Directing DVB-T antenna

Note: not with DVB-T stations in UK.
If you use a room antenna to receive one or more DVB-T stations that have
picture and sound interference, then you should change the location of where
the antenna is set up.
To help you direct your antenna or to help you determine the most suitable
location to set up the antenna, your TV set has a display for the signal quality
C/N and the signal strength Level.
Consult your specialist dealer to fi nd out which channels and frequency bands
(VHF or UHF) are used to broadcast the digital TV stations in your area.
On any one channel, several digital stations are broadcast.

5. For digital stations, select "Signal source – DVB-T".
6. Use the numerical buttons to specify the corresponding channel number.
Depending on the channel selected and country, the system automatically
sets the corresponding bandwidth of 7 or 8 MHz. You should only change
the bandwidth under special circumstances - if the channel raster in your
area is different from the standard.
When you receive a digital station, the system displays the signal quality C/
N via a bar/numeric value and the signal strength via Level. The antenna's
direction or position is best when the largest values possible are displayed
(long bar) for the signal quality and signal strength.
7. Direct the antenna so that the largest numerical value/bar size is reached.
8. If no signal is found in the channel set, you can start the frequency search
run by pressing the blue button within the band selected (VHF or UHF).
9. Check the other channels one after another on which digital stations are
broadcast terrestrially in your area.
For the weakest station, direct the antenna so that the maximum numerical
value/bar size is achieved.
10. After you position or direct the antenna, we recommend to search for all the
stations using the "Search wizard"
(TV menu – Settings – Channels – Search wizard).

Switching on/off

Your TV is equipped with an eco-standby power supply unit. On standby,
the power consumption drops to low power. If you want to save even more
electricity, switch the set off with the mains switch. However, please bear in
mind that EPG data (electronic programme guide) will be lost and programmed
timer recordings will not be performed by the TV.
Switching off

the blue ON/OFF button on the remote control or by using the
indicator fi eld on the set. The red lamp on the TV set lights up.
If the orange indicator lights up or if both the green and red

is being made, EPG data is being captured or radio operation
without screen display is active.
