Connecting antenna

Connect the antenna cable from the roof
antenna to the antenna socket ”VHF/UHF IN”
on the back of your TV set to receive digitally
broadcast programs.

An indoor antenna can also be used under
good reception conditions. Passive and active
room antennas are offered commercially. In an
active antenna the power is supplied via the
antenna connection ”VHF/UHF IN”.
In the ”TV-Menu – Settings – Terrestrial
Antenna” the supply voltage
(5 Volt) must be set accordingly.

It is advisable to use an antenna without
directional characteristic. If the location is
outside the normal transmission range, a
directional antenna (Yagi) can also be used to
improve the reception quality.

You can obtain more detailed information
about receivable digital stations in your area
from your dealer.

The plugged antenna bridge cable (see fig. on
page 5/6) feeds the antenna signal to the
second VHF/UHF tuner with which you can
receive additional analog TV stations.

If you have a ”picture in picture” tuner (PIP),
the antenna signal also has to be fed to this
tuner (plug plugged into the ”PIP” socket).

✳✳

 Remove the antenna bridge cable (fig.

page 5 or 6) and connect this terminal to the
cable system if you want to receive analog TV
programs from the cable network.

Determining antenna
position and aligning the
antenna

For optimum alignment or determination of the
suitable installation location of the antenna
your TV set has an indicator for the signal
quality 

C/N

 and signal strength 

Level

.

Ask your dealer on which channels and
frequency bands (VHF or UHF) digital TV
programs are broadcasted.
Several digital programs are transmitted on one
channel.

Choosing a TV channel

1. Call the ”TV menu” with the 

M

 button.

2. Select the ”Settings” line and confirm with

OK

.

3. Select the ”Channels” line and confirm with

OK

.

4. Select the ”Set manually” line and confirm

with 

OK

.

5. For digital programs select

”Range – DVB-T”.

6. Enter the appropriate channel number with

the numeric buttons.
The corresponding bandwidth 7 or 8 MHz is
set depending on the channel and country.

Notes

• The bandwidth should only be adapted in

exceptional cases if for example frequency
conversion takes place in house distribution
systems, e.g. from UHF to VHF or vice versa.

• If you receive a digital program, the signal

quality 

C/N

 and the signal strength

 Level

is displayed by a black bar/numeric value.
The antenna alignment or position is at an
optimum when as constant and high a
value as possible (large bar) is displayed for
the signal quality and signal strength.
Align the antenna to a maximum bar/
numeric value.

• If no signal is found in the set channel, the

frequency search starts automatically within
the selected band (VHF or UHF).

7. Check other channels on which digital

programs are broadcasted terrestrially in
your area one after another.
Align the antenna using the weakest station
to as constant as possible and maximum
bar/numeric value.

Note

After the antenna has been positioned and
aligned, we recommend the ”Automatic station
search and store” function to search for all
stations (see page 7).
