General about connection
Picture and sound
Digital TV is a transmission technology that replaces
the traditional analogue technique.
This means that several TV channels, radio channels
and other digital services can be transmitted on the
same space as just one channel took up before. As a
consumer you get access to many more channels and
services than before at the same time as they are
received with perfect picture and audio quality.
The recorder converts the digital signal into a format
that is suitable for your TV and sound system.
Connecting your recorder is just as simple as
connecting for example a video recorder. You get the
best picture quality by using a HDMI cable for
connection to your TV-set. The best audio experience
is obtained by connecting an optical cable to your
sound system.
Coverage
Before buying this product it is anticipated that you
have made sure that there are digital transmissions
covering your region.
Antenna / Signal source
Depending on the reception your recorder may be
connected to a simple indoor antenna or to an existing
outdoor antenna system. If you live in a flat you should
make sure that the digital terrestrial signals are
distributed to your wall antenna outlet. If you have
your own antenna system you must make sure that it
is equipped with antennas, filter and/or amplifier that
can handle those frequencies that the digital channels
are transmitted on.
Cable-TV
Please observe that this recorder is not designed for
the reception of regular digital cable-TV signals (QAM-
signal). Despite this, operators of smaller cable
networks may have chosen to distribute the digital
terrestrial signals (COFDM-signal) in the network. In
this case this recorder may well be used.
Check with your landlord if you are insecure about
what type of TV-signal that is provided in the wall
antenna outlet.
Connecting to the antenna
Remove the antenna cable plug from your TV set and
insert it into the antenna socket at the back of the
recorder. Plug one end of the antenna cable into the
TV socket on the recorder and the other end into the
antenna input socket on your TV set.
Caution
The ANTENNA IN jack supply the antenna feed (DC
5V/100mA) and the antenna feed is switchable via
setup menu. If your digital antenna is not an active
antenna, you must set the [Antenna feed 5V] option to
[OFF].
RF coaxial connection
Connect the ANTENNA OUT jack on the recorder to
the antenna input jack on the TV using the 75-ohm
Coaxial Cable supplied
(R)
. The ANTENNA OUT jack
passes the signal through from the ANTENNA IN jack.
