WARNING: To prevent fire or electric shock hazard, do not expose your converter box to rain or moisture.
WARNING: Do not install your converter box in a confined space such a bookcase or similar unit.
WARNING: Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Slots and
openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of your converter box and to protect it
from overheating.
The openings should never be blocked by placing your converter box on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface.Your
converter box should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided
or the manufacturer's instructions have been adhered to.
CAUTION: Your converter box should not be exposed to water (dripping or splashing) and no objects filled with liquids,
such as vases, should be placed on it.
POWER ADAPTER WARNING: The manufacturers of most appliances recommend that their appliance be placed on a
dedicated circuit—a single outlet circuit which powers only that appliance and has no additional outlets or branch circuits.
Overloaded power outlets, loose or damaged wall outlets, extension cords, frayed power cords, or damaged or cracked wire
insulation are dangerous. Any of these conditions could result in electric shock or fire. Periodically examine the power
adapter of your converter box, and if its appearance indicates damage or deterioration, unplug it, discontinue use of your
converter box, and have the power adapter replaced with an exact replacement part by an authorized service personnel.
Protect the power adapter from physical or mechanical abuse, such as being twisted, kinked, pinched, closed in a door, or
walked upon. Pay particular attention to plugs, wall outlets, and the point where the power adapter cord exits your
converter box.
To disconnect the main power from your converter box, unplug the power adapter from the power outlet. When installing
your converter box, make sure that the plug is easily accessible.
Important safety instructions
1Read these instructions.
2Keep these instructions.
3Heed all warnings.
4Follow all instructions.
5Do not use your converter box near water.
6Clean only with a dry cloth.
7Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
8Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that
produces heat.
9Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point
where it exits from the apparatus.

WARNING
Electric shock hazard
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not remove any cover or expose the device to rain or moisture. No
user-serviceable parts are inside. Refer servicing to qualified service technicians.
Lightning
For added protection for your device during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of
time, unplug it from the power outlet and disconnect any antenna or cable system. This helps prevent property damage and
personal injury from lightning and power line surges.
Power lines
An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power
circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should
be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.

perform any servicing other than that contained in the operating instructions unless you are qualified to do so.
CAUTION
Damage requiring service
Unplug this converter box from the power outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following
conditions:
• When the power supply cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
• If liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into your converter box.
• If your converter box has been exposed to rain or water.
• If your converter box does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that
are covered by the operating instructions because incorrect adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will
often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore your TV/DVD combo to its normal operation.
• If your converter box has been dropped or damaged in any way.
• When your converter box exhibits a distinct change in performance.
Outdoor antenna grounding
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to your converter box, make sure that the antenna or cable system is
grounded to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70, provides information with respect to correct grounding of the mast and supporting
structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of the
antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.
Note to CATV system installer
Article 820 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 40 provides guidance for correct grounding. Specifically, it states
that the cable ground must be connected to the grounding system of the building as close to the point of cable entry as
practical.

The resolution of the video signal output is 480i for both RF and AV connections, but AV gives better sound and signal
quality.
To connect your converter box with RF (coaxial) cable:
1Connect your existing antenna cable to the RF IN jack on the converter box. You may need to remove the antenna cable
from the back of your TV and connect it to the converter box.
2Connect a coaxial cable (included) to the RF OUT jack on the back of your converter box, then connect the other end of
the cable to the ANTENNA IN jack on the back of the TV. For best performance with this connection, change the Audio
Output option to Mono from Stereo (refer to your TV’s user guide).
3Plug the AC adapter into a power outlet or surge protector, then plug the end of the cable into the DC IN jack on the
converter box.
4Turn on your TV and converter box.
5Tune the TV to channel 3 and follow the Easy Install wizard on the screen when you turn it on for the first time.
If channel 3 is used as a broadcast station in your area, you need to switch the converter box's RF Output to channel 4
after the Easy Install wizard is finished. To change the RF Output, press MENU on the remote control, select AV Settings
> RFM. Press S T to switch between RF CH-3 and RF CH-4.
Using the analog pass-through
If you live in an area where some TV stations (such as low-power stations, translator stations, Class A stations, etc.) are still
broadcasting analog signals, your TV can receive these signals by using the analog pass-through feature of your converter
box.
To use the analog pass-through:
1Use the included RF cable to connect the Converter Box to your TV following the instructions above.
2Press the PASS-THROUGH button on the remote control to activate the analog pass-through function.
3Change the channels on your TV set using the TV's remote control to tune to the desired analog channel.
Note
Analog pass-through will not work if you
connect the converter box using the optional
AV cable. However, you can connect both cable
types at the same time.
