Chapter 1: Connections & Setup
To watch DTV off-air broadcasts on your monitor (using the HDTV Tuner):
For most RCA, GE or Proscan monitors or TVs:
Press TV on the remote control that came with your HDTV Tuner. Then press the INPUT button on the remote.
For brands other than RCA, GE or Proscan:
Consult your TV Owner's Manual.
If you cannot find your TV Owner's Manual, you will have to investigate. You might access the TV's video input channel by:
• pressing a button on the TV's remote control, the HDTV Tuner's remote control or on the front of the TV (see box below)
• finding it through the TV's menu system
• tuning directly to it by pressing a specific channel number (see box below)
• going through all channels in the list by pressing the channel up or down buttons on the TV (see box below)

Advanced Audio Connection: HDTV Tuner + Digital Audio Receiver
Cable: Either Optical or Coaxial Digital Audio
Use this connection to take advantage of Dolby Digital quality sound, when available.
Your HDTV Tuner's digital output jacks can output digital audio signals in either PCM or Dolby Digital format (depending on your
selection in the Sound setup menu; see page 28 for more information). These jacks are designed for connection to an external digital
audio receiver/decoder.
Older equipment, some of which is not fully compliant with IEC958, may not be compatible with Dolby Digital. If the digital audio
output is connected to a receiver that cannot decode Dolby Digital signals, set the Digital Audio Output setting in the Sound menu to
PCM (see page 28 for further details). Failure to do so could create a high noise level, causing damage to headphones, speakers, or your
hearing.
