3. How do I install my digital-to-analog converter box?
You should refer to the manufacturer’s instructions in the manual and/or the “quick start guide”
provided with the converter box. If those are not available, you can use the instructions below
from the FCC’s basic guide to installing a digital-to-analog converter box.
To connect your digital-to-analog converter box to your analog TV you will need your analog
TV, the antenna that you have been using (indoor or outdoor), and the coaxial wire that currently
connects your antenna to your TV. It is important to know that you will still need to use an
antenna with your digital-to-analog converter box. Your new converter box comes with a
coaxial wire and a remote control. Make sure you unplug the power from your TV and, if you
are using an indoor amplified antenna, from your antenna before you begin installing the
converter box.
First unplug the existing coaxial antenna wire from your TV “Antenna In (RF)” port or socket.
(In most cases this socket is found in the back of your TV.)
Then plug the existing coaxial wire into the “Antenna In (RF)” port on your converter box.
Then, using the coaxial wire that came with your converter box, plug one end into the “Out to
TV (RF)” port on your converter box and the other end into the “Antenna In (RF)” port on your
TV.
Now plug the power cords on your converter box, TV, and if you are using an indoor ampligied
antenna, your antenna into a power outlet and turn onall three. Tune your TV to channel 3 or 4
using the instructions that came with your converter box. Once you’ve tuned your TV to one of
these channels, follow the on-screen set-up guide to scan for available DTV channels using the
remote control that came with your converter box.
If you have specific questions about your converter box, you can call the manufacturer’s
technical support hotline or ask your retailer. Back to index
