Hook Up A Evolution Digital To Analog Converter







Evolution manufactures converter boxes for transforming digital television signals into analog signals for processing on older TV sets. The boxes connect to the source signal and the TV with coaxial and composite audio/video cables, which have color-coded plugs for simplified setup. Following the conversion to digital TV, all older television sets must be wired to a converter box or digital tuner to receive programming. Evolution boxes make this conversion possible with a few quick cable connections.


Instructions


1. Attach the coaxial cable from the source signal, such as a satellite or cable TV subscription service, to the RF IN jack on the Evolution box. The coupler on the end of the cable turns clockwise on the threaded jack for a secure connection.


2. Check the back of the TV to see if it has composite A/V jacks, which will be three round holes clustered together and labeled audio and video. If the TV has composite jacks, skip to step 4. If the TV has only a coaxial jack, continue to step 3.


3. Connect a second coaxial cable from the RF OUT jack on the Evolution box to the RF IN jack on the back of the TV, tightening the couplers on both ends by hand. This completes the connection when using coaxial cables.


4. Use composite cables if the TV is equipped with composite jacks by inserting the color-coded yellow, white and red plugs into the Composite OUT jacks on the Evolution box, then plug the other ends into the TV's composite IN jacks. Use the yellow plug for the video connection. White and red connect to the left and right audio jacks.


5. Plug in the DC power plug to the back of the Evolution box and connect the electrical cable to a wall outlet.


6. Press the "Scan" button on the Evolution converter to program the box.
