SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Please review the following safety precautions. If this is the first time using this model of terrestrial TV
tuner, then read this manual before installing or using the tuner. If the tuner is not functioning properly,
please contact your local distributor or system installer.
The lightning symbol in the triangle is used to alert you to the presence of dangerous voltage
inside the tuner that may be sufficient to constitute a risk of electric shock to anyone opening the
case. It is also used to indicate improper installation or handling of the tuner that could damage
the electrical system in the tuner or in other equipment attached to the tuner.
The exclamation point in the triangle is used to alert you to important operating and maintenance
instructions. Failure to follow these instructions could result in injury to you or damage to the
tuner.
Be careful with electricity:
zPower outlet: To prevent electric shock, be sure the electrical plug used on the tuner’s power cord matches
the electrical outlet used to supply power to the tuner.
zPower cord: Be sure the power cord is routed so that it will not be stepped on or pinched by heavy items.
zPower overloading: Avoid overloading electrical outlets or extension cords which otherwise could result in
electric shock or fire.
zLightning: For protection from lightning or when the tuner is left unattended for a long period, disconnect it
from the power source.
zProtect other equipment: Unplug the tuner before connecting any other equipment, especially the TV
antenna. Connect all equipment to the tuner before plugging in any power cords to the power source.
zPower line: Be sure your TV antenna is not located near overhead power lines, or where it might fall into any
power lines. Also be careful to avoid touching any such power lines when installing the TV antenna.
zAntenna Grounding: Be sure that the antenna is grounded to provide protection from lightning and build-up of
static electricity. Also, be sure that the power has been turned off before connecting any of the RF connectors.
Also follow these precautions:
zVentilation: Do not block the ventilation slots on the tuner or place any heavy object on top of it.
Blocking the air flow could damage the tuner. Arrange components so that air can flow freely around the tuner.
Ensure that there is adequate ventilation if the tuner is placed in a stand. Put the tuner in a properly ventilated
area, away from direct sunlight or any source of heat.
zOverheating: Avoid stacking the tuner on top of a hot component such as a power amplifier.
zRisk of Fire: Do not place the tuner on top of any easily combustible material, such as carpet or fabric.
zProper Connections: Be sure all cables and equipment are connected to the tuner as described in this
manual.
zObject Entry: To avoid electric shock, never stick anything in the slots on the case or remove the cover.
zWater Exposure: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose the tuner to rain or moisture.
zKeep the tuner out of the reach of children or it may fall, causing injury or damage to the tuner.
zAlways disconnect the power cord from the power outlet when you are not using the tuner. This reduces your
risk of electric shocks or fire.
zAlways turn off the tuner, disconnect it from the power outlet, and unplug all other cables from before moving
the tuner. This reduces your risk of electric shocks or fire.

APPENDIX 1 DTV Channel Table Information
*Log on to the website http://www.antennaweb.org and select “Choose An Antenna”. Enter your address
and find the DTV stations airing the signal in your local area and then visit the local station websites for
program schedules. Usually the website names are the same as the station’s name. For example, DTV
station WCBS (channel 56) New York’s website is http://www.wcbs.com and KCET (UHF channel 59)
Los Angeles’s website is http://www.kcet.org.
However, the most accurate method for locating the local station’s website is through their parent
network. For example, to find WCBS New York, check the CBS website. You can also contact the
network service center for detailed information about their local DTV program package.
Note:
(a) Using the Antenna Web site, you can also get information about choosing the correct type of
antenna and the proper aiming guidelines.
(b) NAB (Association of Broadcasters) has updates on the local DTV stations in operation at
http://www.nab.org/Newsroom/Issues/digitaltv/DTVstations.asp
APPENDIX 2 RF System Guidelines
This section is a basic guideline based on the SCTE Digital Cable Network Standard. For optimal performance on a
cable system following the published standards will usually lead to the best results and the least headaches. More
detailed documents are available from the standards committees.
Analog and Digital Channel: RF Transmission Characteristics
1. RF Channel Spacing 6 MHz
2. RF Frequency Range 54 MHz to 864 MHz IRC/HRC/Standard Channel Plans.
3. Transit delay from headend to most distant customer < 0.800 msec (typically much less)
4. Carrier-to-noise ratio, C/(N+I), in a 6-MHz band where C/(N+I) includes the simultaneous presence of all additive
impairments in the 6-MHz channel bandwidth including CTB, CSO, other
discrete interference.
C/N (analog channels)
Not less than
27 dB for 64 QAM;
33 dB for 256 QAM;
43 dB for AM-VSB analog
5. CTB Not worse than -53 dBc referenced to inband carrier levels for analog channels.
6. CSO Not worse than -53 dBc referenced to inband carrier levels for analog channels.
7. Carrier-to-any other discrete interference (ingress) Not worse than -53 dBc
8. AM Hum Modulation Not greater than 3% p-p
9. Group Delay Variation < 0.25 µsec/MHz across the 6-MHz channel
10. Chroma / Luma Delay ≤170 ns (AM-VSB analog)
11. Phase Noise < -88 dB/Hz @ 10 kHz offset (relative to the center of QAM signal spectrum)

14
12. Maximum amplitude variation across the 6-MHz channel (digital channels)
Maximum amplitude variation across the 6-MHz channel (analog channels) < 5 dB p-p ≤4 dB p-p
13. Micro-reflections bound for dominant echo
-10 dB at < 0.5 µs
-15 dB at < 1.0 µs
-20 dB at < 1.5 µs
-30 dB at < 4.5 µs
Micro-reflections longer than 4.5 microseconds rarely occur in conventional cable television systems. Moreover very
low-level micro-reflections (e.g., -40dB) longer than 4.5 microseconds may not be measured reliably. Therefore,
microreflections longer than 4.5 microseconds shall be considered under item 4 (of this table) as a contributor to
C/(N+I)
14. Burst Noise Not longer than 25 µs at 10-Hz repetition rate
15. Carrier level at the terminal input
64 QAM: -15 dBmV to + 15 dBmV
256 QAM: -12 dBmV to +15 dBmV
Analog Visual Carrier (c):
0 dBmV to +15 dBmV
Analog Aural Carrier:
-10 dBc to –17 dBc
Nominal Relative Carrier Power Levels
Analog channel 0 dBc (reference level)
QAM FAT -5 ± 2 dBc
QPSK FDC -8 ± 5 dBc
QAM FAT -10 ± 2 dBc
