Welcome to the world of Digital TV
Welcome to the world of Digital TV
All se t top boxes (STB) have been tested in the factory for proper operation. In case yo u
experience any problems, please follow these simple step s to troubleshoot your proble ms.
Please make su re your TV and STB are plugged in and powered up, and that the STB is properly
connected to yo ur TV by either a RF cable or a A/V cable se t (red white yellow connectors on
each end) following the guideline below. Don't forget to properly insert batteries into the remo te
control u nit.
Connection option RF:
The STB can be operated in RF mode to connect to your TV. In this case the RF-OUT conn ector
of the STB conn ects to your An ten na Input on your TV. Your TV must be tuned to either channel
3 or 4 and the STB need s to be set to the corresponding channel selected on theback of the STB
by utilizing the small slide switch.
Connection option A/V:
If you TV is equipped with an A/V input, sometimes referred to as AV1 or AVin, Then you ma y want
to choose the A/V connection for a be tter quality picture. A RF connection as described above has
some inh erent limitation and a somewhat lower quality than A/V.
Please make yo ur connection before turning on your devices and plug in the yellow terminated
cable to the AV-in on your TV and the AV-out on the STB. Similarly, conne ct the red and white
te rminated cable to the corresponding Audio-in on your TV and Au dio-ou t on the STB.
Once a connection utilizing option RF or option A/V is mad e turn on your TV first and then your
STB. The STB is turned on by pressin g the power button on the front, or usin g the remote, power
up the STB. You should see a logo come up on your TV as the STB turns on.
Since channel programing is different in various regions, you must set up your set top box with
your channels b y using the auto scan fea ture.
Make sure a suitable antenna is connected to the antenna input, la beled as RF-In on the STB,
and a fter turning on your TV and STB, press the Menu b utton on your remote . Use the cursor
keys around the OK bu tton to move th e highlighted field to Channe l-Scan and press OK. You
may need to reorient your antenna to achieve best results. If you have an external a ntenna, it
may have already been oriented such that it point to the transmitter stations.
To help in orienting your antenna, a signal strength indicator can b e turned on in the STB. Use
th e menu bu tton and select signal strength o r signa l qu ality item to display a signal quality bar
on the scree n.
Although digital TV will give a very clear picture when a signal is received in sufficient strength, a
weak sig nal will result in dropouts or no pictu re at all. Analog stations would just be received with
noise in the sound and snow in the picture, Digital transmissions will drop out or have large blocks
of images missings if the RF signal is of insufficient strength or quality. Reorienting your antenna
or getting a better quality antenna may solve this problem. Some experimenting may be required
to obtain the best results.
Than k you for choo sing a Tivax Se t Top Box and enjoy the new world of Digital Te levision.

parte posteriora de l STB utilizando el interruptor pe queńo deslizante.
Opción de conexión A/V:
Si le TV equipan de una en trada de A/V, designada a veces AV1 o AVin, después usted puede
desear e legir la conexión de A/V para una imagen de mejor calidad. Una conexión d el RF como
se describe anteriormente tien e una cierta limitació n inherente y u n poco menor de calidad que
A/V.
Por favor jaga su conexión antes de e ncender e n sus dispositivos y conecte el cable terminado
amarillo al AV-in de su TV y AV-out en el STB. Parecidamente, conecte el cab le termina do rojo y
blanco con el Audio-in e n su TV y Audio-out e n el STB correspondientemente.
Una vez que una conexión utiliza la opción d e RF o la opció n A/V se ence nder su TV prime ro y
usted es su STB. El STB es encen dnido presionand o el botón de la energķa en el frente, o con el
control remoto, enciend a el STB. Usted debe ve r un logo q ue apa rece en su TV mie ntras que e l
STB se enciende.
Puesto que la programación del canal es diferente en varias regiones, usted debe a justar su caja
encima d el televisor con sus canales usando la caracterķstica de auto exploración.
Aseg urece de que una antena conveniente esté conectada con la entrada de la antena,
etiquetada como RF-in en el STB, y después de encender su TV y STB, presione el botón del
menś en su control remoto. Utilice las teclas de cursor alrededor del botón OK para mover el
camp o destacado a Canal-Explorar y presione OK. Usted puede necesitar reorientar su antena
para alcanzar los mejo res resultados. Si usted tiene una antena externa, puede ya hab er sido
orien tado tales que él punto a las estaciones del transmisor.
Para ayudar en la orientación de su antena, un indicador de la intensidad de la seńal se puede
encende r en el STB. Utilice el botón del menś y seleccione la intensidad de la seńal o seńale
el artķculo de la calidad para demostrar una barra d e la ca lidad de la seńal en la pantalla.
Aunque la TV digital darį una imagen muy cla ra cuando una se ńal se recibe en suficiente
intensidad, una seńal débil causara salidas o sin imagen. Las esta ciones anįlogas acaban de
ser recib idas co n ruido en el sonido y la n ieve en el cuadro, las transmisiones Digitales se
pierd en o tienen bloques grandes de las imįgenes que faltan si la seńal del RF e s de intensida d o
de calidad debil.
Reorientando su antena o conseguir una antena de una me jor calidad puede soluciona r este
problema. Algunos que encuentra n pued en requerir para obtener los mejores re sultados.
Gracias por elegir una caja encima de l televisorTiva x y disfrute del mundo n uevo de la televisión

