to the ANT IN connector on the back of the receiver. Use a properly shielded antenna cable and
suitable connectors.
The ANT OUT connector allows you to loop the antenna signal to a second receiver or TV set.
Please consider that the looped signal might be too weak if you use an active antenna.
NOTE: If the signals at your location are too weak to receive proper
signals with an indoor antenna, we recommend using an outdoor
antenna which can be pointed towards the transmission tower.
Ask your local dealer for more information.

Fig. 6
The TV set shall be connected with the receiver using a good quality HDMI cable. This
connection gives the highest possible quality.
3.3 Connecting to TV with SCART cable
