Channel Vision P-0321 Instruction manual
Channel Vision P-0321 is a digital cable combiner that allows you to integrate modulated signals into a digital cable system without using an RF filter. This allows several modulated channels to be integrated with a full digital cable feed without requiring any digital programming to be filtered out. The P-0321 also has a built-in IR repeating system, making it easy to control other devices in your home theater system.
Here are some of the features and benefits of the Channel Vision P-0321:
- Enables modulation into a digital cable system without using a filter
- Built-in IR repeating system

The P-0321 allows you to integrate modulated signals into a digital cable system without using an RF filter. This allows several modulated channels to be integrated with a full digital cable feed without requiring any digital programming to be filtered out.
Features:
! Enables modulation into a digital cable system without using a filter
! Built-in IR repeating system
! Easy installation
! Remote control and IR coax adaptor with IR receiver included
Basic Application
Connect the P-0321 as shown and locate it at the main distribution point in the house. The output of the P-0321 will send both CATV and the modulator’s output to the TV location over a single coax cable. Switching between the
CATV and modulator signals is simple: just point the remote at an IR receiver connected to the coax-based IR system and the IR signal will travel back to the
P-0321 and change it to the desired input.

Connecting the Digital Cable Box to the TV
For best results, use a 2-way RF splitter to feed the RF inputs of the CATV box and the TV set. Then use RCA cables to connect the audio/video outputs from the CATV box to the audio/video inputs of the TV.

Systems with Multiple Digital CATV Boxes
To create systems with multiple locations, simply split the output of the modulator and the CATV feed, then connect the outputs of the splitters to each
P-0321. For larger systems, use splitters with more outputs.

Troubleshooting
If your IR system is not working, check to see if the P-0321 is feeding approximately 12 Volts DC onto the coax between the shield and center pin. (Any voltage between 8-12VDC is OK). If there is no voltage between the center pin and shield, check the connectors on each end of the coax.

If you are using an RF splitter between the modulator and the P-0321 or between the P-0321 and the IR coax adaptor (IR-4101), check to make sure you have approximately 8-12 Volts DC on the coax going into the
IR-4101. If there is no voltage at that point, check the following items:
1. Make sure you are using a DC passing splitter. Traditional splitters will short out DC voltage traveling on the coax and prevent your IR system from working.
2. Make sure that there are DC blocks (model 3109) on any output from the RF splitter that will not be connected to an IR-4101. If outputs from the splitter are connected directly to TV sets without going through a IR-4101 or DC block, the system voltage will be shorted out by the input of the TV set.
3. Double check the fittings at the end of your coax cables. If a little bit of shielding is touching the center pin, the voltage will be shorted out and the system will not work.
4. Don’t worry. The IR engine has a current limiting circuit. If the engine is shorted (due to a bad connection or a non-DC passing splitter) nothing will be harmed.
