RCA ANT2050X - Manual (Page 4)

Output to the TV’s S-Video Input (as shown in diagram I).
RCA patch cords and S-Video cables are supplied in most DBS
installation kits.

the straight pipe with 5 holes (as shown in diagram B). Now place
assembled pipes into small end of double mounting clamp and
loosely secure clamp with wrench (as shown in diagram C).
5. Mount pipe and mounting clamp assembly on “Support Column”
of DBS system antenna (as shown in diagram D).
6. Mount dish, antenna, and spreader bracket assembly on pipe
and mounting clamp assembly (as shown in diagram E). Note
that antenna assembly can be rotated to clear any obstruction
or for fine tuning. The ANT2050X overall height can be adjusted
by resetting the 5 hole pipe using its other pre-drilled hole
(as showin in diagram F).
7. IMPORTANT: Make sure that dish assembly is fully horizontal
and that no part of the dish itself covers the front surface of the
DBS antenna (as shown in diagram G).
8. Connect 7-foot coaxial cable(s) from LNB of DBS antenna to
“from DBS dish” connector(s) of the antenna. Next, connect the
cable(s) going into house to “to TV” connector(s) of the antenna
(as shown in diagram H).
9. An external “separating” diplexer is used to separate the antenna’s
VHF/UHF signal from the satellite signal before the coaxial cable
is connected to the DBS receiver (as shown in diagram I). Connect
the VHF/UHF cable from the external “separating” diplexer
DIRECTLY to the TV’s 75 ohm “F” jack for best results! (It is
NOT recommended to connect the VHF/UHF cable DIRECTLY to
the DBS receiver since it will likely degrade VHF/UHF picture
quality.) The satellite signal cable from the external “separating”
diplexer should be connected DIRECTLY to the DBS receiver 75
ohm “F” jack. The DBS connection to the TV can be done with
RCA type patch cords, which connect the DBS receiver’s
Video/Audio Output to the TV’s Video/Audio Input. The best
connection, however, is made using the DBS receiver’s S-Video

• Mount the antenna a minimum of 8 feet
high (the higher, the better).
• The ANT2050X is an omnidirectional
antenna; however as with any antenna,
it performs best in locations where
there is a clear path, or a “line of sight”,
to the approximate location of the TV
transmitters in your area.
Note: Even with the advanced design of
this antenna, large obstructions such as
canyon walls, mountain sides, and
other man-made or natural geographic
objects can impair performance. Therefore, it is best to minimize
any obstructions that block the “line of sight” by mounting the
DBS antenna on the roof or on the highest possible point.
• When the DBS antenna is
mounted less than 8 feet high,
the antenna can be mounted
on the side of the house, chim-
ney, or in the attic to achieve
the required height. Wood
screws or the included mortar
“anchors” can be used with the
antenna dish mounting clamp
(as shown in diagram J) to
mount the antenna on the side
of the house, the chimney, or
in the attic.
