User questions & answers

Question:	May I use this product to split an fm signal from an antennae and send it to my recveivers and equipment which uses a coaxial cable
Answer:	I don't see why not, the fm frequencies use the same antenna as vhf and as long as you have an antenna with that capability I believe so. The splitter/booster just distributes the signal equally between each connection so there is no signal loss from too many splits. Yes,it can be used for this purpose
Question:	If this amp is not compatible with a tv broadcast rf/rx antenna, could you recommend a good one
Answer:	this device is compatible with pretty much all service providers of COAX tv service like comcast, spectrum and verizon
Question:	Can this be mounted outdoors
Answer:	If mounted outdoors it should be in a sheltered, dry location - preferably in a telecom enclosure. The power supply is rated for INDOOR USE ONLY.
Question:	Can two be daisy-chained successfully? I have one already but need more than 8 outlets in my home
Answer:	No. Daisy chaining has a high probability of failure, and is strongly discouraged. If you need more that 8 ports it is better to use a 2-way splitter to feed 2 separate amplifiers.

Product description

Nippon America's UHF VHF FM Distribution Amplifier is perfect for indoor TV and FM antennas requiring more signal gain. It is suitable for all HDTV television broadcasts, as well as standard and HD FM.



Please Note: This will not boost or improve a bad/weak signal, it is made to compensate for signal loss from splitters and long cable runs.



Pick a spot in your television cable run where you can install the booster. A TV antenna signal booster is installed in-line that is, the cable must connect to the input and output of the booster. If you're only boosting the signal for one television, it's logical to install it near the television. If you're boosting signal for multiple televisions, choose a spot near your antenna line splitter.



Installation Note: TV amplifiers that have a power supply (such as this model) should be installed indoors, or in a location that will not be subject to any moisture. A booster should be installed as close as possible to the antenna, and before any coax cable splitters that may also be used.



NOTE ABOUT USE and POTENTIAL FOR STATION LOSS: A signal amplifier/booster will only improve a signal that is already present. This booster should work for any channel that is used by off-air TV stations. There are always situations where an amplifier does not help. If the station is particularly weak, but there are other very strong channels nearby, even radio stations, such radio station signals may block out other TV stations. This amplifier amplifies everything within the point where a local strong station could create interference that covers up the weak station you are attempting to receive.



If the station is particularly weak, and/or there is a long length of cable, or splitters to other TV’s between the antenna and this amplifier, certain channels may also be lost.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can anyone tell me if this diminishes vhf in favor of uhf? [the cda4 channel master does]
Answer:	This type of amplifier will boost EVERYTHING nearly equally -- VHF, FM, UHF, Cellphone "LTE" noise, etc.
Question:	What’s the in- out switch for
Answer:	Following info below is from Amazon's description on their web site. The switch is for the "FM Trap" function. I assume, but do not know, it compensates for FM interference when present. If used the same unit for 25 years and replaced it with the new model last week. It fixed my problem (dead or dying DA) and I am back in business. I have never used the FM Trap. I sometimes had it "IN" and sometimes "OUT" and could never see a difference. Product description Installation steps:1-Connect amplifier as per this diagram. 2-This amplifier can not be used with TiVo. 3-Performance varies from one location to another. 4-Adjusting the gain control clockwise increases your signal strength. 5-In most cases the FM trap should be set to the IN position. ● Switchable FM Trap ● 75 OHM Input ● 75 OHM Output ● 117V Power Source ● Lightning Protection ● Heavy Metal Case ● Low Noise ● Integrated Circuit ● Gain db ● 40 VHF- 36 UHF ● Noise Figure db ● Low 5.4- Hight 6.2-UHF 14 ● FM Trap Attenuation-20 db 95-108 MHz ● Adjustable Gain control Installation instructions: 1.Connect coaxial cable from antenna/ cable to amplifier input. 2.Connect coaxial cable form output to TV set. 3.If connecting more than one TV, use a splitter between amplifier output and TV. 4.Use gain control to increase signal (turn clockwise) or reduce signal (turn counter clockwise). 5.FM trap is used to eliminate FM interference. In most cases slide switch to (IN) position. 6.Red light indicates that the amplifier is plugged into 110 volt outlet. 7.Amplifier performance varies from one location to another. 8.This amplifier generally WILL NOT WORK WITH TIVO. 9.Check the back of amplifier package for specifications and installation diagram. 10. Works with cable modems. 11. Amplifies indoor/outdoor antenna and cable signals for best reception.
Question:	Can you install an amplified 8ch splitter into this? I.e. can you “stack” amplifiers
Answer:	I suppose you could but I wouldn’t. The risk is that the output of the first amplifier would be excessive to the input of the second. These amplifiers are designed for microvolts in and millivolts out. That’s a difference of a thousand times! My question is, Why would you want to if the splitter is already amplified?
Question:	Did you lose any channels before/after this amp
Answer:	My TV has a signal input on it and sometimes I would lose a channel because it was not strong enough. This amp boosted it so that does not happen.

