INSTALLATION
Installation
HDTV Digital Receiver Location
Follow these recommendations before deciding the location of your HDTV Digital Receiver.
[] Avoid excessive sunlight or bright lights, including reflections.
[] Keep away from excessive heat or moisture. Inadequate ventilation may cause internal component failure.
[] Fluorescent lighting may reduce remote cantrol transmitting range.
[] Keep away from magnetic equipment, including motors, fans and external speakers.
Connecting Cables
Component Video cables (Y, PB, PR) are provided for connection to a DTV-Compatible monitor/receiver. Shielded audio
and video cables (not provided) should be used between components. For best results:
[] Use 75-ohm coaxial shielded cables,
[] Use appropriate input and output connectors that match your component connectors.
[] Avoid long cables to minimize interference.
AC Power Supply Cord
CAUTION: TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK MATCH WIDE BLADE OF PLUG TO WIDE SLOT OF AC OUTLET
AND FULLY INSERT. DO NOT USE A PLUG WITH A RECEPTACLE OR OTHER OUTLET UNLESS THE BLADE ,_/_
CAN BE FULLY INSERTED TO PREVENT BLADE EXPOSURE. Polarized plug
PROTECT POWER CORDS FROM BEING WALKED ON, ROLLED OVER, CRIMPED, BENT OR PINCHED,
PARTICULARLY AT PLUGS, CONVENIENCE RECEPTACLES, AND THE POINT WHERE THEY EXIT FROM THE APPARATUS.
Antenna Installation and Orientation
Yagi
Log Periodic
Reflector
In many areas, an indoor antenna can be used to receive Drv signals. Certain condition, however,
may create a situation where an outdoor antenna is required. Tall buildings, large metal objects
(e.g., a water tower) or hills may block the line-of-sight to the TV station and interfere with DTV
signal reception. Keep the following in mind when installing and orienting your outdoor antenna.
For addition information about antennas, see the Consumer Electronics manufacturing
Association (CEMA) website at: www.cemacity.org or ask your local dealer.
[] Choose an antenna with directional receiving characteristics such as a Yagi, log periodic, or reflector
antenna. Avoid loop, wire bowtie, rabbit-ear and omni-directional antennas.
[] Use good grade 75 Ohm coax (round) cable to connect the antenna to the HDTV Digital Receiver. Do not
use 300 Ohm flat twin-lead cable.
[] Place the antenna away from large metal objects. If using an indoor antenna, remember that aluminum
siding and foil-covered insulation can greatly reduce the signal strength inside your house.
[] Point the antenna in the direction of the TV station Allow a 4-6 second delay in tuning. Watch for a
program to appear on the "iV. If the on-screen indicator is "Poor Signal Quality" or if a program comes
and goes, try a slightly different position for the antenna. Slowly raising or lowering the antenna by a few
feet may help.
[3 Avoid standing in front of the antenna while adjusting its position. Move a few feet to the rear to avoid
changing the signal characteristics.
[3 If you are located in an area serviced by two (2) different DTV stations in different directions, you may
need an antenna rotator to receive signals from both stations.
