    Hi Tom,

    The gray cable from the TV goes to a 3 way splitter that is behind the Stereo. The output that normally runs to the second (bedroom) TV on the back of the Antenna Amplifier Power Supply connect to the input pf the 3 way splitter. The outputs then go to the TV, the Bedroom TV connection, and the TV connection inside the curbside storage door.

    Since I don't use a bedroom TV, I disconnected that coax and found an adapter (Type F to Motorola Auto Antenna Plug) and fed that to the Stereo Antenna input. You'll be surprised a the improvement in the Stereo FM reception using the roof antenna with the amplifier in place of the small passive antenna on the side of the slideout.

    Hope you enjoy yours as much as we enjoy ours.

    Hey RodeoGeorge! Just picked up my 8289WS Wednesday and now the mad rush to get all the crap put into it from the old trailer. One question I had for you. How is your TV hooked up? Does the gray cable from the back of the TV that disappear into the hole behind the TV hook to the back side of the amplifier below. My last rig was on a swing arm and the cable plugged from the back of the TV to the amplifier jack. I haven't had time to really mess with it but just turned it on with the Antenna up and it said weak signal. Twisted the antenna a bit but didn't get anything. Needed to keep loading it in prep for heading out tomorrow. I'll take pictures over the weekend. Thus far I really like the unit other than having to put out the slide to get to the fridge.
