Digital TV Facts

Digital TV offers a significantly different experience compared to older analog TV. When everything is set up correctly, digital TV provides a clear, ghost-free picture with highly saturated colors. However, it's possible to have a strong signal available and still not receive a picture at all. In contrast, old-fashioned analog TV would typically display a picture, though it might be full of static, blurry, or show multiple "ghost" images. Digital TV operates more like a light switch – it's either ON or OFF.

If, after the initial setup, you do not receive one or more of your favorite TV channels, try repositioning the external TV antenna to a different area and re-scan your TV. If a particular channel remains unavailable, consider using a stronger antenna or connecting the unit to cable TV and then performing a re-scan.

Enjoy AM/FM Radio

1. Select the band: Set the BAND switch to AM for AM frequencies (kHz) or FM for FM frequencies (MHz).
2. Tune to a station by turning the TUNING dial. Turn slowly as you approach the desired frequency, adjusting back and forth slightly to lock onto the strongest signal. The FM ST/PAIR indicator will light red when the tuner is locked onto an FM stereo broadcast.

Power on the unit. Set the FUNCTION switch to the TV/DVD/BT/AUX/HD-IN position. Press MODE/TV MENU to switch to BT mode. The FM ST/PAIR indicator will light up blue.

Before using a wireless device with Bluetooth, you must pair it with the system. Once paired, the system will automatically detect and connect to the device.

2. On your Bluetooth device, navigate to its Bluetooth settings menu.
3. Initiate a "search for devices" on your Bluetooth device. Select "EMERSON EDL-2870H" when it appears. If prompted, enter "0000" as the passkey.
4. Upon successful pairing, the system will emit a soft tone, and the FM ST/PAIR indicator will light a steady blue. The system will automatically connect to your Bluetooth device in the future, provided Bluetooth is enabled, the device is within range, and it's set to be discoverable.
5. Control playback from your Bluetooth device. Basic playback functions (play/pause, next, previous) can often be controlled by the system and its remote if your Bluetooth device supports this feature.

Note: Due to the variety of Bluetooth-enabled devices, specific instructions for all are not provided. Please consult your device manufacturer's instructions or website for more information on connecting with Bluetooth.