User questions & answers

Question:	Waterproof for outdoor use
Answer:	It doesn’t seem to be waterproof sealed. If you’re going to use it outside I think you should plug it into a GFI outlet
Question:	what is the adjustable range
Answer:	does not include numbers just bigger or smaller range
Question:	Does the output go to the tv
Answer:	Yes, output is to the usual coaxial cable that goes to the TV Antenna connection on the back of the TV. Or in my case to a distribution hub to send the signal to several rooms.
Question:	I run a single tv off of an outdoor antenna, can i place this right at rhe tv or does it need to be a certain distance from the set
Answer:	We have the amplifier right under the wall-mounted TV sitting on the mantle. We haven't tried repositioning it elsewhere. The TV jack and outlet are next to each other. I believe it would depend on where your jack and outlet are located to really determine the distance the amplifier can be placed from the TV.

User questions & answers

Question:	I have an amplified antenna will this further amplify the signal? I'm 80 miles from the source
Answer:	it locks into the hole for the Nintendo DS. I am not sure about the XL, but assume they are the same size in terms of stylus used, so would say yes. We bought the 10 pack as my son tends to lose them so these work great. It hasn't fallen out of the holder once.
Question:	I would like to mount this in the wall with panel over it. Any ideas on how to do this and be in code
Answer:	Hello, this product is only suitable for New 2DS XL.
Question:	What is the "power in/rf out" output used for? It indicates it has 15vdc on it, so I'm wondering if that is harmful to a tv
Answer:	Sorry, this is only for Nintendo 2DS, but we have another set which can be used for DS Lite.
Question:	If I have a pre-amp antenna will this be an overkill
Answer:	I don’t think so but I don’t honestly know we used it for a drawing pad
Question:	What is the length of this charger? is it an authentic nintendo dsi product
Answer:	It does not specify that it will work with the New 2DS XL, but it does work for the Old and New 3DS XL and the Old 2DS. This package of styluses may have been manufactured before the New 2DS XL came out, so some of the styluses may fit it and just not be labeled on the package. Hope this helps.
Question:	will this fit the New Nintendo 3ds XL us version
Answer:	I don’t no the measurements but there the same as the Nintendo ones and fit perfectly. And they are only plastic
Question:	Is the game case and manuals inside included with the game purchase
Answer:	No, they're soft tipped made for pressure sensitive touch screens.
Question:	Does this version include the animated cut scenes by Akira Toriyama that were added in the PS1 re-release of the game
Answer:	works for ds but not fit in the slot
Question:	Is this game backwards compatible with the 3DS
Answer:	Being that I bought them for the ds I really wouldn’t recommend using it on the switch. They sell Switch specific stylus
Question:	Is this game the definitive edition? if not which one is the best ps1, snes or nds
Answer:	Not sure. My little girl used it for her old DS screen and it worked fine on that.

User questions & answers

Question:	i understand that i add this between the antenna cable and the tv. do i need to plug this into an outlet as well
Answer:	Yes... It is a powered amplifer. You can either plug it into a wall receptacle or a USB port. If your TV has a open USB port you can power it there.
Question:	Can two antennas be boosted to one TV using a splitter
Answer:	I did this with a Splitter and it improved the reception because each Antenna was pointed in a different direction helping me get additional channels to one TV.
Question:	I get great reception on my tv (full bars), but running it through my channel master dvr, i can't get signal on some. will this help
Answer:	It may if it the reason that you are not receiving the channel is that it needs a small amount of amplification. Look at the signal meter on the dvr. If it shows a small amount of signal then amplification may help to give enough signal strength for the dvr tuner to lock on the channel.
Question:	So i add between the antenna cable and the tv. do i need to plug this in to an outlet as well
Answer:	Yes, you connect it between the tv and the antenna. And plug it into a wall outlet or a USB connection, for power. it comes with another wire and plug not shown in this picture.

