Connecting a TV Aerial

TV antenna hints

Always use a high quality digital ready outdoor VHF/UHF antenna. It is not advisab le to use indoor or window mounted aerials, except in areas close to digital

TV transmitters, as digital channels will be difficult or even impossible to receive.

Many older aerials may only receive a limited number of channels. As a result, digital channels transmitted on other channels are difficult or even impossible to receive. The problem can be solved by replacing the antenna with a high quality digital ready antenna.

Some outdoor aerials are directed towards an analogue transmitter. The aerial must be directed towards a digital TV transmitter.

It is not always advisable to position the aerial as high as possible. If problems arise, experiment with different aerial heights.

For best results use good quality double or quad screened coax leads, and high quality connectors throughout the TV antenna system.

Connecting to a TV

There are many different types of TV/VCR and other equipment that you can connect to your Set Top Box. Shown below are the most common methods normally used. If you have problems wit h your connections and need help, contact your retailer.

Connecting to the TV via the RF output

Use this connection method for older TV’s that do not have an A/V input.

RF INPUT

To tune your TV to the RF signal you will also need your TV manual in addition to this manual. The steps below explain how to make the connection. Note: RF cables are not supplied with your Set Top Box.

• Make sure that both the TV and the Set Top Box are switched off at the power outlet.

• Connect the antenna to the TV AERIAL input of the Set Top Box.

• Connect the TV/VCR output to the ANT IN terminal on the Set Top Box.

• Connect the TV OUT output on the Set Top Box to the Antenna input of your TV.

• Turn on the Set Top Box and the TV.

• Select a program number on the TV that is not currently used (refer to TV manual).

• Follow the instructions in your TV manual to tune the TV channel selector to UHF channel

69 (this is the factory preset UHF channel in the Set Top Box).

• Follow the instructions in your TV manual to store this UHF channel. You will have to select & use this channel number when you want to watch digital TV channels.

If the picture quality is poor, you may need to change the RF modulator output to another channel between CH 21 and CH 69. You will also have to tune your TV to the new channel. Please see UHF MODULATOR setting from SYSTEM MENU on page 21.

If you also have a VCR connected, the RF output of the Set Top Box must be tuned to a different UHF channel (between CH 21 and CH 69) than the VCR.

• If your TV has an S-Video input connector, you can connect your TV to the Set Top Box

using an S-Video lead instead of the composite video lead. You must also connect the Left and Right Audio cables in order to get sound.

• Turn on the Set Top Box and the TV.

• Select the AV input mode on the TV (refer to TV manual).

Optional audio connections

Instead of connecting the Left and Right Audio outputs to your TV, they can be connected to your Hi-Fi stereo for better sound quality. In this case, connect the Left and Right Audio

outputs from the Set Top Box to the Left and Right Audio inputs on your Hi -Fi Stereo. If you have a home theatre receiver with built in Dolby™ digital decoder, then connect the

SPDIF output of the digital TV Set Top Box to the SPDIF input of your home theatre receiver.
