Congratulations on purchasing your new RCA Digital TV Converter Box.

Please read these instructions for quick tips on using the unit.

About Digital TV

Digital TV is a new broadcast system for TV stations intended to replace the analog NTSC television system in the United States. 

The technical standard for Digital TV is defi ned by the Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC).

Digital channels

An advantage of digital TV broadcasting is that each broadcaster can now send multiple channels. For example, a broadcaster 

might send the main program on channel 8-1 with a weather channel on channel 8-2. To view the weather on that station, 

just press the number “8”, then the “dash” button, and then the number “2”. The standard format of digital channel numbers 

consists of two groups of numbers (2-digit and 1-digit) and separated by a dash (e.g. 12-3).

Receiving digital signals

The Digital TV signal is different from the analog NTSC signal. A good signal strength is required to successfully receive and 

decode Digital TV broadcasts. Unlike analog broadcasts, which may show a “fuzzy” image with a weak signal, Digital TV images 

may “break up” or not display at all if the signal is too weak. If your Digital TV signal is weak, you may need to purchase a more 

powerful antenna to improve reception.

In general, a simple indoor antenna connected to the DTA800B1 Digital TV Converter Box is suffi cient for receiving Digital TV. 

However, some areas may require the use of a more powerful antenna. If you fi nd you are not receiving local stations or the 

signal is weak, you should switch to a “Smart Antenna” or an outdoor antenna. The Smart Antenna is a new type of steerable 

antenna without any moving parts and is highly recommended. This Converter Box is compatible for connection with a Smart 

Antenna.

Step 1: Installation 

The Converter Box can be installed either horizontally or vertically. The left side of the Converter Box can be rotated as a stand 

for vertical installation.  You must adequately ventilate the product. Refer to your user manual for the ventilation requirement.
