Connecting an Antenna

Selecting the antenna

u Internal or external antenna

If you have been receiving your television programmes to date in analogue using an internal or external antenna, you can generally continue to use this antenna.

As with an analogue television signal, the digital signal can be impeded by buildings, etc.. The reception quality may vary depending on the impediments and on the geographical distance to the next transmitting station. This can be compensated for by using an appropriate antenna. If the transmission quality is not adequate using an internal antenna, use an external antenna. You may also be able to improve the quality of reception by adjusting the position of the antenna.

Starting Up the Set-Top Box

u DVB-T antenna

If you do not have an internal or external antenna or cannot achieve the desired quality of reception with such an antenna, it is recommended to purchase a DVB-T antenna. DVB-T antennae are tailored to the special requirements of digital television and do not have to be positioned specially. You will find additional information on the required antenna in specialist retail stores for radio and television technology.

Connecting an antenna

You use a coaxial cable to connect your set-top box to your antenna. Suitable antenna cables in different lengths and designs can be found in specialist retail stores for radio and television technology.

Note: Some internal antennae must be supplied with electric current to ensure proper operation.

1. If appropriate, disconnect your antenna and your set-top box from the mains before connecting the coaxial cable.

2. Connect the connector at one end of the coaxial cable to your antenna.

3. Insert the connector at the other end of the coaxial cable into the IF-INPUT DIGITAL port on the set-top box.

Starting Up the Set-Top Box

Transmitting Picture and Sound

Your set-top box transmits video signals and analogue audio signals via the SCART ports. It is therefore perfectly adequate for simple transmission of picture and sound if you connect the set-top box to the television using the SCART cable supplied. Your set-top box offers various ports for other connection variants for transmitting analogue and digital sound. The particular connection you choose is solely dependent on your available terminals and ports for these.

Connecting a TV (SCART)

ì Use the SCART cable supplied to connect a SCART port on your television to the TV

port on your set-top box. If your television does not have a free SCART port, check if you can disconnect

another connected device from your television. You can also connect a video recorder, for example, to the VCR port on the set-top box, see "Connecting a Video Recorder / DVD Device (SCART)" on page 18.

Connecting a beamer or television (Cinch)

Beamers and some TVs are equipped with signal inputs in Cinch format. If you want to use these signal inputs, you need a Cinch adapter (SCART to Cinch) in order to transmit the video signal using a Cinch cable. When a beamer is connected, you transmit the sound for example to a stereo system or an AV receiver.

Connecting a stereo system (audio analogue)

If your stereo system does not have any digital audio inputs, you can transmit the audio signals of your set-top box in analogue in order to make use of the better sound quality of your stereo system.

ì Use a Cinch cable to set up the following connections:

– Connect the right audio input of your stereo system to the AUDIO R port on your

set-top box (red).

– Connect the left audio input of your stereo system to the AUDIO L port on your

set-top box (white).

Connecting a surround decoder (audio digital)

You can receive digital sound with optimum quality by connecting your set-top box to a terminal (e.g. surround decoder or AV receiver), which is equipped with a digital audio input. You require a fibre optic cable for optical transmission of the digital audio signals from your set-top box.

ì Insert the connector at one end of the fibre optic cable

into an optical audio input on your terminal.

ì Remove the protective cover from the DIGITAL OUT

port on your set-top box and keep it safe for later use.

ì Insert the connector at the other end of the fibre optic

cable into the DIGITAL OUT port on your set-top box.

Starting Up the Set-Top Box
