Digital Television Transition Notice: This device contains a digital television tuner, so it should receive digital over the air TV programming, with a suitable antenna, after the end of full-power analog TV broadcasting in the United States on February 17, 2009. After February 17, 2009, a television receiver with only an analog broadcast tuner will require a converter box to receive full power over-the-air broadcasts with an antenna because of the Nation’s transition to digital broadcasting. Analog-only TVs should continue to work as before to receive low power, Class A or translator television stations and with cable and satellite TV services, gaming consoles, VCRs, DVD players, and similar products. When a converter box is used with an older television receiver, a signal splitter might be necessary to continue to receive low-power analog broadcasts via an antenna. Information about the DTV transition is available from www.DTV.gov or 1-888-CALL-FCC, and from www.dtv2009.gov or 1-888-DTV-2009 for information about subsidized coupons for digital-to-analog converter boxes.

Thank You for purchasing the DT502 digital TV converter box. It has been designed to bring you many years of viewing enjoyment from digital TV broadcasts when connected to a television that does not incorporate a digital tuner. Enjoy crystal clear quality that is free of ghosting and snowy interference.
Special Note:
Digital TV broadcasts require an adequate signal strength from your antenna to provide the best possible viewing experience. Should a TV broadcast be disrupted by choppy reception or picture stutter, readjust your antenna or consider a high quality rooftop antenna for best results.
*Antennaweb.org provides personalized information for choosing antenna type and orientation for your particular location.

The DT502 is equipped with a shared analog pass-through and it provides a way for you to receive analog broadcast without using a splitter. The TV Out (RF Out) serves both as the Channel 3/4 output and as the analog pass-through output. The output from this connector depends on if the unit is On (active) or it is in Standby (sleep) mode.
This table illustrates the different output from the RF Out connector.
