Digital Reciever Set-up
Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) provides over the air audio transmission of three regional broadcasts. For over the air reception, Aftersight provides digital receivers on loan at no cost to listeners. Digital receivers work best for individuals who are technology averse. Program guides are available in print or online under the About menu.
For best results, locate the digital receiver and antenna near a window.
A digital receiver kit includes:
- 1 preassembled antenna
- 1 digital receiver
NOTE: Do not plug the power cord into the wall outlet until STEP 4.
STEP 1: Check to make sure the receiver’s dip switch (circled at left) is set for the correct region.
Region Dip Switch Settings:
Northern Colorado 2379
Southern Colorado 479
Western Colorado 2579
STEP 2: Connect the antenna (if there is access to a rooftop antenna, you may choose to connect to it instead). On the back of the digital receiver, from left to right, there are 2 threaded cable receptacles and 3 RF connector jacks. The antenna plugs into the second threaded cable receptacle, circled in the following photo.
STEP 3: On the front of the receiver, you will find the on/off/volume control knob, arrow pointing below. Before proceeding, turn the knob clockwise to turn the receiver on.
STEP 4: Plug the power cord into an electrical outlet. The receiver will scan with a ticking sound for 3-5 minutes.
NOTE: After proper setup, subsequent scans will take only 12 seconds.
Listen to the signal for a minute or so to confirm that it is the Aftersight broadcast.
CAUTION: Notify listener to turn receiver off if not listening to avoid malfunction due to overheating.
