The 14:9 mode is halfway between Zoom and 16:9, the manual said, but didn't seem useful at all. The Zoom button switched between Anamorphic, Wide 16:9, Wide 14:9, and Zoom modes. Other buttons include EPG (Electronic Program Guide), Favorite Channel, Back, Previous, Mute, Audio, Zoom, CC, and Meter. Our recommendation is to set the box volume and then simply use the TV volume for your volume needs. With two sets of volume controls, one for the TV and one for the box signal level, many users may have a bit of confusion. A few codes later, the TV power button worked correctly, but the TV Input button didn't work.

Finally, the fifth code for my RCA TV worked to turn the TV off, but not back on. After a few codes and no results I wondered if it was actually working. The method to program the TV into the remote seemed very frustrating as I had to hold down each button in the key code sequence for about 1 second each. There are programmable TV power, input, and volume buttons on the top. It's very irritating to have a big Power Off button in the middle of essential controls. For all intents and purposes, it just turns the box off and puts the words "Analog Pass Through" on the screen first. The A/D button switched from digital mode to allow an analog pass-through for the antenna. The volume and channel buttons are placed in the middle and surround an A/D button.
This remote is well balanced and easy to hold and use, for the most part. This is the same configuration as most other TV converter boxes we've seen on the market. Ports – 4/5įrom left to right, the rear of the box has coax antenna in, coax TV out, CH 3/4 switch, composite/stereo A/V jacks and a hard wired power cable. The power and channel buttons are on the top right of the box near the front. There are no buttons on the front, only a green power LED and the IR sensor. Other than its small size the actual box is black and very plain. The manual with the box is very comprehensive and covers any questions users might have.
It is the smallest in the shootout and has a good sized remote and comes with batteries and a coax cable in addition to the tuner itself. This unit is available from Radio Shack but my store was out so it needed to be special ordered. The Digital Stream DTX9950 was popular on some forums early on in the digital TV box race.