Question #4: Do I need an antenna to receive FREE Dig ital television signals?
Answer: Yes. Digital TV is just like old-fashioned Analog TV, only better.
Yo u still need an a ntenna to get the signal. Just about any antenna wi ll do,
but an ant enna de signed f or Digita l TV is b etter. While so me antennas are
better than others, it also depends on whe re you live. If you cann ot receive

important as your Tivax will not work.
Ques tion # 5: Ho w do I test my TV to see if I can use my Tiva x?
Answer: This is very ea sy. Simply disconnect your An alog TV from yo ur cable
o r satellite receiver. Connect t he antenna to your Analog TV. If you can

That's a not her specia l feature of Digital TV. It's BETTER! Digita l TV signals
d on't ha ve the same problems Analog TV sig nals d o. T ha t's why this n ew
st and ard is so mu ch better!

OK. Yo u've now tested your Analog TV a nd de mo nstrate d you can get FREE TV
signals without cable of sate llite. Now get ready …you are abou t to discover the
wonderful world of FREE Digital T V!
Before we get st arted, here are a few easy technica l terms you will need to know:
What is Ana log Tel evision?
Until recen tly, virtually all TVs in the USA we re de signed fo r Ana log Television.
Analo g TV signals we re de signe d in the 19 40s, long be fo re computer technology
existed . Analog TV is based o n an old standard called NTSC . Compared to Digital
TV signa ls, t he An alo g picture is f uzzy and very inferior to Digital TV. Th is is why
the US Government decided to t urn off Analog TV signals in 200 9.
Analo g TVs ca nnot re ceive Digital TV sig nals. There are o nly 3 ways to see digital
TV signa ls on your Analo g TV:
1 . You must have a Digita l TV set . Your Analog TV cann ot receive th e
amazing wor ld o f digital t elevision
2 . You must have a Digita l TV tune r. Tivax is a Digital TV tuner.
3 . You must pay for cabl e or satellite (re member … cab le a nd satellite will not
show you man y of the FREE signals yo u can receive with your Tivax).
What is Digital Television?
This is th e new broad cas ting standard. Digital TV signals are based on a new
standard called ATSC. In early 200 9, all Analog TV signals will be tur ned off .
This is Fed eral Law. Under the new Federal Law, cable and satellite may not be
required to provide you access t o all the FREE digit al signals. Eventually, you
will get some of these signals, but n o one knows for sur e when this will happen.
It could be many more years bef ore cable or satellite decid e to give you access
to all FREE Digital TV sig nals.
Digital Televisio n is very exciting and offers too many features to be listed here.
However, your Tivax Set Top Digit al Re ceiver gives you the ability to enjoy mo st
of these ad vantages on your Analog TV set!

High Definition Television
The High Definition Digital TV is similar to a co mput er da ta s ignal. It is also called
HDTV. In othe r words, it is very sophisticated and can do man y more things. The
broadcast station can do more interesting thin gs with a Digital T V signal, such as
broadcast High Definition television. This is a very sup erior pictu re .
You r Tiva x will e asil y decode the HDTV sig nal. You will b e able to watch HDTV on
your Analo g TV. While you will NOT see the pict ure in its true High Definition format
(o nly exp ensive High Definitio n TV sets can do t his), you will b e very surprised with
the exc ellent picture qualit y.
The Digital TV sig nal is very powerful. A broadcaster can do ma ny t hings with the
Digital Television signa l. So metimes, when they want t o show y ou a ve ry high
qualit y picture , they will transmit t he program in Hig h Defin itio n. When this
happens, you will only get ONE Digital Televisio n signa l at that moment in time.
A goo d example when this happens if d ur ing Prime Time (8 p m to 11 pm). Footb all
and base ball games are commonly transmitt ed in High Definition.
Multicast TV Signals
The Digital TV signal is very powerful. A broadcaster can also choose to show
you more than one TV signal on the same frequency. (Analog TV cannot do this!)
A broadcaster can provide FOUR or more excellent quality signals AT THE SAME
TIME! This is called “ multicasting ” . Tivax can decode this signal for you! A
good example is during Day Time. Imagine signal #1 is dedicated to a soap opera,
signal #2 is dedicated to a documentary, signal #3 is dedicated to a talk show and
signal #4 is dedicated to a medical program. Only Digital TV can do this and Tivax
can decode this for you!
Standard Definition Television
This refers to a TV picture that is NOT High Definition. When the broadcaster
wants to show you more than one signal, they refer to this as Standard Definition
(as opposed to HDTV). Standard Definition TV is also called SDTV.
So. Are you ready to get started?

