Front and Back Panels
Factory default settings allow HDb2500/2600-DT series
modulators to broadcast up to 4HD sources on RF
channels 2, 3, 5, and 6 for reception at connected HDTVs.
We recommend using the most updated version of
rmware. You can nd the latest version on the Support
section of our website.
Beginning setup
1. Apply power.
2. Use the A/V cable to connect the mini-DIN connector
to the A/V Output on your H25 Receiver and the DIN
connector to the AV Input on the HDbridge unit.
Tuning your channel at the HDTV (Auto
Scan)
1. Connect the Coaxial Output of the HDbridge unit to your
RF network. If the RF power for your network is too high,
you will observe video breakup.
2. Specify Cable (not Air or
Antenna) setting in your TV
menu.
3. Enter the RF number to tune
directly to the channel. (Refer
to the Default Channel Lineup
for default information.)
If you cannot tune directly to
the channel at this point, it is
because most TVs will require
you to run a full Auto Scan.
4. Run the Auto Scan through the menu system of your
HDTV to nd the channels.
