CONNECTING YOUR CONVERTER BOX
You can connect your converter box with HDMI (not included), AV (not
included), or coaxial (included) cables. You must connect an antenna to
your converter box.
Connecting with an HDMI cable (BEST)
An HDMI connection provides the best video and audio quality.
1 Connect your existing antenna cable to the RF IN jack on the converter
box. You may need to use the antenna cable from your TV.
2 Connect an HDMI cable (not included) from the converter box’s HDMI
OUT port to your TV’s HDMI IN port.
3 Connect the AC adapter from the DC IN jack to a power outlet.
Connecting with an AV cable (BETTER)
You can use this option if your TV has Video (yellow) and Audio Left/Right
(white/red) AV ports.
1 Connect your existing antenna cable to the RF IN jack on the converter
box. You may need to use the antenna cable from your TV.
2 Connect a yellow video cable (not included) from the converter box’s
VIDEO OUT jack to your TV’s VIDEO IN jack.
3 Connect a red and white audio cable (not included) from the converter
box’s AUDIO OUT L/R jacks to your TV’s AUDIO IN L/R jacks.
Note: The red connector connects to the R (right/red) audio jack. The white
connector connects to the L (left/white) audio jack.
4 Connect the AC adapter from the DC IN jack to a power outlet.

Before using your new product, please read these instructions to prevent any damage.
Connecting with an RF (COAXIAL) cable (GOOD)
The resolution of the video signal output is 480i for both RF and AV
connections, but AV gives better sound and signal quality. You will need an
additional coaxial cable if you use this setup option.
1 Connect your existing antenna cable to the RF IN jack on the converter
box. You may need to use the antenna cable from your TV.
2 Connect a coaxial cable (included) from the converter box’s RF OUT jack
to your TV’s ANTENNA IN jack. For best performance with this
connection, change the Audio Output option to Mono from Stereo (see
your TV’s user guide for more information).
3 Connect the AC adapter from the DC IN jack to a power outlet.
