Television Antenna

You can automatically search for channels that are active in your area by editing and scanning channels on your remote control.

To do this you will need to:
• Press the power button to turn the television ON
• Press Settings
• Go to Channels, press “OK”
• Go to Auto Tuning, press “OK”
• Press “OK” on Start
• After Auto Tuning is complete, press the “EXIT” button.

NOTE: The antenna booster is located in the front, right cabinet of your unit, and must be ON when using the antenna, and OFF when using cable.

NOTE: If the motorhome has been moved, the channels must be rescanned on each TV.

NOTE: Due to Tiffin Motor Homes’ commitment to continuous research and development, some units might also contain televisions manufactured by other companies (LG, Samsung, etc.). Refer to the information in your Owner’s Information Package on setup for the brands.

Television Satellite Dish (Optional)

The RV may be equipped with a TV satellite dish control system (Figure 6-1) to permit access to satellite television. If so, the satellite will be equipped with a standard,
non-high definition Direct TV receiver.

If your motorhome is equipped with an optional satellite dish it is capable of receiving High Definition (HD) satellite signal from Dish Network. However, you must subscribe to HD service and install a HD receiver. Factory installed satellite dishes must have a HD receiver in order to obtain a clear picture. Your satellite dish will not receive High Definition programming from Direct TV; however, it is capable of receiving standard definition programming from Direct TV’s Satellite 101.

Follow the directions in the Owner’s Manual for this dish-control mechanism to obtain the best orientation of the satellite dish for desired television reception. The Allegro is equipped with an in-motion satellite dish.

Television Sets

Your motorhome is High Definition (HD) ready and is capable of receiving channels that are broadcasting in High Definition.

In order to receive a clear picture from your satellite dish, you must subscribe to High Definition (HD) service. Your motorhome does not feature a manual switching box, therefore, in order to change from satellite to DVD or TV antenna, follow the directions listed below:

To change the mode of your television, press INPUT on your remote control. Then, select TV, Blu-ray, or Satellite, and press OK.

NOTE: The booster must be ON for the antenna and OFF for the cable. The television sets (Figure 6-2) are located in different areas of the motorhome. All TV sets are High Definition.

The televisions are powered by 120-volt AC electricity; therefore, the motorhome must either be plugged into an external source of AC power or using on-board power from the generator. An optional inverter would also permit the 12-volt DC power to be converted into 120 volt AC for the televisions.

Detailed operation of the televisions is provided in the accompanying owner’s manuals found in the Owner’s Information Package included with the motorhome.

Infrared Repeater

The motorhome features an infrared repeater, which enables the owner to utilize the satellite remote control from various areas of the coach. An infrared repeater will be located in the bedroom and by the overhead TV located in the driver’s area. If your motorhome has the optional outside entertainment system, this feature will be located on it also.

To utilize the infrared repeater, locate the one inside the cabinet that contains the DVD player. Peel the adhesive backing from the back of the infrared repeater and line the infrared repeater against the satellite receiver’s infrared repeater. This will allow the infrared repeater to operate when the satellite remote control is directed toward the infrared repeater situated next to the TV.

You will now have the convenience of changing the satellite receiver channels from various areas of the coach.

NOTE: The infrared repeater will not work with a Dish Network receiver.

Sound System

Press INPUT.
Scroll up to SPEAKERS.
Select EXTERNAL SPEAKERS, and then press EXIT.
Using your Blu-ray control, press the POWER button.
Press the HOME button.
Go to EXT IN, and press OK.
Go to DIGITAL IN, and press OK.
To quit using the surround sound option, press INPUT on the TV remote control.
