What is the Rayzar Air? A. The Rayzar Air is Winegard’s newest off-air digital RV antenna. Q. What capabilities does the Rayzar Air have? A: The Rayzar Air is a high-band VHF/UHF antenna with a bidirectional reception pattern, meaning it can receive signals from both the front and back of the antenna. It may also receive low-band VHF signals in optimal conditions. Q. How is the Rayzar Air installed? A: The Rayzar Air is permanently mounted to the roof of your RV, similar to how the Winegard Sensar antennas are installed. continued next page ® Winegard Rayzar® Air pg 2 of 3 WC-1131 Rayzar® Air Amplified Local HD and Digital Broadcast TV Antenna FAQS continued Q. Is the Rayzar Air compatible with the Sensar lift assembly? A: Yes – the Rayzar Air is sold both as a standalone unit (including full lift assembly) and as a conversion kit from the Sensar. This will allow a consumer to retrofit a Sensar lift with the Rayzar Air antenna with a quick and easy process. The Rayzar Air is also compatible with the existing Sensar’s wiring and power supply. Q. What’s the difference between the Rayzar Air and the Sensar? A: The Rayzar Air’s bidirectional reception pattern gives it more coverage than the Sensar, which will lead to less tuning required to receive programming. It is also optimized for UHF reception, which a majority of US over-the-air stations are broadcast on. Q. How is the Rayzar Air operated? A: The Rayzar Air is operated by an interior crank assembly. It must be raised by cranking the interior handle and turned (using a directional handle) towards the broadcast tower locations. Given the bidirectional reception pattern, the antenna will require less fine tuning than the Sensar. A channel scan must then be run on the television to scan in channels received. Q. Is the Rayzar Air compatible with the SensarPro signal meter? A: Yes – the Rayzar Air is compatible with the SensarPro signal meter. The SensarPro provides detailed feedback on the signals the antenna is receiving and allows users to add or decrease amplification to best suit their location for maximum performance. Q. What channels can the Rayzar Air receive? A: The Rayzar Air antenna can receive programming from the major local broadcast networks (e.g. ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, PBS) plus additional networks (Qubo, ION, The CW, This TV, MyNetworkTV, Azteca, Telefutura, Univision, and Telemundo). The Rayzar Air antenna can also receive local news, weather and educational programs that satellite and cable don’t offer. Availability may vary based on location and distance from the broadcast tower. Q. Does the Rayzar Air antenna work with any TV? A: The Rayzar Air works with any TV or device that has an ATSC tuner. Devices that may have built-in ATSC tuners include TVs, laptops, PCs, some satellite receivers, and digital recording devices (DVRs). Tip: Any television manufactured after March 1, 2007 is required by U.S. government to have an ATSC tuner. If your TV menu has an option for scanning for digital channels, then your television has an ATSC tuner. Q. Will the Rayzar Air work with an analog television? A: A large majority of over-the-air signals are now digital – the antenna does not differentiate between digital and analog signals. However, for an analog TV to work with a Rayzar Air, a digital-to-analog converter box must be used in conjunction with the antenna. Q. Can the Rayzar Air be connected to multiple televisions? A: Yes. The Rayzar Air antenna can connect to multiple televisions through the wall plate/power supply that comes with the unit (or is from an existing Sensar). TROUBLESHOOTING Q. What happens if the Rayzar Air antenna stops working or if I can’t set up the antenna properly? A: Contact Winegard Technical Services by emailing [email protected] or by calling 1-800-788-4417.

  • Television Compatibility
    Television Compatibility The CWRU digital cable system requires a television, DVR or other tuner device with a QAM tuner. You must check the specifications from your manufacturer to determine if it includes the required tuner. The types of tuners currently in use in the United States are listed here for your reference. NTSC TUNER (NOT COMPATIBLE) NTSC, named for the National Television System Committee, is the analog television system used in the United States from 1941 to 2009. After nearly 70 years of use, the FCC ordered the discontinuation of most over-the-air NTSC transmissions in the United States in 2009. Analog channels are still available on many cable systems to provide basic programming without the use of a cable conversion box. Some manufacturers no longer include this type of tuner in televisions built after 2009. ATSC TUNER (NOT COMPATIBLE) An ATSC (Advanced Television Systems Committee) tuner, often called an ATSC receiver or HDTV tuner is a type of television tuner that allows reception of digital television (DTV) television channels transmitted by television stations in North America. The FCC required all television manufacturers to include an ATSC tuner in all products since 2007, and required television broadcasters to switch in 2009. This type of tuner is currently included in all new televisions, including the inexpensive "digital conversion boxes" that were widely available leading up to the 2009 switchover. QAM TUNER (REQUIRED) QAM (quadrature amplitude modulation) is the format by which digital cable channels are encoded and transmitted via cable television providers, including CWRU. A QAM tuner is the cable equivalent of an ATSC tuner which receives over-the-air digital channels broadcast by local television stations.

INTRODUCTION As digital television progresses with higher quality and assumes 2a greater role in the broadcasting world,1 analog television is on its way out. While much of the technological progress is consumer-driven, there are still instances in which the government or its regulatory agencies have stepped in to encourage and assist the public's progression to newer, more advanced technologies through a process aptly termed "technology forcing."3 Promoting the public interest through "technology forcing" often requires a delicate balance between industrial and economic progress on the one hand, and embedded costs and vested commercial interests on the other.

  • Digital TV Service Guide Digital Conversion Boxes QAM Digital
    Digital TV Service Guide The digital cable system requires a television with a QAM tuner. You must check the specifications from your TV manufacturer to determine if it includes the required tuner. The types of tuners currently in use in the United States are listed here for your reference. 1. QAM Tuner (REQUIRED) QAM (quadrature amplitude modulation) is the format by which digital cable channels are encoded and transmitted via cable television providers, including Apogee. A QAM tuner is the cable equivalent of an ATSC tuner which receives over-the-air digital channels broadcast by local television stations. Many new cable-ready digital televisions support both of these standards. Because there is no requirement, though, some very inexpensive manufacturers or models may not include the QAM tuner. Please be advised that less expensive TVs sometimes come with a lower quality QAM tuner that may be unable to tune all of the channels. We have found this to be true of bargain brands. If that is the case a digital conversion box can be purchased. 2. NTSC TUNER (NOT COMPATIBLE) 3. ATSC TUNER (NOT COMPATIBLE) Digital Conversion Boxes If your television does not have a QAM tuner, you can update your television or purchase a digital conversion box. Just like the TV, you should ensure that the conversion boxes include a QAM tuner and not just an ATSC tuner. Most tuner boxes available at electronic stores for over-the-air digital TV transition do not include a QAM tuner, be sure to verify the specifications from the external tuner manufacturer before completing your purchase.
