Aerials Panel
DAS receiver Aerials side
1) aerial 1
2) aerial 2
3) aerial 3 (M44)
4) aerial 4
Warning: To ensure correct operation, aerials should be installed in the recommended position, far from
shielded glasses, bodywork and other parts which may prevent a good signal reception.
Position the supplied antennas horizontally or vertically: other inclinations may prevent good reception.
The drawing is provided for illustration purposes only. It is recommended to try different positions to
identify the ideal location for the positioning of the antennas inside the vehicle. In case of difficulties
contact a professional installer.
For this purpose, the unit includes a function that checks the signal strength at the aerial input.
To use this function, follow the procedure below:
) Fully install the DASM32-M44 without positioning the antennas
2) Tune to a channel with a good reception
3) Access the “Configuration Menu” and press on Remote Control keys -2-3 in succession. The
menu will return to the tuned channel and after few second the antennas control window will appear
If the dynamic bars are displayed by each aerial, the aerials are working correctly.
4) Remove the aerial again and press “0” (zero) on the remote control to reset the interferences to
zero.
5) After reconnecting the aerial, install them on the desired window, ensuring that the dynamic bars
show the best possible signal, without impairing the driver’s visibility.
IMPORTANT: Place aerial and aerial 2 opposite to each other to optimise reception in DAS mode (see
figure). Aerial are remote powered at 5V. The use of aerials different or others than those supplied or
aerials not guaranteed by the manufacturer may cause permanent damage to the equipment.

THE D A S (Diversity Autoscan System)
The DAS system is the heart of the system on this DVB-T auto receiver. Standard receivers have been
conceived for home use only and are fitted with a static directional system.
In the car, particularly during movement, the repeaters change and the signals are effected by the
movement of the vehicle and the surroundings.
The Diversity Autoscan System features automatic research of the strongest signal, providing the best
picture of the channel you want to view. Should several signals of the same channel be present, DAS will
select the strongest one.
All searches and scanning are directly managed by the receiver, leaving the user the pleasure to en oy
the program and avoiding the manual tuning and long waits
