The DTV-102 supports one input and two outputs. The input is a standard RF connector, which can be
connected to an antenna with a coaxial cable. The outputs are standard NTSC composite video and left/right
audio outputs, with RCA jack connectors, and a standard RF output; both are provided to insure an easy
connection to any analog TV. The RF output provides video modulated on Channel 3 or Channel 4, as selected
by the on-board switch.

The Audio/Video (A/V) cables provide good picture quality and stereo sound, and should be used if available on
the TV. The A/V jacks are color coded (yellow for video, red for right audio and white for left audio). If the TV has
only one input for audio (mono), connect it to the left (white) audio jack on the converter box (CB) .
The RF jack and coaxial cable provide acceptable picture and mono sound quality. It should be used if A/V
connections are not available on the TV. RF jacks are typically used to connect your TV to terrestrial antenna
sources.
Note: Be sure to use RG-6 coaxial cable when connecting from the antenna to the CB module.

Basic Operation
This chapter will describe the steps required for basic operation of the DTV-102 converter box (CB), including
performing the initial channel scan, changing channels, language control, and information display. Please refer
to Section 1.4 above for a description of the converter box remote control button functions as referenced in this
chapter.
Basic Operation
3.2 Changing Channels
One advantage of digital television is the ability for a broadcaster to transmit more than one program
simultaneously on one channel. This is done by using major and minor channel numbers such as 4-1
(major channel) and 4-2, 4-3 and 4-4 (minor or sub-channels.) With digital television, a broadcaster on
channel 4 (the major number) may provide their usual programming on channel 4-1 but also provide
other programs on channel 4-2, 4-3, 4-4, etc. Note that some broadcasters only broadcast their usual
programming on one channel such as 4-1. Note that you can watch HDTV programs even if you do not
have an HDTV capable television. When the HDTV programs are received by the CB, the CB converts
the broadcaster’s signal so it can be viewed on any television in standard resolution.
3.1 Initial Channel Scan
1.To perform a channel scan when the input is from a terrestrial antenna, click the MENU button on the CB
remote control to display the setup menu, press the
the navigation button to select “Auto Scan”, press the
navigation buttons to highlight “CHANNEL”, press
direction button or the ENTER button to start
auto scan.
After scanning, switching between channels can be easily done like changing channels on a regular
television, but there are several ways to do it:
•
•
•
Use the Channel Up (Ch+) and Channel Down (Ch-) buttons on the CB remote control.
Use the Channel Up (Ch+) and Channel Down (Ch-) buttons on the CB front panel.
Use the number and dash (-) remote buttons to enter in the desired channel number.
Enter in the major number, then the “-“ button, then the minor number.
(e.g. Enter “1”, “3”, “-“, “2” to tune to channel 13-2.)

2. After pressing the
channels, and add these channels to the list of available channels. The Auto Scan Status window, as
shown in Figure 8 below, shows the progress of the channel scan as well as the total number of digital
channels found, including major and minor channels.
The auto scan process can be cancelled at any time by pressing the ENTER button on the CB remote
control.
If the major channel is desired, it is only necessary to enter in the major channel number
(e.g. Entering “1”, “3” will tune to channel 13-1.)
•
Use the Q.VIEW button to switch to the last channel viewed.

Service 1 to Service 6. Today, Service 1 is commonly used.
A new digital TV broadcast can contain both Analog TV CC as well as digital TV CC. You have two
