About Sansonic FT-300A Digital To Analog TV Converter Box
From the Manufacturer Manufacturer's Description (January 29, 2009) Enjoy an easy transition from analog to digital TV broadcasts with the Sansonic FT-300A Digital Converter Box, which enables an older TV not connected to cable or satellite to receive and display digital TV programming (ATSC). This converter box is eligible for the TV Converter Box Coupon Program. It supports programming and system information in both 4:3 (standard definition) and 16:9 (widescreen, digital) aspect ratios to fit any TV. It also includes a remote control that features mute, sleep, and V-Chip controls. The front (top) and back (bottom) of the Sansonic FT-300A digital converter box. Features Receives over-the-air (terrestrial) channels 2 through 69 Input: RF cable Output: RF cable or composite video (yellow plug) and audio (red and white plugs) After installation Supports channel display, closed captioning, and V-Chip parental controls Displays antenna level and signal quality On-screen display languages: English, French, Spanish Coupon-eligible converter box (CECB) Instructions Disconnect your existing antenna by pulling or unscrewing the coaxial (RF) cable from the "antenna in" jack on the back of your TV. Connect the coaxial (RF) cable to the "antenna in" jack on the back of the converter box. Do one of the following: Use the supplied coaxial cable to connect the "antenna out" jack on the converter to the "antenna in" jack on the back of your TV. Using this method, you will view digital TV broadcasts on either channel 3 or 4 (selected during initial setup of the converter box). If your TV (or VCR) is equipped with the corresponding inputs, you can use an optional AV composite cable (yellow video plug; red and white audio plugs) to connect the "AV out" jacks on the converter to the "AV in" jacks on the back of your TV. Using this method, you will view digital TV broadcasts by selecting your TV's AV mode. Plug in the converter box power cable, and turn on your TV. Press the Channel Scan (CH SCAN) button on the remote to find available channels in your area (which will be memorized by the converter box). Note: If your antenna connects to your set via a thin, flat wire hooked to a pair of screw terminals instead of a threaded coaxial cable input, you will need to use an inexpensive antenna adaptor. What's in the Box Converter box, remote control (with AAA batteries), AC adapter, RF cable, printed user manual Tech Talk Aspect ratio: The aspect ratio refers to the shape of the video image. Standard-definition television broadcasts have a 4:3 aspect ratio, which is almost square in appearance. Many digital TV broadcasts have a 16:9 aspect ratio, which is widescreen and appears rectangular, looking more like a movie screen and filling more of the viewer's field of vision for a more lifelike viewing experience. Even after the transition to the ATSC digital TV broadcasts after February 17, 2009, some programming (especially older shows) will still be viewed in the 4:3 aspect ratio. ATSC tuner: Often called an ATSC receiver or HDTV tuner, allows reception of digital television (DTV) signals broadcast over-the-air by TV stations. May be integrated into a television, VCR, digital video recorder, or set-top box. Frequently Asked Questions How do I know if I have an analog or a digital TV? What you need to know is whether your TV set has something called a "digital tuner" already built in. If it does, your TV set will receive digital signals. The best way to determine whether your TV set has a digital tuner built in is to consult your owner's manual. If you bought your TV set before 1998, it probably doesn't have a digital tuner at all. Almost every TV set made before 1998 was a traditional "analog" set. If you bought a big-screen, projection TV between 1998 and 2004, it may have a built-in digital tuner inside. But chances aren't great. If you purchased a new TV set since 2004, your chances of having a built-in digital tuner improve dramatically. Starting
