Step 1: Connect the cable to the DTA

Turn off the TV.
Unscrew the coax cable from your TV (or VCR), leaving the other end connected to the wall outlet. Sometimes this cable may come directly through a small hole in the wall or floor, with no outlet.
Connect the end you just unscrewed onto the back of the adapter, using the CABLE IN connection. There should now be a wire from your wall to the adapter.

Your incoming coax cable should look something like this. Color may vary, but it will be a cable that screws onto the connection.

Step 2: Connect the adapter to your TV

If your TV has an HDMI port, use the HDMI cable included in your kit to connect the adapter to the TV. (See below)
If your TV does not have an HDMI port, use the included coax cable to connect the adapter to the TV. Attach the new cable from the TO TV connection on the place on your TV where you first disconnected the cable wire in step 1.
Two cables are included in your kit, but you will only need to use the one which matches your TV type. Do not connect both cables.

This is an HDMI cable. This is the connection type for most flat screen or HDTVs.

Your included coax cable may have a blue tip, to make it easier to screw on the cable.

Step 3: Plug in the adapter

Connect the enclosed power adapter to the back of the adapter, and plug into an electrical outlet.

Step 4: Turn on the TV

Turn on your TV. If you used an HDMI cord (for most flat screen or HDTVs) then change the input on your TV to HDMI. Specific instruction may vary depending on your TV, but this is usually done using the remote that came with your TV, by pushing a button labeled INPUT or SOURCE until the screen indicates HDMI. If you have multiple HDMI ports on your TV, make sure your screen is set to the same HDMI port as the one used to connect the adapter.
If you connected with the coax cable, make sure the switch on the back of the adapter is set to CH3 (switch to the left).
Then turn your TV to channel 3. If the screen remains black, flip the switch to the right for CH4, and turn your TV to channel 4 to match.

Step 5: Program the remote control

READ THIS STEP FULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING
Insert the enclosed batteries into the remote.
Point remote at the adapter.
Press and hold the SETUP button until red light on remote blinks twice.
Release SETUP button.
Press and release MENU button on remote. Light should begin blinking.
A 3-digit code will appear on your TV screen. Quickly type that code into the remote. You have approximately 5 seconds to enter the code. If you do not enter the code in time, please wait for the message to disappear, and repeat this step from the beginning.

Step 6: To control TV volume with new remote

The TV and the adapter have separate volume settings. If you have audio issues, please make sure that both the adapter, and the TV volume is set to acceptable levels. You may use the new remote to switch back and forth to be able to control either device.
Press and hold SETUP button until light blinks twice.
Press VOLUME UP. The light will blink twice more.
The VOLUME UP button now controls the TVs volume.

To switch back to adapter's volume control

Press and hold SETUP button until light blinks twice.
Press MUTE. The light will blink four times.
The VOLUME UP button now controls the volume on the adapter.

After the first time connecting the adapter to the cable and plugging it in, be sure to allow up to 20 minutes for all necessary software to download.

On a HDTV, try disconnecting the HDMI cable and switching the ends.

THE ADAPTER WILL NOT TURN ON

Make sure the remote control is in adapter mode
