---

What is required before warranty repairs are provided?

A purchase receipt, invoice, or other proof of original purchase date is required before warranty repairs are provided.

---

How can mail-in service be obtained during the warranty period?

Mail-in service can be obtained during the warranty period by calling (800) 840-0288 toll free. A Return Authorization number must be obtained in advance and can be marked on the outside of the shipping carton.

---

What should I do if a problem with the product develops during or after the warranty period?

Please contact Channel Vision Technology, your dealer or any factory-authorized service center if a problem with the product develops during or after the warranty period.

---

Are Channel Vision products intended for use in medical, lifesaving, life-sustaining, or critical environment applications?

Channel Vision products are not intended for use in medical, lifesaving, life-sustaining, or critical environment applications.

---

What is the C-0332 system composed of?

The system consists of one CVT-1/2PIA dual output amplifier and two HS-8V 8-way splitters. These components are mounted inside a metal bracket that enables the system to be easily installed in a Channel Vision structured wire enclosure.

---

What are the features of the C-0332?

• Allows 5-42MHz return path for interactive digital cable boxes
• Unity gain output
• DC and IR passing splitters

---

What should I do if I see diagonal lines on modulator channels only?

Try moving the modulator to another channel number. You may need to add a low pass to remove cable company noise.

---

What should I do if I see diagonal lines on many channels that vanish when I remove the CATV feed?

The RF amplifier is being overloaded by over-strong cable signals. Add an attenuator to reduce the signal strength.

---

What should I do if cable channels have interference when the modulator is connected?

Reduce the modulator signal by using an attenuator. Either a fixed or variable attenuator may be used.

---

What are the typical specifications of the C-0332?

• Gain Cable In to Out: Unity 54MHz – 1000MHz
• Reverse Gain Out to Cable In: -14dB 5 – 42MHz
• Isolation Out / Cable In: -80dB 450MHz – 1000MHz
• Flatness: ± 1dB (all outputs terminated)
• Noise Figure: 7dB (maximum)
• IR Passing: All ports
• RFI rejection: -130dB
• Power supply: 12VDC @ 300mA (supplied)

---

What do Channel Vision modulators allow you to do?

Channel Vision modulators allow you to create your own TV channel for video devices so they can be easily distributed through your home.

---

What are some common uses for modulators?

Common uses include CCTV cameras, DVD players, and satellite receivers.

---

What is the IR-4000?

The IR-4000 is the heart of the coax IR repeating system. It allows power to be inserted on the coax and it provides an IR emitter port to output the IR control signals.

---

What is built into the E2200IR, E3200IR, and E4200IR modulators?

An IR engine is built into the E2200IR, E3200IR, and E4200IR modulators.

---

What is the IR-4101?

The IR-4101 is an IR over coax receiver to be connected into the system on each output where IR control is needed.

---

What do IR receivers do?

IR receivers detect the IR signal from your remote control and convert them into pulses that can travel over a wire, in this case coax cable.

---

What are some Channel Vision modulators?

CVT1ub/uhf-II, CVT2ub/uhf-II, CVT3ub/uhf-II, E1200, E2200IR, E3200IR, and E4200IR.

---

What is the IR coax engine?

IR-4000.

---

What is the IR over coax adapter?

IR-4101.

---

Why is a 5-42MHz return path needed?

New digital cable systems require the cable box to have two-way communication with the cable company. The frequency range between 5MHz and 42MHz has been reserved for the return communication signals.

---

What are DC passing splitters?

Some products utilize your existing coax cable to distribute IR control signals throughout your home. This technology requires a Direct Current (DC) voltage to be transmitted over the coax wire. Most Channel Vision Splitters are DC passing and will support this kind of IR repeating technology.

---

What do IR repeating systems allow you to do?

IR repeating systems allow you to use a handheld infra-red remote to control devices that are located in another room of your home.

---

Is it recommended to connect a cable modem directly to the amplified splitter?

Although the 5-42MHz return path provided by the amplifier will allow the modem to communicate with the cable company network, connecting your modem directly to the amplified splitter is not recommended.

---

Why is it not recommended to connect a cable modem directly to the amplified splitter?

Doing so can allow the modem signal to be corrupted by noise generated by TV sets that are connected to the other outputs.

---

Where should cable modems be fed?

Cable modems should be fed ahead of the CVT amplified splitter.

---

What are some useful accessories?

• DC Block (model 3109)
• 75 Ohm terminator (model 2101)

---

What is needed when using a modulator and IR repeating system?

• IR-3001 repeats IR pulses
• IR-over-coax receivers detect remote control IR pulses
• IR systems need to have all unused outputs connected to DC blocked terminators.
• Up to 4 IR receivers can be powered by one IR-4000
