06 Entertainments
Television Antenna
You can automatically search for channels that are active in your area by editing and scanning channels on your remote control. To set up the television, refer to the television instruction manual provided.
NOTE: The antenna booster is located in the rear entertainment 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 Motorhomes’ 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.
Televeision Satellite Dish (Optional)
Your motorhome might be equipped with an in-motion TV satellite dish control system (Figure 0-1) to permit access to satellite television. If so, the satellite will be equipped with a standard, non-high-definition 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.
The dome satellite, on top of the coach, can be raised to allow easy access to change switches to a new satellite provider.
Follow the directions in the Owner’s Manual for this dishcontrol mechanism to obtain the best orientation of the satellite dish for desired television reception.
To set up your satellite receiver for Dish Network (Factory Configuration):
Remove the satellite dome cover on top of the motorhome by releasing the screws around the dome.
Change dish settings to 4-7-8 by adjusting the dipswitches to the DOWN position (8 is already in the DOWN position).
Re-install the dome.
On the Dish remote:
Press MENU.
Press the no. 6 button.
Press the no. 1 button.
Press the no. 1 button again.
This will bring up the Dish screen. Go to the right-hand column where it says “CHECK SWITCH.”
Once this is done, EXIT the system, then press 0-0-0 to download the information.
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 0-2) 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.
Blu-Ray Player
The standard Blu-ray player (Figure 0-3) is located in a cabinet on the passenger’s side at mid coach under the TV.
The player allows accessibility to play, Blu-ray, iPods, and other electronic devices as well as viewing photos and playing music.
Detailed operation of the player is provided in the accompanying manuals found in the Owner’s Information Package included with the motorhome.
