New Station Search - Sharp Aquos LC-26GD7E Operation Manual

First installation
6. Enter the appropriate channel number with the numeric buttons.
The corresponding bandwidth 7 or 8 MHz is set depending on the
channel and country.
:
Notes
• You should only adapt the bandwidth if the channel spacing of the
stations in your area deviate from the standard.
• If you receive a digital station, the signal quality ("C/N") and the
signal strength level is displayed by a black bar/numeric value.
• The antenna alignment or position is at an optimum when as high
a value as possible (large bar) is displayed for the signal quality
and signal strength.
• The antenna should be aligned to give a maximum numeric
value/bar.
• If no signal is found in the set channel, you can start the frequency
search within the selected band (VHF or UHF) by pressing the blue
button.
7. Check other channels on which digital stations are broadcast terrestri-
ally in your area one after another.
Align the antenna using the weakest station to as maximum as possib-
le a bar/numeric value.
Note: After the antenna has been positioned and aligned, we recommend
the "Automatic station programming" function to search for all stations
(see page 11).

• To extend an existing station list we recommend you to activate
the option search and store "new ones only".
• For DVB-T stations in UK the stations are tied to "Logical Channel

without "LCN" are stored from 800 onwards. Analogue stations
are stored behind the digital ones from 1001 onwards.

tions sorted in numerical order.
If you also want to search for and store analogue stations, repeat the
steps 5 to 10.
After the station search has been completed, close the table by pressing
