Magnavox DTV Digital to Analog Converter

The Magnavox DTV Digital to Analog Converter enables older analog TVs to receive free over‑the‑air digital broadcasts using an ATSC tuner and RF connections. This compact converter box bridges modern digital broadcast signals and legacy analog televisions, providing a simple, low‑cost way to watch local over‑the‑air channels without replacing the TV. It includes an ATSC tuner, RF input and output for antenna and TV hookup, a trilingual on‑screen display for easy navigation, and a full accessory kit (remote, batteries, RF cable, and manual).

How does the Magnavox DTV converter connect to my TV and antenna?

Hookup is straightforward: connect your antenna to the converter’s RF In, then run RF Out to the analog TV’s antenna input. The box scans for available digital channels and maps them to the analog TV’s tuning so you can browse local broadcasts.

• RF In accepts your antenna coaxial cable for digital signal reception.
• RF Out sends the converted signal to the TV’s antenna/coax input.
• Automatic channel scan finds ATSC broadcast channels and populates the on‑screen guide.
• Trilingual on‑screen display (languages selectable) simplifies setup and channel selection.

What comes in the box and what do I need to start watching?

The package includes the converter, a Magnavox remote (model NA386UD), two AA batteries, an RF cable, and an owner’s manual — so you can set it up right away. You’ll only need an active over‑the‑air antenna and a TV with a coaxial antenna input to begin watching local digital channels.

• Included: Magnavox DTV Digital to Analog Converter and NA386UD remote.
• Accessories: two AA batteries, RF cable (WPZ0901TM002/WPZ0901TM005), owner’s manual (1VMN25977).
• Additional: an antenna and the TV’s antenna/coax input are required for operation.
• Plug, scan channels, and use the remote to change channels and access menus.

Which features control tuning and user interface on the converter?

The unit uses an ATSC tuner for receiving digital broadcasts and provides Channel Up/Down controls plus a trilingual on‑screen display for menu navigation. These features make channel scanning and daily use accessible to a variety of users and language preferences.

• ATSC tuner decodes current over‑the‑air digital television signals.
• Channel Up/Down keys on the unit or remote for simple channel changes.
• Trilingual on‑screen display supports multiple languages for menus and guides.
• RF pass‑through (RF Out) preserves a single coaxial run between antenna and TV.

Who is this for? This converter is designed for owners of analog televisions who want to continue using their existing set while receiving modern digital broadcast channels. It’s ideal for households with older TVs in kitchens, bedrooms, garages, or second homes where replacing the television isn’t practical. Installers and technicians who need a compact ATSC solution for testing or retrofitting legacy equipment will also find it useful. Technical note: the box supports digital over‑the‑air broadcasts through an ATSC tuner and outputs a converted analog RF signal; it does not provide streaming or internet services. For best reception, pair the converter with a properly positioned antenna and perform the channel scan after installation.
