User questions & answers

Question:	May I use this product to split an fm signal from an antennae and send it to my recveivers and equipment which uses a coaxial cable
Answer:	I don't see why not, the fm frequencies use the same antenna as vhf and as long as you have an antenna with that capability I believe so. The splitter/booster just distributes the signal equally between each connection so there is no signal loss from too many splits. Yes,it can be used for this purpose
Question:	If this amp is not compatible with a tv broadcast rf/rx antenna, could you recommend a good one
Answer:	this device is compatible with pretty much all service providers of COAX tv service like comcast, spectrum and verizon
Question:	Can this be mounted outdoors
Answer:	If mounted outdoors it should be in a sheltered, dry location - preferably in a telecom enclosure. The power supply is rated for INDOOR USE ONLY.
Question:	Can two be daisy-chained successfully? I have one already but need more than 8 outlets in my home
Answer:	No. Daisy chaining has a high probability of failure, and is strongly discouraged. If you need more that 8 ports it is better to use a 2-way splitter to feed 2 separate amplifiers.

User questions & answers

Question:	I have an amplified antenna will this further amplify the signal? I'm 80 miles from the source
Answer:	Yes, it has an American power supply cord.
Question:	I would like to mount this in the wall with panel over it. Any ideas on how to do this and be in code
Answer:	Hook up your TV to your karaoke using the RCA cable. This is color-coded so you just have to plug the yellow cord to the yellow port, red cord to the red port, and the white to its designated port as well. Just remember that you should be connecting it to the port with an “Out” label on your karaoke machine, and “In” label on your TV. Power on both units. From your TV, be sure to change the video source to AV1 or AV. Load up your karaoke CD. You should be able to see the lyrics playing on your TV screen. If nothing comes up on the screen, be sure to check the colors are plugged correctly and that it’s connected to “In” on the TV. Even if it’s already quite obvious, this is still a very common mistake that should not be overlooked. Method 2 This method is for those karaoke machines without an AV output. Like we have mentioned earlier, you will not be directly hooking up your karaoke system to your TV. Even if I have a karaoke machine which can connect to TV, I still end up using this method from time to time because it allows me to play almost any song on YouTube. Connect your device to your TV using screen mirroring, or chrome cast directly from the YouTube app to your smart TV. Be sure that your TV and your device are connected to the same wifi network. Play a sample song or video from YouTube on your device and verify that it’s showing up on your TV screen. Verify that the sound is going out on your TV as well. If you have it connected to your home theater, it should output the sound from there. Turn on your karaoke machine and test the mic. Adjust the volume, echo, etc. so that volume of your voice coming out from the built-in speaker is on the same level as that from your TV (or external speaker). Your karaoke machine acts as a PA speaker for your voice, with your song and lyrics playing on your TV. Wrapping It Up
Question:	What is the "power in/rf out" output used for? It indicates it has 15vdc on it, so I'm wondering if that is harmful to a tv

Answer:	Not sure you’ll have to try beginning and end to see which works better. I have mine at beginning of long run. But I’m not a cable expert.
Question:	Does it act like a splitter
Answer:	Yes, or you could simply purchase the 4-port model, which is a bit cleaner.
Question:	Will this help improve my signal on a channel master cm-2016 high vhf,uhf & hdtv outdoor hd antenna to boost my signal and run 3 tvs
Answer:	Yes, since it is consuming power it will generate some heat and become warm to the touch. It can be used in hot environments up to + 60 degrees C.

Product description

This TV signal booster can be used for full range of TV bands for both UHF/VHF and CATV systems when you have long cable TV runs and multiple splitters used in the setup.

This commercial-grade RF CATV distribution amplifier helps boost the RF TV signal for analog/digital cable TV, CCTV, SMATV, antenna or all other RF modulated TV system with amplification up to 40 dB gain.

It provides clean, crisp video for large homes or office buildings with long cable runs and many TV outlets where amplifier cascading is required.

Featured with adjustable attenuation to reduce over-driving and adjustable tilt compensation to allow large systems to be properly balanced.

High Gain 40dB Boost

This unit is featured with high 40 dB gain for RF input signals to compensate the RF TV signal loss and attenuation after long cable transmission.

Users can easily extend the cable TV signal for another 1700FT or 500m if RF TV source signals have fair 70 to 75dB strength to start with.

Also a great solution for fixing the problems of noise, snowy picture, interference and weakness after distribution for CATV, Digital TV and CCTV systems.

Easy Gain Control From 0~20dB

The variable gain dial on this amplifier provides an adjustable attenuation control for reducing the possibility of over driving and get best performance.

This gain control is very handy for installer to obtain the optimum signal level balancing in installation. Proper gain level can greatly enhance the picture quality with minimum noise.

Easy Tilt Control From 0~20dB

When installer has a large RF TV system to run or multi-transmission by one coaxial cable, this Slope Control function helps installers balance all cable TV signals to be transmitted at same output amplitude for optimal installation.

-20dB Input/Output Testing Port

A testing port with -20dB input/output is provided for easy trouble shooting.
