DVB-T DIGITAL TV RECEPTION NOTES (AUSTRALIA)

Utilising the latest in DVB-T tuning technology, this 7” portable digital TV will give you crystal
clear images and has been tuned to receive all available free to air digital television signals
broadcast in Australia (and other countries) subscribing to the DVB-T channel spectrum.
However being a portable device (with relatively less power than a set top box or home
digital television), reception for this device is best when in metropolitan areas or places of
known good reception. For indoor use, we recommend using the MCX to IEC adaptor or
placing the device near a window. Trying to use the device to watch TV whilst travelling (in a
car, train, bus, etc) is not recommended however watching content from a USB stick or SD
memory card will have no problem.

conversions have been tested to work with this device.. If you are unsure how to tackle file
conversation or you have never done it before, we recommend that you have a few trial

1. Once you have installed “Freemake” and it is operating correctly, open the program
and select the file you wish to convert using the icons at the top of the screen.

2. Once selected, the confirmation screen will allow you to check that you have
selected the correct file.

the left and right arrows if needed.

4. Select DVD quality in the preset field, the save-to location for the file, and then press
the convert button

advise if your conversation was successful. The file is now ready to use.
