About digital transmission

Digital Radio and TV signals can be blocked by buildings, mountains
and the terrain. Depending on if the receiver is located in a valley,
behind a mountain or in a concrete building, the quality of recep­tion may vary considerably.

As with most other transmissions, bad weather does affect the re­ception quality.

GB 6

Connecting the Mediamaster

Connecting to the TV aerial

You can connect the Mediamaster to the following type of aerials:

1. Standard outdoor aerial

Where possible, use an outdoor roof aerial intended for receiving
UHF channels between 21 and 69.

Please note the following:

• In some block of flats, the roof-mounted aerial system includes
a filter and channel selector. If so, the aerial may not work with
the Mediamaster. Please consult the landlord.

• Many older roof-mounted aerials may only receive a limited
number of channels. As a result, digital channels transmitted on
higher frequencies are difficult or even impossible to receive. The
problem can be solved by replacing the roof aerial.

• 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.

2. Indoor and window mounted aerials

It is not advisable to use indoor or window mounted aerials, as dig­ital channels will be difficult or even impossible to receive.

GB 7

Connecting the Mediamaster

Common connections

There are many different types of TV/VCR and other equipment that
you can connect to the Mediamaster.
In this section you will see some of the most common ways to con-
nect your equipment.

If you have problems with your connections and need help, contact

your retailer or Nokia Support.

Connecting to the TV with SCART

• Remove the aerial lead from your TV and connect this to the TV
AERIAL input socket on the Mediamaster.

• Connect a SCART cable between the main SCART socket on the TV
and the TV SCART socket on the Mediamaster.

• Connect an RF cable from the TV/VCR output on the Mediamaster
to the RF input socket on the TV.

• Switch on your TV, plug in and switch on your Mediamaster.

You may need to select the AV ( SCART ) channel on your TV to
watch Digital TV. In some cases your TV will automatically se­lect this channel when the Mediamaster is switched on.

Note: The RF lead will need to be connected in order to watch
analogue channels ( your old 1,2,3,4,5 )

It is always advisable to consult your TV instruction book.

RF SCART

Connecting to the TV without SCART

• Remove the aerial lead from your TV and connect this to the TV
AERIAL input socket on the Mediamaster.

• Connect an RF cable from the TV/VCR output on the Mediamaster
to the RF input socket on the TV.

• Switch on your TV, plug in and switch on your Mediamaster.

• Select a programme number on the TV that is not currently used
for other TV channels.

•Follow the instructions in your TV manual to tune the TV to pick
up the First time installation menu.

•Follow the instructions in your TV manual to store this channel.

• When the First time installation menu is visible, press the ok
button on the Mediamaster’s remote control to start the instal­lation procedure.

If the picture quality is bad you can later change the predefined UHF
channel 43 to any other figure between 21 and 69. You will also
have to tune your TV to the same (= the new) channel number.