User questions & answers

Question:	how long is the power cord
Answer:	Hello Steve R Jones, thank you for your question. The power cord is 5ft.
Question:	Has anyone tried using this to improve picture from an old game console (like an Atari2600 or Intellivision) that uses coax
Answer:	Hi Mathew, thank you for your question. This amplifier is designed to only boosts signal strength to compensate for cable loss and minimizes reception dropouts. If you have any further questions, please feel free to respond or give us a call between the hours of 7:00 AM – 8:00 PM Central Standard Time, Monday through Friday at 1-800-654-8483. Thank you.
Question:	How much does the amplifier boost the signal
Answer:	This should NOT boost the signal. It is a DISTRIBUTION amplifier. If you use a regular splitter, then the power is divided among the outputs. If you use a 2-way passive splitter, then each TV will get half power. A 4-way passive will give you 1/4 power at each TV. The purpose of this is to take a good signal in and send four good signals out. This will NOT turn a bad signal into a good signal.
Question:	most questions are about the antenna but, how well does the booster work - how many miles does it give, is it better than standard antenna boosters
Answer:	How good your signal is & how many stations you get is 100% dependent on your antenna, but an excellent antenna with a long cable run can still give poor performance because most of the signal is lost in the long cable. This amplifier only has one purpose - To make up for the loss of signal in your long cable between the antenna and your TV. Buy a good antenna . . . . a BIG one if your stations are far away, mount it as high off the ground as is practical and then add this amplifier and a quality cable and you'll have the best signal quality possible for your location

Product description

This is a brand new, four port cable television drop amplifier, similar to the products that your local cable company uses to correct their system's shortcomings. The amplifier allows you to connect up to four devices to a single input connection, without losing signal strength like you would with normal splitters. It boosts signal strength in an intelligent manner, by limiting the naturally stronger signals on the low frequency range and boosting the frequencies on the higher end. Since TV signals tend to natually lose strength on the high frequencies faster than the low frequencies, you are less likely to over-amplify your TV signals and cause further problems. The LSA48 provides a minimum of 0dB gain (which means no signal loss) on the low frequency end (54MHz) up to a +7.5db (approximately 5x signal gain) on the high end 1000MHz end. It improves Analog, Digital & HDTV Picture Quality, and Improves UHF/VHF/FM Antenna Reception! The unit can be used with Cable TV, OTA Antennas (Analog or Digital as long as they are non-amplified). This model packs a powerful punch in a compact, easy-to-install package! If you have multiple televisions or run a cable modem for your internet, this product is recommended. By connecting this signal booster to the cable drop coming in from the street, you can increase the signal strength and eliminate the need for additional splitters, which reduce signal strength. If you are tired of tv pictures that don't seem as clear as they should be, dropped internet connections, or just desire a reliable amplifier to give continuous, steady signal to your home or business, this is for you! Ideal for both indoor and outdoor applications, the LSA84 was engineered to withstand the harshest environmental threats with the capability of enduring repeated high power surges.

• This is a TV signal amplifier which provides one input and four outputs, for connecting multiple TV sets or cable boxes. Allows multiple devices to connect to an antenna or cable system without losing signal quality.
• Amplifier includes an integrated equalizer which varies amplifier gain. The equalizer provides more amplification to high frequency signals, which tend to get weaker over long cable runs. All ports provide an amplified signal, with a minimum gain of +0dB @ 54MHz up to +7.5dB gain @ 1000MHz.
• Suitable for Antenna or Cable TV use. Compatible With All Standard And Digital Cable TV Services, OTA Antenna Reception. Not compatible on systems with an existing amplifier or pre-amplifier. Not compatible with satellite systems.

User questions & answers

Question:	If I have to run 15' of RG6 coax to the power port, will this affect the operation of this unit
Answer:	According to data I received on this amp it can be run out to a PA.
Question:	Can I split the signal coming out of one output
Answer:	You could play a bass through it but it was definitely designed for electric guitar. I believe orange makes bass amps.
Question:	Will this work, with a digital tv antenna
Answer:	No discreet remote available as far as I know. Your phone or tablet with the Spark app, however, works as a full function remote, controlling and overriding every knob on the amp. The app also gets you over 10,000 downloadable tones. Great amp for practice and small venues. Much more than I expected.
Question:	So the adapter plugs into a wall outlet and connects with a coaxial cable to the amplifier and the amplifier connects between an antenna and the TV
Answer:	Yep. It’s the same. I had to order this bc they wouldn’t ship to AK.

