Introduction
Digital TV (DTV) is a new technology for broadcasting TV signals. As its
name suggests, signals of TV programs are modulated and transmitted
digitally, providing higher picture and sound quality and additional
information (for example, interactive features and EPG (Electronic Program
Guide), depending on the services available in your area).
Currently there are several different kinds of digital TV broadcasting
standards being used around the world, including Satellite, Cable and
Terrestrial standards. The main digital TV broadcasting standards that are
currently being developed and adopted are shown below:
Area/country
Europe
United States
Japan
The DVB (Digital Video Broadcasting) standards are used by most of the
European countries as well as Taiwan as their digital TV broadcasting
standards. For latest updates about digital TV development and services in
Taiwan, please visit: http://www.dtvc.org.tw
This DTV tuner box complies with the DVB-T terrestrial digital TV
broadcasting standard. With this DTV tuner box installed and available DTV
signal connected, you can use your display to view digital TV programs and
listen to digital radio broadcasts.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter problems, please refer to the troubleshooting tips below. If
the problem still persists, please contact the service center for help.
SymptomPossible Cause
English
No channels, or only few
channels are scanned and
stored.
There are "grids" in pictures
and sometimes the motion
freezes.
• Check the aerial antenna connection. Make
sure that it is correctly and firmly
connected to the DTV tuner box.
• Not all digital TV channels are available in
your area. Please refer to "Coverage of
digital TV signals" on page 1 to check the
digital TV signal coverage in your area.
• The signal can be too weak to be scanned
and stored. Have a professional antenna
technician re-orient or re-locate the aerial
antenna, or use a signal amplifier to
strengthen signal reception.
• Signal reception may be too weak for the
pictures to be displayed.
• The signal may be too strong. If a signal
amplifier is used, try lowering the signal
strength to an appropriate level.
• There may be interference from other
devices, for example, a hair dryer or air
conditioner. Turn off these devices
temporarily and see if the problem can be
solved.
