Precautions for viewing terrestrial broadcasting
1. Check whether terrestrial digital broadcasting has been started in the region
(country) where the tuner will be used.
This product has a receiver for terrestrial digital broadcasts, and does not allow
TV viewing in regions (countries) where there is no terrestrial digital broadcasting.
In addition, it cannot receive terrestrial analog broadcasts. However, if terrestrial
digital broadcasting is not provided in the area where the tuner is used, there is
a possibility that analog TV is provided. If you have an analog TV, set up a pass-
through connection between this product and analog TV, and try viewing with the
analog TV.
Even in countries where terrestrial digital TV broadcasting has been started, it may
be impossible to view digital TV if the current location (anchor point) is distant from
the broadcasting station, or if it is impossible to obtain signal strength sufcient for
TV viewing at unfavorable locations such as those where noise has an effect on TV
signals.
2. Standards for terrestrial digital broadcasting are not uniform throughout the
world, and thus before searching for channels which can be viewed (channel
scan),it is necessary to specify the broadcast standard for channel scanning.
*If channel scan is performed with a different broadcast standard, channels will
not be detected.
Broadcasting standards are established by regions (countries). With this product, it
is possible to perform channel scan with either of the following:
① Scanning by designating a region (country) or broadcasting standard
② Sequential scanning of all broadcasting standards
Setting

16
With ②"All Scan", all broadcasting standards are scanned in sequence, and this
takes time.
Therefore, if the broadcasting standard at the current location or geographical point
is known, it is recommended to perform channel scan with method ①.
The terrestrial digital broadcasting standards in major regions are as indicated
below. As of March 2015
DVB-T/T2 EU, Russia, Australia, Taiwan, Singapore, UAE, etc.
ATSC North America, Korea, etc.
ISDB-T Japan
ISDB-TB South America, etc.
DTMB China, Hong Kong, etc.

17
1. Select the current region (broadcasting standard) from the screen, and press
the OK button. Channel scan will start automatically.
2. When channel scan is nished, a list of detected channels is displayed. Select
"OK" and press the OK button. The TV image will be displayed.
Region selection and channel scan
Region selection and channel scan are performed using the Scan button on
the remote control, or from "Region/Channel scan" on the Menu screen. Select

The following are possible reasons why it was impossible to detect the channel.
● If the broadcasting standard of the current location differs from the selected
broadcasting standard
Select another region (broadcasting standard), and perform channel scan again.
Or
Perform "All Scan".
● If there is no terrestrial digital broadcasting service in the country or region
⇒Digital TV cannot be viewed.
● If sufcient signal intensity (quality) can not be obtained
For example, in cases where it is a long distance from the broadcasting station,
or noise has an effect on the TV signal
⇒Digital TV cannot be viewed.
*If this product cannot achieve channel detection, there is a possibility that
terrestrial digital broadcasting is not provided in the region, and that terrestrial
analog broadcasting is provided instead. If you have an analog TV, try viewing with
it.
