (for instance the DVD-player or AV-camera) to the MegaView20. You can connect the device with a SCART cable or a cinch cable. Use one of the two possibilities mentioned below.

Connecting an A/V appliance via SCART (1)

You can use the 'SCART connection' on the modulator to add the video-and audio signal desired to the antenna signal. You can use a SCART cable (not included) and you connect this to the 'SCART IN' of the MegaView20.

Tip: See chapter 6 Extra options for the possibility to connect multiple devices

Connecting an A/V appliance via cinch cable (2)

Any so called composite audio- and video signal can be connected to the modulator. For this you can use a cinch cable (not included). Make sure the colours of the plugs and the sockets are corresponding. That means red to red, white to white and yellow to yellow.

A/V appliance via SCART to TV (3)

The 'SCART OUT' connection on your MegaView20 offers you the possibility to connect not only the signal of your A/V devices to the antenna signal, but to also loop it to a TV set via SCART (for instance for TV sets that are not connected to your antenna network).

Attention: This connection only transfers the A/V signal of the connected device back to the TV set and not the other TV channels.

4. CONNECTING THE ANTENNA SIGNAL TO THE MEGAVIEW20 MODULATOR

Follow the description below to connect the antenna cable.

Connecting an antenna cable (4)

Connect the existing antenna cable to the 'ANT/RF IN' connector of the MegaView20. Depending on the current situation you may need to disconnect some of the cables before you can connect the antenna.

Connecting an antenna cable to TV (5)

Connect the 'To TV/ RF OUT' of the MegaView20 to the antenna port of the television set (if necessary with the use of included antenna cable).

If you want to watch this signal at multiple places, you connect a splitter between the MegaView20 and the TV (your supplier of antenna materials can advice you in this). On every television connected to the antenna

system after the modulator the added audio/video signal can be watched on the selected channel (see display).

Tips:

• Make sure the connectors are fitted properly to the coax cable.
• Use high frequency shielded connectors to prevent radiation and interference.
• Use only broadband amplifiers and splitters with a range of 5-1000 MHz.

5. SELECTING THE CHANNEL

The added Audio/Video-signal (of for instance a DVD-player or AV-camera) is converted into a normal TV-channel.

With the MegaView20 you can actually choose every free channel. It is important to choose a free channel, which is not yet in use by an existing TV-channel. Which channels are free depends on the incoming antenna signal. For this, consult the channel chart provided by your cable company, or if you have your own antenna, the channel overview in your TV-guide.

1. Connect the power adapter to the modulator and plug this in the socket. Turn on the modulator by switching the ON/OFF switch to ON.
2. Take your channel chart and look for two free adjacent channels. Then you choose the higher of these two channels. Example: when channel 37 and 38 are free, you should choose channel 38. With three free adjacent channels, you should choose the middle one.
3. Use the CH▼ and the CH▲ keys on top of the modulator to select the chosen channel. The illuminated digital display on top of the panel shows this channel.
4. Now switch on the desired A/V device (DVD, VCR, satellite receiver, PC, camera, etc.).
5. Turn on the TV, and find the selected channel. How to do this can be read in the manual of your TV. If you cannot select channels on your TV set,

but only frequencies, you can look this up in the enclosed table in the back of this manual. This set channel now shows the connected A/V device and from now on you can watch this on the channel you selected.

1. Now check if there is no interference on the TV-channels close by. If there is, you need to find two (or if possible three) other free channels and set the modulator to that one.

If you have multiple TV sets in your home (connected to the same antenna network), then you can watch this signal on the other TV sets as well. However first you need to set the right channel on every TV.

6. EXTRA OPTIONS Infrared extension

Do you want to operate your DVD-player or satellite tuner in the living room from your bedroom? Or operate devices in a closed cabinet? Marmitek infrared extenders make sure that the signal of your remote control goes right through cabinet doors, walls and floors.

• The VideoControl3 sends the signal of your remote control back to another room via the existing antenna cable.
• Right through walls and ceilings with your existing remote control? This is possible with the PowermidXS. The wireless solution for extending the signal of your remote control!

Connecting multiple devices

• Do you want to connect multiple A/V devices? With the Connect 236 you can connect all of your devices to your MegaView20 with just one cable, preserving the quality.
• You can also connect a second A/V device using a second MegaView20. By selecting another TV channel on it you can watch both devices at different places.

A/V Camera

Do you want a more comfortable and safer feeling in and around your house? With the MegaCam1 you can keep an eye on your house, garden, garage and driveway. Connect this to your MegaView20 and you can watch these images on TV in various rooms in your house.

7. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

No image, no sound

• Check if all cables are connected properly.
• Check if the channel is set correctly.

The MegaView20 picture is interfered and all the other channels are o.k.

There might be a TV channel too close to the selected MegaView20 channel. Choose another channel for the MegaView20 (preferably the middle one of three or if possible five free channels).

Interference with the other channels

Choose another channel, preferably the middle of three free channels in the band.

Distorted sound

Turn down the volume of the connected device.
