Quick Start Guide

Thank you for purchasing your Accurian 

Digital HDTV receiver from RadioShack. Your 

receiver lets you receive high resolution 

picture quality and supports programs 

broadcasted in Dolby digital 5.1 surround 

sound. 

using your HDTV receiver

install your remote’s batteries

 

Remove your battery 
compartment.

 

Insert two AAA batteries, 

matching the polarity (+ and -) 

marked inside.

 

Replace your cover.

After noting all available DTV channels in your area from the websites provided, a suitable antenna 

must be selected. Determine which antenna best suits your needs.

•  Can I use my existing analog TV Antenna?
 

If you receive good noise free, ghost free signals on your analog channels, especially UHF channels 

(most DTV signals are transmitted on UHF), you MAY be able to use your existing antenna system. 

In this case, to feed the TV signals to both the set-top box and your existing TV/VCR system, you will 

need to use a signal splitter (see Page 18). Passive signal splitters cause loss which can degrade the 

signal. If needed, contact your local RadioShack store for an Amplified 2-way splitter that will not 

degrade the signal.

•  Can I use an indoor set-top antenna? In strong signal areas, without reflection problems, this may be 

satisfactory, but is not recommended. Your local RadioShack store sells antennas for cases where an 

indoor antenna is suitable.

•  Do I need an antenna upgrade? If the above options are not satisfactory, then you need an antenna 

upgrade. Consult with your local RadioShack store.

•  Choosing a new Antenna System:If all available DTV transmissions are from approximately 

the same direction, the installation should be simple and inexpensive. The websites can help 

with choice of antenna and pointing details. Ideally, antennas should be mounted high (e.g. on 

a chimney) and clear of obstructions. An attic installation may be satisfactory. If available DTV 

transmissions are from different directions, then either a motorized antenna (with a rotator) or 

an “area special” antenna system is required. You can purchase antenna rotators from your local 

RadioShack store or a professional antenna installer. Area special antennas are best handled by 

professional antenna installers.

See page 17 of your User’s Guide for more detailed information on setting up your antenna.

You must find out which stations in your 

area are broadcasting in DTV. To find out 

which stations in your area are broadcasting 

in DTV and what kind of antenna system you 

will need, visit the following two websites:

 www.titantv.com - Gives you local DTV 

channels, programming and station 

informaton.

 

www.antennaweb.org - Gives you 

station information, antenna selection 

suggestions and detailed antenna pointing 

information for both your DTV and analog 

TV signals. 

Simply input your zip code and obtain most 

of the information you need. We advise 

you to enter exact address information 

since the website takes into account 

topographical data supplied by the US 

Geographical Survey for each specified 

address.

before you get started

scan and store DTV channels into your HDTV receiver
Once you have installed your antenna and rotator (if needed), you should use the information you collected 

from the  websites provided and point your antenna towards the direction where there are the largest 

number of DTV stations. If there are no previous channels stored in your HDTV receiver, the factory default 
settings lets your receiver automatically scan for channels when you turn it on 
Otherwise, use the AUTO SCAN MENU, followed by the RESCAN function (see page 27 of your User’s Guide) 
of the HDTV receiver to find and store all these stations into the receiver. 

 

Press MENU on your receiver or remote.



Note

Menu 

Then, if necessary, rotate your antenna towards the direction where there are the second 

largest numbers of DTV stations. Select the UPDATE function in the AUTO SCAN menu to add 

new channels only and store the previously scanned channels. Continue the process until you 

store all channels you are capable of receiving. After these simple steps, you are now ready 

to enjoy crisp, clear, and FREE terrestrial/over-the-air DTV programming!
