Before You Begin The Cardio Theater Personal Viewing System (PVS) for the Precor cardio equipment adds personalized entertainment to workouts. Fitness facilities can add a PVS to any Precor exercise equipment that supports it. A person steps on the exercise equipment, selects a desired TV program using the Channel buttons, and begins exercising. The program appears on a bright, full-color liquid crystal display (LCD) directly in front of the person, rather than at a distance on the wall.
Both the PVS screen and integrated controller receive power from a standard AC power outlet. They do not rely on power from the exercise equipment. Some functions on the PVS screen, however, such as setting up the Power-Up Channel feature, use the 0–9 keys on the display console keypad.
Initial Search for Channels After you install the PVS hardware and all power and cable or antenna connections are completed, turn on each individual PVS screen and run the automatic search feature. This feature identifies the TV channels that are available. After the feature runs, the PVS screen displays only those channels that are available. This section provides instructions for running the automatic search feature using either the integrated controller or the remote control.
Automatic Search with a Remote Control If you have a remote control, follow these steps to automatically search for the available channels on the PVS screen.
