A Magnavox digital-to-analog TV converter transforms broadcast television signals for playback on older TV sets. Coaxial cables connect the box to an antenna and to the TV with metal couplers on the end of each cable. The box is designed to tune stations automatically using the supplied remote control. If you have difficulty picking up stations or the box is not operating normally, try troubleshooting the unit before sending it off for repairs.
Instructions
1. Tighten the metal rings that connect the coaxial cables between the antenna, the Magnavox converter and your television. A loose connection can prevent the signal from getting through.
2. Set the TV to channel 3 if it isn't already.
3. Turn off the power to the converter box using the switch on the right side of the unit, then unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. Wait five minutes, then plug in and turn on the converter box. This resets the unit.
4. Press "Standby-On" on the Magnavox remote control.
5. Press the triangular up or down button to highlight "Autoscan," then press "OK" to reprogram the Magnavox with the available channels.
6. Use the Magnavox remote control, not the TV remote, to change channels.
