for reception, but the availability of Digital Signals does depend on the transmitter(s)
available to your receiving aerial. If you have any doubt about this availability, please
contact your dealer, or check the following internet websites:-

In order that you may enjoy this product for a long time it is important that you observe the
following points when installing and operating your receiver
●This receiver is intended for the reception of TV picture and sound signals. Any other
application is expressly prohibited.
●Avoid the long-term display of static images, e.g. menus or audio only channels.
●Do not expose the receiver to any moisture. The receiver is intended for use in dry rooms.

moisture (rain, splashes, etc.).
●Do not place any object filled with water (vases or similar) on the receiver.

the receiver.
●If placed in an enclosed unit, the all-round distance between the receiver and the sides of
