Philex 27782R User manual

The RF IN coaxial socket on the back of the
aerial (See Fig. 1) allows an alternative video
source, such as an outdoor aerial, cable TV,
a video game, or satellite receiver to be
connected to your TV via the aerial.
This saves you having to keep connecting
and disconnecting the coaxial cable running
to your TV and also saves wear and
tear on the TV coaxial socket.
To select the signal from the aerial, switch on the gain control. The power LED on the front of the aerial
will light up, while this LED is lit the signal sent to your TV will be from the indoor aerial.
To switch to an alternative video source connected via the RF IN coaxial socket simply switch o the
gain control (power LED is not lit).

Installation Instructions
1. Plug the integrated aerial coax lead (Fig. 1) from
the aerial into the ANT IN (RF) input on
your set-top box, or TV (or FM/DAB tuner).
2. Connect a SCART lead from the SCART
output on your set-top box to your TV.
Alternatively, connect an aerial coax lead
(not supplied) from the RF output
on your set-top box to the aerial input
on your TV (if in doubt check the
instructions for your set-top box).
3. Switch on the variable gain control
and set to maximum amplication
(turn control clockwise as far as it will go).
4. Rotate and tilt the UHF loop antenna to obtain the
best reception. For VHF fully extend telescopic VHF
antenna rods. Then adjust antenna angle and
rotate the whole aerial to obtain the best
VHF/FM/DAB signal.(see Fig. 2 & Fig. 3).
5. Adjust gain control to obtain best picture signal.

Troubleshooting
Digital TV
Problems with DTT (Digital Terrestrial Television)
Unlike analogue terrestrial television, it is not
possible to view DTT channel under weak signal
strength conditions. Therefore, typically you will
either receive DTT channels with a clear picture
and sound or you will not receive any channels at
all. Sometimes, an insucient digital signal can
cause occasional blocking, freezing or complete
loss of picture. Try the following to improve the
picture:
1. Tilt and rotate aerial.
2. Adjust Gain control.
3. Position aerial at greater or lesser distance
from TV until optimum signal is received.
4. Check the mains connection and fuse
Blocking, freezing or complete loss of picture
can also occur when a digital signal is too strong.
Adjust Gain control to obtain best picture result.
Analogue TV
Poor Signal Strength (analogue) - If the picture
suers from snowy grainy signal try the following
to improve the picture:
1. Tilt and rotate aerial to obtain the best picture.
2. Adjust Gain control to obtain the best picture.
3. Position aerial at a greater or lesser distance
from your TV until optimum signal is received.
4. Check that the adaptor is properly connected
to and aerial.
FM and DAB radio
Poor Signal Strength - If the sound suers from
interference or continually cuts out, try the
following to improve reception:
1. Fully extend VHF antenna rods, adjust the
antenna angle and rotate the whole aerial .
2. Adjust Gain control to obtain the best picture.
3. Position aerial at a greater or lesser distance
from TV until optimum signal is received.
4. Check that the adaptor is properly connected
to and aerial.
