How to connect a digital converter box to analog TV-set

As is known, analogue television broadcasting in Baku city and Absheron Peninsula was ceased on October 31. And starting from November 1, Baku, Sumgait, and Absheron peninsula switched over to digital television broadcasting

Modern TV sets, including all TV sets manufactured since 2011, receive digital signals without any additional devices.

Decoders (Set-Top-Box) needed for TV sets that do not receive digital signals, can be obtained at electronic goods stores or post offices together with use specification.

No special antenna is required for receiving digital broadcast signals. Thus, TV programs in digital format can be viewed through an antenna designed for analog broadcasting.

The owners of TV sets that do not receive digital signals can buy a “NPR-4000T” digital converter box from an electronic goods store or post office in order to receive digital TV programs broadcast in the DVB-T standard.

- If there are only IN VIDEO (yellow) and R-AUDIO (red) or IN VIDEO (yellow) and L-AUDIO (white) inputs on the back of the TV-set, connect A/V cable only to these two inputs

- Connect the electric power cable of the digital converter box to 220 V electrical power network. If the red indicator on the front left side of the digital converter box lights up, push “POWER” button on the remote control to convert the TV-set to AV mode
