Tuning Digital TV on the AV 700 TV
Before you can use your AV 700 TV to watch Digital TV for the fi rst time, you will need to tune it to
receive the available programs in your area. You may also need to do this when you enter a different
coverage area, for instance when you travel a long distance.
Setting Up and Connecting the Antennas
Your AV 700 TV comes with a set of two amplifi ed antennas along with their cable and carrying case. Start by
assembling these elements as shown in this picture.
Then, connect the antennas to the antenna connector of your AV 700 TV. This port is next to the TV/LCD button
on the top of the device, and is marked with this symbol:
.
Attention: DO NOT connect the antennas to the ‘USB A’ port of the AV 700 TV!

Positioning the Antennas for Optimal Reception
You must now make sure that your antennas are in a position that allows for good reception. In most situations,
you will be able to obtain a good quality signal by leaving the antennas in the opened carrying case.
For an optimal reception, unfurl the cables of the antennas (leaving the
antennas in their pockets) and place them as far as possible from the
AV 700 TV device, and as close as possible to a window. Never place the
antennas less than 80cm (30 inches) from the AV 700 TV. Try different
orientations to determine which one offers the best reception (see
signal
quality icon
further down).
Deploy the antennas
away from any electromagnetic source
such as
a TV or PC, and away from any metal parts (at least 30 cm/12”).
The supplied antennas are directional antennas: the most sensitive side
is the front side, with the shortest element. In some areas, reception
may be very poor, and you may need to take the antennas out of their
pockets. In such a case, turn them
in opposite directions, as far away
from each other as possible
.
Note that both of the antennas have a
power LED that will light up once they
are correctly plugged in.
