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 adjust the
antenna. See following options.
Option 1
If you know at least one network between channel 21 and 69 is used in your area follow
below setup.
1. Go to Menu / Setup / Service Setup / enter PIN
/ Manual Scan.
2. Press Left/Right
of the UHF network that transmits digita
(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
Right key.
5. Wait for a few seconds and monitor the Level and
Quality graphs.
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).
