How Do I Reset A Dta880 Converter Box To Factory Defaults Without Visible Menu?

I accidentally changed the modulation value on my RCA DTA880 converter box. Now the box does not seem to communicate with my TV (no picture, audio, menu, etc.). How can I perform a factory default reset? I have tried unplugging it for 15 seconds, pressing the "on" key while plugging in the set, and trying a "Blind" menu reset without a picture showing.Help!!!

Digital converter boxes were designed to make it possible for people with analog televisions to be able to access digital channels. Television stations nationwide no longer broadcast their signals in the analog format, having switched to digital broadcasting. Use of an antenna alone with analog TVs will no longer work because of the digital switch. With a digital converter box, however, you can still use your antenna to access TV channels.STEP 1

Turn on your converter box, go to the "Function" menu and then select "Factory Reset."

STEP 2

Enter your PIN number (created during the initial setup) when prompted, and press "Yes." The reset process will now begin, reverting your converter box back to its factory settings.

STEP 3

Select "Auto Scan" from the menu once the reset process is complete and push "Rescan." This will reset your channels. When the setup wizard appears, follow the onscreen prompts.
