DIRECTV Mobile Receiver/Controller User’s Guide 1-2 System Overview Mobile Receiver/Controller Your TracVision system is a state-of-the-art, actively stabilized antenna system that delivers live satellite TV to your mobile audio/video entertainment system.
PAGE 13
Introduction 1-3 Receiving Satellite TV Signals Like a satellite dish used at home, the TracVision antenna needs a clear view of the DIRECTV® satellite(s) to receive satellite TV signals. Consider the three essentials noted on the following pages to ensure trouble-free reception. DIRECTV 101 Satellite Location Satellite Footprint Each DIRECTV satellite is located at a fixed position above the Earth’s equator and beams TV signals down to North America.
PAGE 14
DIRECTV Mobile Receiver/Controller User’s Guide Elevation Angle Blockage Since TV satellites are located above the equator, the TracVision antenna needs to point toward the southern sky to receive satellite TV signals. In addition, the antenna must be tilted at the proper elevation angle to point at the satellite. The further south you go, the higher the elevation becomes. For example, if you’re in the Massachusetts area, the 101 satellite is located 33º above the southern horizon.

Troubleshooting 10-1 Five Simple Checks If you are experiencing a problem, first check the five simple things below. If none of these are the problem, continue troubleshooting using the remainder of this section as a guide. 2 1 Can the antenna see the satellite? The antenna requires an unobstructed view of the southern sky to receive satellite TV signals. Common causes of blockage include trees, buildings, bridges, or mountains.

Troubleshooting 10-3 Causes and Solutions to Common Problems There are a number of common issues that can affect the signal reception quality or the operation of the TracVision system. The following sections identify these issues and provide potential solutions. Blown Fuse The rear panel of the receiver includes a fast-blow fuse rated for 8 amps. If this fuse has blown, the system will not operate. Fuse Unscrew the cap and replace the fuse.
PAGE 87
DIRECTV Mobile Receiver/Controller User’s Guide Loose Cable Connectors A loose connector can reduce the signal quality. Check the cable connections at the antenna unit, receiver, RF converter, audio/video components, and other equipment to ensure they are securely attached. Satellite Signal Blocked Satellite signals can be blocked or degraded by tall or solid stuctures such as trees, buildings, mountains, or bridges. Simply moving to clear an obstruction will restore signal quality.

Troubleshooting Receiver Lost Activation Information INPUT Button Not Set to Satellite Source If you can only access the DIRECTV preview channels, such as channel 100, while all other channels show a message to call Ext. 722, and you have already activated the receiver, the receiver may have lost its stored activation data. This may occur if the receiver is left idle (does not receive a satellite signal) for an extended period of time.

Troubleshooting RF Converter Too Close to Receiver Ground Loop Generating Electrical Noise The RF converter must be placed at least three feet away from the receiver. Placing the RF converter closer to the receiver may result in interference, causing the remote control to operate intermittently or not at all. Also make sure the RF converter is not located behind a metal structure. The system’s audio cables might pick up the electrical noise or hum caused by a ground loop on the vehicle/vessel.

DIRECTV Mobile Receiver/Controller User’s Guide 10-4 System Status Lights System Status Lights Three status lights on the front of the mobile receiver indicate the current status of the system and can help you identify problems. During normal operation, all three status lights should be lit green. The following tables explain what the different light conditions indicate. If multiple receivers are connected, the ANTENNA light on secondary receivers will remain off at all times.
