NOTE: the DtS860 requires the actual Rf Channel setting, not the virtual channel number. 

 Most broadcasters maintain their analog channel identity by utilizing the new digital channel’s PSIP (Program 

and System Information Protocol) feature. It may also be referred to as the “tune to” (NAB) or as a “virtual” 

channel. Digital TV’s along with digital demodulators such as Drake's DAV860 use the virtual channel number to 

tune to the particular program that in most cases is transmitted over a completely different channel number. This 

is not the case with the DTS860. To find the actual RF channel, use the following website: 

www.antennaweb.org  

    

[3] Two Digit Channel Display:  used to identify program channel. the decimal point will always be lit. for

channels above 99, the +100 LeD will be lit.

[4] One Digit Channel Display: indicates the current frequency/channel plan.

S = StD (CAtV)
i  =  iRC (CAtV)
H = HRC (CAtV)
A = off Air (Broadcast uHf/VHf)

[5] +100 LED:  for channels above 99, the +100 LeD will be lit.   for example, for standard CAtV channel

125 the +100 LeD will on and number 25 will display on the 2-digit display "S" on the 1-digit display.

[6] Lock LED:  Lights when set for QAm input mode.

NOTE: if the unit is not locked to the incoming channel, the LeD will flash.

[7] ENT button: must be pressed to confirm channel selection, Rf mode, and baud rate.
