This article will help you install your
digital-to-analog-converter box if your TV set has twin-lead
terminals for attaching the antenna, instead of a coaxial
connector plug or port.
Supplies: You will need your analog TV,
the antenna you have been using (indoor or outdoor), the
twin-lead wire that currently connects your antenna to your
TV, and two adaptors or “matching transformers” as
shown below. Before you begin the installation of the
converter box, you should unplug the power from your TV. |
 |
Step 1.
Unscrew the existing twin-lead antenna wire from your TV
“Antenna In” twin-lead terminals. |
 |
|
Step 2.
Attach the existing twin-lead antenna wire to the twin-lead
terminals on the twin-lead adaptor (like the image below).
Then plug the adaptor’s coaxial connector into the
“Antenna In (RF)” port on the Converter Box. |
|
Step 3.
Using coaxial wire, plug one end into the “Out To TV (RF)”
port on the Converter Box. Plug the other end into the coaxial
port on the coaxial adaptor. Then attach the twin-lead output
of the coaxial adaptor to your TV “Antenna In”
twin-lead terminals. |
|
Step 4.
Plug the power cords on your Converter Box and TV into a power
outlet, and turn on your TV and Converter Box. Using the
instructions that come with your Converter Box, tune your TV
to channel 3 or 4. Using the remote that comes with your
Converter Box, follow the on-screen set-up guide to scan for
available DTV channels, and begin enjoying the benefits of
Digital Television! |
- If your Converter Box includes an
“analog pass-through” feature, this set up will
also allow you to receive any stations that still broadcast
in analog in your area. Follow the instructions that come
with your Converter Box for how to tune analog
channels.
