Submit

Explanation

The correct answer is TRUE. When installing a non-tuner, the white banded non-tuner cable is connected to the TV and the black banded cable connects to the video source. This means that the white cable carries the signal from the TV to the non-tuner device, while the black cable carries the signal from the video source to the non-tuner device. This setup allows for proper transmission of audio and video signals between the TV and the non-tuner device.

It also mentions that the HD Non-Tuners are received with Composite/Component Cable Harnesses. However, there is no indication that these cable harnesses are necessary for the installation or that the HDMI connection is insufficient. Therefore, there is no need to abort the installation and reschedule.

Submit
25. Targetcast Networks will provide Black Ty Wraps, Velcro, Surge Protectors, and F Connectors.

Explanation

The statement is false because there is no mention of Targetcast Networks providing any specific items such as Black Ty Wraps, Velcro, Surge Protectors, and F Connectors. Therefore, we cannot conclude that Targetcast Networks will provide these items.

Submit
26. All Targetcasters (TC's) can be determined by type by looking at the bottom of the unit. Which below would describe a HD Non Tuner?

Explanation

The correct answer is "DCAST 10.1". This is because the question asks for a HD Non Tuner, and out of the given options, "DCAST 10.1" is the only one that fits this description. The other options either do not mention HD or are not Non Tuner units.

Submit
27. The tech will physically install the Targetcasters (TC's) to the TV before assigning them to the site via the Targetcast Networks Installer Application.

Component cables provide a higher quality video signal compared to composite cables, and using the same component settings for both the source and output ensures compatibility and optimal video quality.

Submit
30. In order to see the Downloading or Uploading Progress once the TC has power applied, what setting below allows you to see this on the TV screen?

Explanation

Setting the "Display Disable" option to "NO" allows you to see the Downloading or Uploading Progress on the TV screen once the TC has power applied.
