Note

If you have any question about the DTV’s antenna, visit www.antennaweb.org for further information.

Depending on your antenna system, you may need different types of combiners (mixers) or separators (splitters) for HDTV signal. The minimum RF bandpass on these devices is 2,000MHz or 2GHz.

For your safety and to avoid damage to this unit, please unplug the RF coaxial cable from the antenna Input jack before moving the unit.

If you did use an antenna to receive Analog TV, it should also work for DTV reception. Outdoor or attic antennas will be more effective than a set-top box or inside antenna.

To Turn On your reception source easily between antenna and cable, install an antenna selector.

If you are not receiving a signal from your cable service, contact the Cable provider.

Only the left loudspeaker reproduces sound for mono equipment. Use a mono to stereo adapter (not supplied) for sound reproduction via all internal loudspeakers.

Plugging in the AC power cord

Make sure that the AC power cord must be plugged to an AC outlet after all the necessary connections are made.

Caution

Do not connect the AC power cord to a power supply outside the indicated voltage of this unit (AC 120V).

Connecting the AC power cord to a power supply outside of this range may result in fire, smoke, unit failure or electrical shock.

Note

Each time you plug in the AC power cord, no operations will be performed for a few seconds. This is not a malfunction.
