Introduction
This User Guide provides detailed information to correctly setup and evaluate the DTV-102 Converter Box.
A procedure is described to setup the converter box for normal operation using the provided GUI software, with details for evaluation of the many provided features.
1.1 Safety and Product Information
Warning: Use only the provided AC100~240V, 50Hz/60Hz power supply.
Warning: To prevent damage which may result in fire or electric shock hazard, do not expose this module to rain or moisture, or use it near water.
Caution: Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna is connected to the product, be sure the antenna is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with regard to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO
NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.
Introduction
1.2 Important Safety Instruction
•Read these instructions. Heed all warnings.
•Do not use near water.
•Clean only with dry cloth.
•Do not block any ventilation openings. Maintain well ventilated conditions around the roduct. Do not put product on bed, sofa or anything that blocks ventilation. Install according to instructions.
•Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
•Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. If the provided plug does not fit into your
outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
•Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
•Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.
•Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
•Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
•Apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus.
•Do not perform any servicing other than that contained in the operating instructions unless you are qualified to to so.

Introduction
1.3 Board Level Description
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.
Figure1. Connectors
Introduction
The module also includes an infra-red (IR) receiver and three push buttons to provide front panel control for the
power on/off and channel up/down functions.
The only one LED indicates three possible power states for the converter box:
• |
Powered on and functional |
Bright Green LED is ON |
• |
In stand-by mode |
Dim Red LED is ON |
• |
Powered off |
Red LED is OFF. |
