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.