How to Receive the Best Digital TV Signal with Your Ante nna
In this section we'll show you t he following:
1.How t o find Digital TV channels in your area
2.How t o se lect the best an te nna for your Tivax
3.How t o scan and store Digita l TV ch annels wit h yo ur Tivax
How to find Digital TV channels in your area
The number of Digital TV channels varies greatly within each local area, so it is
best to look up your available channels by visiting special web sites, such as:
www.titantv.com
www.dtv.gov
www.tvguide.com
In addition, you can also find excellent local information from performing searches
on the internet.
Due to the proliferation of DTV channels, it is difficult to get the latest information
from newspapers or other printed sources.
In addition, the number of channels you receive depends on your physical location,
your antenna and the location of the broadcast antenna. Broadcast television
signals are “l ine of sight ” , which means the best signals are received by pointing
directly at transmitter. Buildings, mountains and other obstructions will affect the
quality of the signal you receive.
Selecting Your Antenna
After you have determined the available channels in your area, you will need to
select an antenna. The mini-antenna provided with your Tivax will work in most
cases, but it may not be your best option, depending on your location.
Q. Can I use my existing indoor antenna?
A. Yes, but it may not give you the best results. Most likely, your existing antenna
was designed for analog television and is not designed specifically for DTV. If you
get good results, great! (Be sure you connect the antenna to your Tivax.)
Q. Can I use my existing outdoor antenna?
A. Yes. This will be a much better antenna and provide you with a better DTV
signal. (Be sure you connect the antenna to your Tivax.)
Q. Do I need to upgrade my antenna?
A. If you are not pleased with the results, then this is recommended. There are
many new antennas designed for DTV and are available at most retail electronic
and other stores where televisions are sold. If your antenna provides a fair signal,
upgrading to a better quality DTV-designed antenna should help. Remember to
point the antenna in the proper direction to receive the strongest signal. Your local
retail center can provide the best advice to receive the strongest DTV signal.
Scanning & Storing DTV Channels with Your Tivax
After installing the antenna, point it towards the DTV broadcast transmitter or where
there are the largest number of DTV stations. Now you can scan for DTV channels
and store them. More information on how to scan channels is available in later parts
of the manual.

1.3 Connecting The Digital Converter Box
The following diagrams are of typical configurations only, and may differ slightly
to your existing external equipment. If you are unsure how to connect to your
Digital Converter Box, always consult your manufacturer's user manual supplied
with your equipment.
1.3.1 Connecting Antennas
This section tells how to connect an indoor or outdoor antenna to your Digital
Converter Box. You may need a 75Ω adaptor or a combiner.
NOTES:
A. If your antenna has separate leads for VHF/UHF signals, you will need
to purchase a combiner to combine it before connect to the receiver.
B.The Digital Converter Box can receive DTV signals in the event that a local cable
provider is passing 8VSB through on their system. (8VSB is the RF modulation
format utilized by the DTV(ATSC) digital television standard to transmit digital
bits over the airwaves to the home consumer.)
C. When Receiving Digital Cable Signal : If your cable service signal does not
comply with the ATSC requirement, this product may not operate properly.

5. Glos sary
ATSC:
“Advanced Television Systems Committee.” Formed to establish technical
standards for U.S. advanced television systems. Also, the name given to the
8-VSB transmission standard itself.
NTSC:
"National Television Systems Committee" and the name of the current analog
transmission standard used in the U.S., which the committee created in 1953.
Analog TV:
Analog technology has been in use for the past 50 years to transmit conventional
TV signals to consumers. "Standard" television broadcasts in analog TV. Analog
signals vary continuously, creating fluctuations in color, brightness and quality.
Digital Television (DTV):
Digital TV is the umbrella term encompassing High-definition Television and
several other applications, including Standard Definition Television.
SDTV:
"Standard Definition Television." Digital formats that do not achieve the video
quality of HDTV, but are at least equal, or superior to, NTSC pictures. SDTV may
have either 4:3 or 16:9 aspect ratios, and it includes surround sound. Variations
of fps (frames per second), lines of resolution, and other factors of 480p and
480i make up the 12 SDTV formats in the ATSC standard.
HDTV:
"High-definition Television." This is the most superior video picture available in
Digital TV. In the U.S., the 1080i and 720p formats in a 16:9 aspect ratio are the
two acceptable HDTV formats. HDTV is a component of DTV.
Dolby Digital:
This is a digital surround sound technology used in movie theaters and upscale
home theater systems that enhances audio. Home theater components with this
technology work in conjunction with a "5.1-speaker" system (five speakers plus a
low-frequency subwoofer) to produce true-to-life audio that draws the listener
into the onscreen action. Six discreet audio channels are used: Left, Center,
Right, Left Rear (or side), Right Rear (or side), and a subwoofer -- LFE, "low
frequency effects" -- (considered the ". 1 " as it is limited in bandwidth).
Smart Antenna:
A smart antenna system combines multiple antenna elements with a signalprocessing capability to optimize its radiation and/or reception pattern
automatically in response to the signal environment.