This is a brand new, four port cable television drop amplifier, just like the ones that your local cable company uses to correct their system's shortcomings. It boosts signal strength by more than 5x (+8dB), Improves Analog, Digital & HDTV Picture Quality, and Improves UHF/VHF/FM Antenna Reception! The unit can be used with Cable TV, OTA Antennas (Analog or Digital as long as they are non-amplified). This model packs a powerful punch in a compact, easy-to-install package! If you have multiple televisions or run a cable modem for your internet, this product is recommended.

User questions & answers

Question:	What is an arpi2000 power inserter
Answer:	A way to power the amp, but since this package comes with a DC power supply, and has a place to connect the supply with the provided cable, you don't need a power inserter.
Question:	The install mentions a grounding wire. Does this device need to be grounded to work? Thanks
Answer:	Grounding is recommended. Grounding can protect the device from surges or perhaps lightning strikes. Consult with an electrician for proper means of grounding.
Question:	Will this work to boost internet signal? i don't have cable tv - our house is about 300 ft from the road and that seems to degrade our internet speed
Answer:	If you have cable internet (only) you would like be better off with an "active return " amplifier. The only way to really know that for sure would be to check your cable modem for proper signal levels. I would not buy this if you're specifically trying to boost cable internet.
Question:	How long is the power cord
Answer:	Includes Amplifier, Power Supply, 36 inch coaxial cable and two 75-ohm port terminators.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can just help with poor internet signal
Answer:	Sorry, If dvd player attached to Surround AV Receiver
Question:	It does work analog and digital antenna
Answer:	No you do not need more cables. The HDMI cable has both sound and video. You are going to have to trouble shoot each item starting with the cable. And work your way by eliminating each item. Is the cable new and have you used it before with any other device? My blue-ray worked straight out of the box however I had a dvd player already hooked up with HDMI so I simply used all of the same wires. If you had to test the blue-ray player then see if you can hook up some rca jacks the red yellow white ones to the audio portion of the player and the tv. That way you can at least see if you get sound from the blue-ray player. If you have a different device to use the hdmi cable with I would test that but if you have used the cable before and you know it works then yes, you need to start checking settings on the box or even the tv.
Question:	will this work with my outdoor digital antenna
Answer:	Samsung BD-H6500 vs. BD-J7500 BD-H6500 (2014 model) versus BD-J7500 (2015 model)BD-H6500 may be the best choice1) Considerably lower price2) Same user features, i. e., 3D, UHD passthrough & upscaling, etc.3) BD-6500 has excellent reviews4) Both have dual core processors for fast load speedMajor consideration is in your current entertainment system:1) BD-J7500 is a better choice for those with older HDTV's that do not have 4K UHD pass-thru as it includes (2) HDMI out. That allows connecting (1) to the HDTV and the second to an older HDMI equipped audio receiver to achieve digital audio pass-thru It also includes 7.1 analog connections for older style audio receivers.Read full review
Question:	I currently have hdtv antenna but i have keep moving it because my local channel keeps pixilating or too low of a signal. will this help me
Answer:	If you have a 4K TV, it will display the signal it's fed. If you don't have a 4K blu-ray disc then it will upconvert as best as possible but unless you have a 4K player with a 4K blu-ray disc will your 4K TV be able to put out all true 4K in all it's glory. Some blu-ray players enhance or shall we say upconvert the reg blu-ray disc better than others but I'm sure you won't be too disappointed. As time goes by, 4K discs and more 4K movie content will become more abundant and you'll be ready for the future.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this amplifier compatable with cable internet service
Answer:	I don’t know. It’s purpose is to boost the signal at the point of contact. So when the cable enters the amplifier the signal can travel further distance before arriving at the TV without loss of signal strength
Question:	Does this boost your return signal
Answer:	Passive Return = no return boost.
Question:	Im not getting my sattelite to work through our camper hook up for sattelite...will this get my signal to recieve so i dont have to run cable inside t
Answer:	I'M NOT SURE. I HAVE THIS UNIT CONNECTED TO AN OUT DOOR TV ANTENNA. WORKS WELL AS LONG AS THE ANTENNA IS IN THE RIGHT LOCATION TO RECIEVE THE TV SIGNALS.
Question:	What is the gain in db, of this unit. I have a 15db amplifier now and I need a bit more
Answer:	10-15 dB gain depends upon the frequency range.
