DreamVision DL500
A TV-tuner is (Mac Optional) for the
The DreamVision DL500 behaves just like a normal TV.
See the menus section 7.2.6 on how to adjust the TV

DreamVision DL500
Figure 11: Connecting to TV- source
NOTE! Requires TV tuner to be installed.
In order to use the DreamVision DL500 as a TV output;
connect the TV antenna to the TV connector on the
DreamVision DL500 plug panel.
◆ Antenna (Terrestrial)
◆ Cable
◆ Set-up box for satellite
These three work differently and it is important to
consider the options of each when adjusting the
DreamVision DL500 settings.
Antenna
When you adjust your TV to signals from an antenna
you must store each channel in a different program. .
The same is true for the DreamVision DL500 TV-tuner.
When connected to an antenna you assign the different
channels to the programs in the Television Setup Menu.
Then you use the Up and Down arrows
in the menu, remote control or the channel up/down
button on the control panel to switch between channels.

Contents
Cable
When you are connected to a cable system you have
two options. If you have a cable decoder you set your
TV to the channel for the cable, and then you use the
remote control for the decoder to switch between channels. If you do not have a decoder you simply set your
TV up just like you would with an antenna. This is also
the same with the DreamVision DL500. You must scroll
the channel name in the TV Setup menu until you find
the correct channel for your cable system. When this
channel has been assigned to one of the program numbers you simply select this program and use the remote
control or control panel to switch between
channels.
Satellite
This works like the cable decoder meaning that you
select the channel that reads the signals from the
atellite dish. Then you use the remote control of the
decoder to switch between channels.
