High Definition Digital Television Recorder
4. Connections
Before installing your recorder:
• Please check that the delivery is complete (see Package contents, page 9).
• Please ensure that the appliances to be connected together (recorder, TV set, VCR…) are unplugged
before making any connections.
• Please ensure that Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT) is available in your area.
Connection to the terrestrial antenna
Very often to get the best reception, you may simply need to adjust your antenna. Alternatively, you can
connect an indoor antenna to your system. For more information, please contact your specialised
distributor.
Standard outdoor antenna
Preferably use an outside roof antenna that is designed to receive UHF channels (21 to 69). However:
• if your building is equipped with an old antenna model, digital channels may be difficult or even
impossible to receive. The problem can only be resolved by changing the antenna.
• if your building is equipped with a common antenna which contains selective filters devised for
analogue channels, reception will most probably not work correctly. In this case, you will have to
contact the administrator of the building.
• some antennas directed towards an analogue TV transmitter must be re-adjusted towards a digital TV
transmitter. If you encounter reception problems, you can also try placing the antenna at different
heights.
Indoor antenna
In ideal reception conditions, this type of antenna is sufficient. Here, however, are some useful tips:
• use an antenna designed to receive channels 21 to 69.
• install the antenna close to the window and direct it towards the digital TV transmitter.
• if possible, use an antenna with an amplifier. The recorder can provide remote power supply to your
indoor antenna (see Antenna Signal Information, page 38).
