How to set up digital television on a Haer TV

Checking digital broadcast support

If you decide to buy a model that supports digital broadcasting, then one of the main things is the characteristics of the television tuner, which is a component for the TV. The most common channels in Russia are DVB - T2, so first of all, check whether your tuner is capable of supporting this format.

The easiest way to determine support is to look at the instructions. Basically, this information is located in the channel settings block. You can also look up relevant information on the Internet. Just use reliable sites for this, preferably the official website of the manufacturer Hyer.

You can find out by eye whether DVB-T2 TV is supported by the presence of a connector, above which there will be the inscription “digital input”. The release date will also tell you. Haier models do not support digital TV if they were released before 2004, with the exception of a limited number of 42-inch models. After 2004, almost all models of this company support digital, but it is better to make sure that it receives a signal in the DVB-T2 format, which is the most modern and widespread.

“The more TV channels, the more there is nothing to watch”

With the appearance of a router in my sister’s apartment, the need arose to connect the old, but still vigorous plasma TV to the Internet. Since television receivers did not have the functionality required to work on the network in those ancient times, an external device was needed. The Haier DMA6000 set-top box was chosen for its compact size, good performance and favorable reviews from owners. And its main feature is a two-way remote control with a QWERTY keyboard and a gyroscope.

Our manufacturer is little-known, but it is a large Chinese company producing household appliances. Created in 1984 on the basis of a state enterprise. They have an informative website that supports a dozen languages.

On their website the DMA6000 is labeled as an Android Dongle

The default password is 0000. If you have forgotten the password for your Haier TV and cannot unlock it, the magic combination 9443 will help you.

Which Search Type to choose: Full, Network, Quick.

Many people, when setting up their TV to receive cable channels, make mistakes by choosing the wrong type of channels. For example, when choosing Network, you will need to enter the starting and ending frequency, QAM modulation, and bit rate. These parameters are different for each operator, so don’t post anything here if you don’t know for sure. Therefore, by selecting Full search, the TV will tune in all available channels itself, only a little longer.

Why it doesn’t catch - the main reasons

There are cases when users set up digital channels correctly, watched them for a while, and then they disappeared somewhere. How to fix this problem? There are many reasons. Let's look at some of them:

• The antenna does not receive the signal well. To solve this problem, you need to purchase a new signal amplifier. If this does not help, the antenna needs to be replaced.
• Broken contacts connecting the antenna to the TV. To solve the problem, you should ring the cable.
• The tuner is not receiving a signal. It is possible that the set-top box does not support DVBT-2 format. Only buying a new receiver will help.
• The signal amplifier stopped working. It must be taken to a service center. A common cause of failure is a burnt-out power supply.
• Some channels are not working. Try to point the antenna towards the TV tower.
• Half the channels are gone. If the equipment works correctly, most likely the settings of the set-top box have gone wrong, and they should be changed again.

If problems occur with digital broadcasting, you must take the following steps:

1. Check the integrity of the cable and connections between the antenna, set-top box and TV.
2. Try reconfiguring the console. If automatic tuning does not produce results, use manual tuning.
3. Orient the antenna towards the TV tower.

Nuances for devices with Smart TV function

Attention. For different Smart TV models, the setup process is generally similar, but still has some differences.

First you need to connect the antenna. To do this you will need to do 3 steps:

1. Connect the power cable.
2. We connect the antenna to the appropriate connector.
3. To connect to the Internet, connect the cable to the RJ-45 port. You can also use WI-FI. The second option is more comfortable.

To set up digital TV on Haier TVs, you need to do the following steps:

1. Press and hold the MUNI button and go to the “Channel” item. Click “Ok”.
2. Select the DVB item. Select “Antenna” or “Cable”.
3. Select the required type of setting between manual and automatic.
4. Set the settings. Select DTV and ATV in the “Setup Mode” item.
5. Choose your country.
6. No need to choose your operator. Just click on the “Others” item.
7. Click the “Autosearch” button and wait for it to complete.

Found channels are automatically saved in the TV memory.

Important. If you suddenly stop searching, the TV will remember the channels found.

In this case, you will have to repeat the procedure again. This can happen when you accidentally press a button on the remote control, so it’s best to put it somewhere away.
