Warning and Attention Symbols
You must be aware of safety when you install and use this system. This User Guide
provides various procedures. If you do some of these procedures carelessly, you could
injure or kill yourself or damage equipment or property. Some other procedures require
special attention.
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is
intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage”
within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to
constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the
user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing)
instructions in the literature accompanying the apparatus.
The class II equipment symbol means that the equipment has additional
insulation and does not need to be grounded.
For Your Safety
Do not try to open the case of the power adapter or receiver. There is risk of
electrical shock, which may cause damage to the apparatus and/or personal
injury or death to you. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Opening
the case or making unauthorized changes will void the warranty.
Warning: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this
apparatus to rain or moisture.

Note: These instructions assume you already have an over-the-air antenna
installed. If you need help choosing or installing an over-the-air antenna, refer to
www.antennaweb.org or your local retailer.
Connecting Your TR-40CRA to Your TV
Important Safety Note: Do not connect your TV or your TR-40CRA
converter to a power supply until after you have properly connected all
of the cables using the following instructions.
TR-40CRA Back Panel Connections
1 On the back of your TV, locate the ANTENNA INconnection, which connects
your TV to your over-the-air antenna. This connection may be labeled
OVER-THE-AIR ANTENNA IN, CABLE IN, COAX IN, or another name. Refer to
your TV’s User Guide for help locating this connection.
2 Disconnect the coaxial cable from your TV’s ANTENNA INconnection.
Note: If your TV uses twin-lead (300 ohm) connections, you will need to
obtain and install a 75 ohm to 300 ohm converter on your TV. This
converter can be found at most consumer electronics stores.
3 Look at the back of the TR-40CRA, and locate the OVER-THE-AIR ANTENNA
INconnection (refer to image above). Connect the coaxial cable from
step 2 to the OVER-THE-AIR ANTENNA INconnection on the TR-40CRA. Do
not use a wrench to tighten this connection.
Note: The TR-40CRA includes only a digital over-the-air tuner. If channels
in your area are still broadcasting analog signals, you can view these
channels by pressing the ANALOG PASS-THROUGH button on the TR-
40CRA remote, and then changing channels using the TV’s remote control.
4 Determine the connection type you’ll use to connect your converter to your
TV. The TV SET OUT connection uses a coaxial cable to connect to a TV’s
ANTENNA INconnection, and carries video and mono audio on RF channels
3 or 4 (step 5). Alternatively, if your TV has RCA connectors for audio and
video, you can use RCA cables to connect from the AUDIO/VIDEO
connection (RCA-type) on your converter to your TV’s video input (go to
step 6).

5 To connect your TR-40CRA converter to your TV using a coaxial cable:
a Connect one end of the coaxial cable to the TV’s ANTENNA INconnection.
b Connect the other end of the coaxial cable to the TV SET OUT connection
on your TR-40CRA converter.
6 To connect your TR-40CRA converter to your TV using composite cables
(red, white, and yellow RCA-type).
a Connect the composite cables to the TV’s RCA-type composite input.
b Connect the other end of the cables to the AUDIO/VIDEO connections on
your TR-40CRA converter.
7 Plug the TR-40CRA power adapter into the power adapter plug on the back
of your TR-40CRA converter. Plug the other end into an electrical outlet.
Make sure your TV also is plugged in to power.
Using the Installation Wizard
8 Install the two included AAA batteries in the TR-40CRA remote control. Be
sure to follow the battery installation diagram printed on the remote control.
9 Turn on your TV using the TV’s remote control or front panel button.
10 Change your TV to the correct channel or input to view your TR-40CRA.
a If your TV is connected to your TR-40CRA converter using the coaxial
connection (step 5), set the TV to channel 3, which is the default output
channel for the TR-40CRA.
Note: If you have a local or cable channel that broadcasts on channel 3,
you can change the output setting for your TR-40CRA converter to
channel 4 during the Installation Wizard, described below.
b If your TV is connected using the RCA-type connection (step 6), you will
need to set the TV to the correct video input or source. Most TV remote
controls have a VIDEO, INPUT, or SOURCE button that you can use to
change the TV’s video input or source. Refer to your TV’s user guide for
additional help changing the TV’s input or source.
11 The first time your
converter turns on, an
Installation Wizard screen
appears and guides you
through the setup process.
The Installation Wizard
scans for local digital over-
the-air channels, and helps
you set up the time zone
and TV display settings.

remote control to choose the highlighted
(orange) on-screen option. To highlight other
options, use the ARROW buttons.
13 Select Continue to begin the Wizard.
14 The Installation Wizard scans for local digital
over-the-air channels.
15 After the channel scan completes, you will be taken to the Set Time Zone
screen. Use the UP and DOWN ARROW buttons to find your time zone
and to set if your area follows Daylight Savings time. Select Next once
you’ve made these settings and to go to the next step.
16 The Channel 3-4 Setup screen is used to change the output channel of the
TV SET OUT connection on your TR-40CRA converter. The channel setting
on the Channel 3-4 Setup screen must match your TV’s channel. If you
have a local or cable channel that broadcasts on channel 3, be sure to
change this setting to channel 4. If you do this, you will also need to change
your TV channel to 4. Select Next.
17 Use the ARROWS or NUMBER PAD to enter your ZIP code. Select Next.
18 The TR-40CRA begins to
download the Program
Guide information. This
takes a few minutes. After
the Program Guide has
downloaded, the TR-40CRA
will exit out to a channel.
19 Congratulations! Your
converter is now installed
and ready to use! To start
watching TV, press either
the UP or DOWN ARROW buttons on the remote control to change
channels, or enter the channel number using the NUMBER PAD.
Note: Some broadcasters choose to send several channels in their
broadcast range rather than just a single channel. These additional
channels are referred to as sub-channels, and are identified by a dash and
then a number (for example, channel 9-2 is a sub-channel of channel 9). To
change to a sub-channel, enter “0” before entering the channel number.
For example, to change to channel 9-2, enter “0092” on the NUMBER PAD.
