Setting the DTV

To Set the DTV

Enter the channel number followed by “-1.” For example, enter “11-1” for the digital channel 11. If available, the digital channel appears. Some digital stations provide multiple broadcasts on a single channel. To access these directly, enter higher numbers after the channel number. Take “11-2” “11-3” for example. If available, these digital channels appear.

Using the External Antenna

When the picture is not clear with the built-in rod antenna, try placing your TV near a window or connecting an external antenna to the TV for improve reception. If you are in a weak TV signal area, or are inside a concrete building, you might need an external antenna to improve reception. Connect the external antenna to the RF IN jack on the right side of the TV. Follow the install steps below:

Diagram I

Screw the rod antenna loose from the RF IN jack.

Diagram II

Screw the rod antenna onto the top jack of the magnet pedestal.

Diagram III

Screw the metal plug of the external antenna onto the RF IN jack on the TV.

Diagram IV

Place the magnet pedestal vertically; pull the rod antenna to scan channels.

Note: Based on the current ATSC standards, mobile reception of digital stations are practically impossible especially when the TV is moving or on a moving surface or vehicle. Picture on the screen tends to garble up or lose signal indefinitely. To avoid this issue, try not to move the TV around when watching TV programs.

1. Press INPUT button and select AV IN mode.
2. Connect the AV cable plugs to the out jack of AV Device as below:

Yellow plug: Connect to the VIDEO OUT jack on the AV Device.

Axion TV- Great product

Review Date: October 9, 2009

Reviewer: DC,

Great picture and sound. Finding the right place for the antenna was tricky. It seems metal objects interfere with reception, including the corners of walls. I keep it plugged in, in the kitchen to catch the news in the morning or while making dinner, so I have not tested the battery life yet. 5 months and I am very happpy.

Great Little TV

Review Date: February 1, 2010

Reviewer: Ct Jazzman,

Picture quality is excellent. I am using the included add-on antenna which gives me 17 digital broadcast stations. Audio is fair, but didn't expect it to be great due to the size of the speakers. However, it has a clear sound. Changing channels is fairly easy using the + or - channels on remote. But, if wanting to go to a specific channel it is a little tricky as you have to insert channel number plus a hyphen plus a one (ex. 30-1) for channel 30. Overall, very pleased with unit. Have been using it since December and have had no problems. I don't believe it is really suitable as a portable because with digital transmissions the unit cannot be moved around. A couple of inches one way or the other and you can lose the station. But that's not a fault of the unit, that's the way digital transmissions work. Have used it on battery only but not enough to know how long battery lasts before it needs recharging.

Review Date: December 28, 2009

Reviewer: B. Lawrie, Cerritos, CA USA

This is a great handheld LCD TV with many cool features. The control buttons are conveniently located, well marked and easy to read, the picture is crystal clear, it sounds good, and it has a long battery life. I really like it! The only complaint I have is that the antenna is separate from the TV, has a small base, and tips over easily.

Good quality TV

Review Date: October 23, 2009

Reviewer: P. Schoolik, Burlington, NJ

The picture is very good, and the sound is also. The reception is good, but dislike the interferences that accrue (car passing by or sitting running next to my vehicle). I found out the antenna gives good reception. Actually went out and bought another antenna (which was suppose to be one of the best) and the antenna that came with this product was better. The product case is very slippery, should have some type of handle to carry it (easily can slip out of your hands when caring it around).

Quick and convenient replacement

Review Date: January 26, 2010

Reviewer: C. Edsell,

This was result of purchase of 2 previously, but one had the power button broken. Amazon replaced the defective one very conveniently and quickly. The product is light weight, user friendly and we are able to get many more channels that I expected and the quality is excellent. Highly recommend this product for any one who needs a portable, battery operated television.
