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 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

Your motorhome is equipped with an in-motion TV satellite dish control system (Figure 5-1) to permit access to satellite television. The satellite is equipped with a high-definition receiver.

The motorhome satellite 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 dish control 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):

1. Remove the satellite dome cover on top of the motorhome by releasing the screws around the dome.
2. Change dish settings to 4-7-8 by adjusting the dip switches to the DOWN position (8 is already in the DOWN position).
3. Re-install the dome.

The Dish Remote:

1. Press MENU.
2. Press the no. 6 button.
3. Press the no. 1 button.
4. 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 is equipped with an automatic switching box that enables you to easily change between TV input modes.

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 5-2) 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.

Television Lift in Living Room (Optional on some Models)

NOTE: The inverter must be ON to use the TV lift function.

Some Allegro Buses come equipped with an optional TV lift in the living room area and the bedroom. (Figure 5-3, Figure 5-4).

The Zephyr can also be equipped with an TV lift in the bedroom area (Figure 5-6).

The TV Lift mechanism can be operated using the touch screens located on the end walls of the bedside box (Figure 5-7) or by pressing the buttons on the TV lift key fob.

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 Bar

The sound bar automatically comes on with the TV. No setup is required.

Blu-Ray Player

The standard Blu-ray player (Figure 0-9) is located in a vented cabinet in the bedroom of the coach.

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.
