socket/Coaxial socket with the
antenna cable.
➭Connect the anntenna cable with
Adapter Coaxial socket/Coaxial socket
to the 75 Ohm connectore on your
stereo system.
➭To connect the room antenna to a
DVB-T-Receiver with an F-socket, the
Adapter F-Plug/Coaxial socket must
be used.
➭Connect the Adapter F-Plug/Coaxial
socket with the antenna cable.

Operating the Indoor Antenna
Receiving programme signals via the
indoor antenna
The programme signals are received by
the indoor antenna and transmitted to
the television set.
For the reception of DVB-T programme
signals you need an additional DVB-T re-
ceiver (DVB-T signals cannot be received
everywhere).
The indoor antenna has to be positioned
correctly for the proper reception of
programme signals.
The following antennas are available for
this:
two telescoping antennas for VHF
and UKW reception that tilt and rota-
te by 180° and
 one oval-shaped antenna for UHF re-
ception that tilts and rotates by 100°.
To orient the indoor antenna:
➭Pull out both telescopic antenna 
➭and adjust these until the best recep-
tion is obtained.
➭Adjust the oval antenna by turning
or tilting until the best reception is
obtained.

Switching On and Regulating the
Amplifier
You can regulate the amplifier gain by
turning the regulator on the front of
the appliance:
➭Switch on the indoor antenna by tur-
ning the regulator  to the right.
The operating indicator  lights up red.
➭Turn the regulator  in clockwise
direction to increase the amplifier gain.
➭Turn the regulator  in anti-clockwise
direction to decrease the amplifier gain.
➭Turn the regulator  completely to
the left until it clicks to switch off the
indoor antenna.
What to Do in the Event of
Reception Problems
Reception disruptions, such as an unclear
or distorted picture could have the
following causes:
•The indoor antenna is not correctly
oriented:
Every station requires an individual
orientation. For this reason, reorient
the indoor antenna every time after
changing the station.
•There are obstacles in the reception
range of the indoor antenna:
Attempt to remove the obstructions
or place the antenna at a different
location.
•There is electromagnetic interference
in the immediate vicinity:
Try to eliminate the interference if,
for example, it is caused by other
appliances (mobile telephone, micro-
wave, etc.).
•Interference due to overmodulation:
Try to eliminate the interference by re-
ducing the amplifier gain by turning the
regulator  anti-clockwise.
The reception characteristics of the
indoor antenna are only good if you
are close enough to the broad-
casting station.
Cleaning and Care
Risk of electric shock
• Before cleaning, always pull the plug
out of the plug socket.
• Never submerge the indoor antenna
into water or other liquids during
cleaning.
➭Clean the indoor antenna only with a
dry, lint-free cloth.
To avoid damaging the appliance, never
use solvents for cleaning.
