Connecting And Operating The Receiver; Connections - Lemon 020-T Manual

4. Connecting and operating the receiver

4.1 Connections

Your digital receiver provides a multitude of possible connections to other appliances. Here we list the
most important options available.
4.1.1 Connection to the terrestrial antenna
The digital receiver is connected directly to a terrestrial antenna on the ANTENNA IN connector (see page
4, connections on the rear panel item 8). , by means of a coaxial cable. This connection must be done
while the receiver is switched off.
4.1.2 Connection to the TV set
Digital receivers and TV sets are usually connected by means of a Scart cable. Simply connect the two
ends of the cable with the main socket on the TV set and with the TV socket on the receiver, respectively.
The Scart connection ensures that audio and video signals are transmitted to the TV set in optimum quality.
If your TV set is not equipped with a Scart socket: the receiver is also optionally obtainable fitted with a
built-in HF modulator. In this case, use an antenna (coaxial) cable to connect the RF output of the receiver
(socket "RF OUT") with the antenna input socket of the TV set. In this case, it is also necessary to connect
together the RF LOOP OUT connector to the RF LOOP IN connector using a coaxial cable.
The digital TV programme currently being received is converted in the receiver to a UHF channel (channel
selectable via the installation menu), and is transmitted to the TV set via the antenna cable. The antenna
cable previously connected to the TV set should now be connected to the ANTENNA input socket of the
receiver (socket "ANTENNA IN"). In this way, the terrestrial antenna connection is looped through the
receiver. If you also have a video recorder connected to the terrestrial antenna cable, this terrestrial antenna
connection should run first from the receiver to the video recorder, and only from there to the TV set. As
in this case the audio and video signals have to be modulated for high-frequency transmission on a UHF
channel, signal quality is a little worse than when connection is made via a Scart cable.
4.1.3 Connection to a video recorder
Just as the TV set, the video recorder is connected to the receiver via a Scart connection. Use the "VCR"
socket for this purpose.
4.1.4 Connection to a hi-fi system
The audio quality of digital TV and radio programmes can be enjoyed even more when reproduced through
a hi-fi system. To do this, use a RCA cinch stereo cable to connect the sockets marked "Audio L/R" on
the receiver to one of the inputs of your hi-fi system marked either "Line", "Aux", "Spare" or "Extra".
The receiver is also equipped with optical and electrical digital audio outputs, "Optical Digital Output" and
"Video/electrical digital audio" connectors. These can be used in order to connect the receiver to hi-fi
system supporting digital audio inputs.
