Digital HDTV Receiver

Quick Start Guide

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.

selecting your antenna

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.

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.
