Keystone Key TV System Guide: Easy Setup and Channel Scan Instructions
Keystone’s Key TV system offers a hassle-free way to enjoy TV in your RV. Designed with G6 coax cable and auto-sensing technology, Key TV eliminates the need for boosters and A/B switches, automatically switching between over-the-air (OTA) antenna signals and cable when available. Let’s explore how Key TV works and how to set up over-the-air, cable, and satellite TV.
Key TV Overview: How It Works
- Auto-Sensing Technology: Key TV automatically detects and switches between OTA antenna signals and park cable.
- G6 Coax Cable: Designed with straight cable runs, enhancing signal quality and reliability.
Setting Up Key TV in Three Modes
1. Over-the-Air (OTA) Antenna Setup
- Step 1: Ensure the blue light on the Key TV Multi-Source Signal Controller is ON.
- Step 2: Ensure no cable is connected to the CATV port on the controller, as this may interfere with antenna signals.
- Step 3: Connect the TV cable to the CATV/ANT port on the wall plate.
- Step 4: Turn on the TV, set the source to TV.
- Step 5: Access the menu, select Channels > Air, and run an Auto Channel Scan.
- Note: Perform these steps on each TV every time you move to a new location.
2. Park Cable Setup
- Step 1: Ensure the blue light on the Key TV Multi-Source Signal Controller is ON.
- Step 2: Connect the external park cable to the CATV port on the Key TV controller. Always use RG6 coaxial cable, with a recommended maximum length of 25 feet.
- Step 3: Connect the TV cable to the CATV/ANT port on the wall plate.
- Step 4: Turn on the TV, set the source to TV.
- Step 5: In the menu, select Channels > Cable, then perform an Auto Channel Scan.
- Note: Each TV in the RV will require a channel scan when relocating.
3. Satellite TV Setup
- Step 1: Ensure the blue light on the Key TV Multi-Source Signal Controller is ON.
- Step 2: Connect the portable satellite cable to the SAT port. Use RG6 coaxial cable, with a maximum length of 25 feet.
- Step 3: Connect an RG6 coaxial cable from the wall plate’s SAT port to the receiver’s Satellite In port.
- Step 4: Connect the receiver’s Out port to the TV’s HDMI port using an HDMI cable.
- Step 5: Turn on both the TV and the receiver, set the TV source to the correct HDMI input, and follow instructions from your satellite provider.
Tips for Optimal Use
- Auto Channel Scans: Each time you change locations, perform an auto channel scan on all TVs.
- Cable Quality and Length: Use high-quality RG6 coaxial cables, and limit cable lengths to 25 feet for the best signal.
Keystone’s Key TV system makes it easy to enjoy various TV options on the road with seamless switching and high-quality viewing.
