1.1. Connections
Note:
Donotconnectthedigitalreceivertothemainpoweryet.
1.1.1.Connection to the terrestrial
antenna
The terrestrial antenna is connected directly to a digital
receiver on the “ANT in” connector of the Tuner 1, by
means of a coaxial cable. Use two loop-through cables
(suppliedwithunit)tomakealoopthroughbetweenTuner1
andTuner2withtherstcableandbetweenTuner2andthe
RFModulatorwiththesecondcable(seepicture4)
1.1.2. Connection to the TV set
TheDigitalreceiverandTVsetareusuallyconnectedbymeansofaSCARTcable(suppliedwithunit).Simplyconnectthetwoendsof
thecablewiththemainSCARTsocketontheTVsetandwiththeTVSCARTsocketonthereceiver,respectively.TheSCARTconnection
ensuresthataudioandvideosignalsaretransmittedtotheTVsetinoptimumquality.Inaddition,useanRFantenna(coaxial)cableto
connectthe“RFOUT“onthemodulatorwiththeantennainputsocketoftheTVset.Inthisway,theterrestrialantennaconnectionislooped
throughthereceivertothe
TV set (see picture 5). If
theTVsetisnotequipped

In case your TV set is equipped only
withaCVBSinputsocket,youcanuse

and connect your TV set via cable to
provide optimum quality of the video
signal.ToprovideaudiosignaltotheTV

connectionisloopedthroughthereceiver
totheTVset(seepicture7).
1.1.3. Connection to a DVD or
video recorder
Just as the TV set, the DVD or video recorder is
connected to the receiver via a SCART connection.
Use the VCR SCART socket for this purpose (see
picture8).
If you also have a video recorder connected to the
terrestrial antenna cable, this terrestrial antenna
connection should run rst from the receiver to the
video recorder and only from there to the TV set.

an optical digital output. If your Hi-Fi system
is equipped with an optical audio input, you
mayuseanopticalcabletoconnectyourHi-Fi

1.2. Connection to main power
supply
After all the connections are done you can
connectyourdigitalreceivertothemainpower.
Justbeforepluggingapowercableintothewall
connector put the power switch, on the rear
