Connecting to the Campus TV System

In each student room there is a telecommunications jack box which contains connections for telephone, network (orange colored jacks), and cable TV. After locating the box, connect your coax/cable TV jumper cable from the cable TV jack directly to the coax/cable TV connection on the back of the television.

TV Sets

Your TV should be cable ready and the TV remote is present. Most TV sets rely on the remote for the setup/menu features which are not readily available on the front TV panel. After connecting your TV, make sure you enter the TV’s setup menu and select the broadcast feature as “cable”. You then need to set “auto select” for your TV to begin selecting and locking in the available channels. These programming features should be performed every time the TV is unplugged from the power source. (e.g. School breaks-when residence halls are vacated)

VCR’s and Game Devices

If you have a VCR or game device to connect, first connect a coaxial jumper from the wall plate to the input connector on your VCR/game module. Next connect the second coaxial jumper from the output connector on your VCR/game module to your television. Refer to the VCR/game module owner's manual for further instructions and problem resolution.

Multiple TV’s and Devices

Before bringing a TV and/or VCR to campus, we strongly suggest you talk to your roommates to determine their plans. Although you may connect a cable TV splitter, multiple TVs in the same room may lead to crowded conditions. Connecting multiple devices to the one cable TV jack, along with VCR’s and games, may also cause low signal strength or distortion which will result in poor picture quality.
