Connecting to VCR
Connect your VCR to the VCR SCART on your
receiver.
If the search has not found all the available channels
in your area, it probably means that you need to
better the installation. See next paragraph.
If no channels are found, it probably means that your
area may not be covered by the transmission or the
antenna is not pointing to the digital transmitter. See
next paragraph.
PROGRAMMING THE RECEIVER
Programming the receiver is achieved through the various menus. In order to simplify
this, we will describe accessing a menu as below.
Press MENU key to access the main menu.
Press Down key to highlight Setup.
Press OK to confirm.
Press Down key to highlight Service Setup.
Press OK to confirm.
Enter the 4 digits PIN code (0000 on purchase).
Press Up/Down key to highlight a scan option (example; Full Scan Add New
Services).
Press OK to start the channel search. Following screen will appear showing the search
progress.
TUNING SERVICES FIRST TIME
After the welcome screen appears on the TV, press OK to start the automatic channel
search. Below screen will appear showing the search progress. When the search is
finished, the first channel will appear.
WEDGING / ADJUSTING THE ANTENNA
If no channels are found through your current antenna, it means that, it is probably
pointing towards an analogue only transmitter. If your area is covered by digital, it
means that the programs are coming from another transmitter. Hence you will have to
5
adjust the antenna. See following options.
1. Go to Menu / Setup / Service Setup / enter PIN
/ Manual Scan.
2. Press Left/Right key to select the channel number
of the UHF network that transmits digital channels
(see channels list on page 13).
3. On Tx Mode, select 2K with the Left or Right key.
4. On Guard Interval, select 1/32 with the Left or
Right key.
5. Wait for a few seconds and monitor the Level and
Quality graphs.
Option 1
If you know at least one network between channel 21 and 69 is used in your area follow
below setup.
6. Realign the antenna for maximum Level/Quality reception. When aligned correctly to
the transmitter, the Signal Level and Quality should increase. On the Quality, 6 is
minimum number for a stable image. If the Level does not increase, it means that you
have selected an incorrect network number, or the transmitter is too far from your
antenna.
7. Once you have achieved the maximum Level / Quality, fix the antenna position firmly.
8. Press EXIT.
9. Go to Menu / Setup / Service Setup / enter PIN / Full Scan Replace Existing
Services.
10. Press OK to start scan.
Option 2
You are able to receive national channels in analogue, but have no idea what you can
receive in digital quality or if you are certain that you can receive additional channels,
but you do not know which network is used for these channels, we advise that you do
the following.
Install a UHF antenna with high gain (at least 15 dB) and connect it to the ANT input of
the receiver. Adjust the antenna so it is in the same position as the previous one and
start an automatic channels search. (Go to Menu / Setup / Service Setup / enter PIN
/ Full Scan Replace Existing Services).
If you find channels that you were unable to receive with your previous antenna, simply
replace it with the new one. Otherwise align the antenna 1/8 of a turn and start another
automatic search. Continue this process until you find at least a few channels.
1. Select one of the new channels received.
2. Go to Menu / Setup / Service Setup /enter PIN/ Manual Scan.
3. At the bottom of the screen, observe the signal level and quality.
4. Align the antenna to optimize the level and quality (quality must be at least 6).
5. Fix the antenna firmly.
6. Press Menu to go back to the previous menu.
7. Perform an automatic search (Go to Menu / Setup / Service Setup / enter PIN /
Full Scan Replace Existing Services).
