Connection
Connection

Connection
Antenna input
Connect an external DVB-T antenna
(cable) connector to the antenna RF IN.
The signal in the block cable antenna
can fail to contain DVB-T/T2 signal due to the
carrier frequency altered by the cable network
operator.
In order to receive digital air TV signal
use an indoor or outdoor UHF antenna. Specify
the possibility and quality of digital air signal
with your local digital TV service providers. The
absence of a stable TV signal in your area cannot be a reason for returns or refunds without
an additional test of TV signal reception in your
area.
To increase the reception quality of
the state digital air television in rural areas or
at significant distances from a broadcasting
center we recomment using individual active
outdoor UHF antennae with a high resistance
factor, and placing them at maximum possible
heights.
RF LOOP output
Connect the output RF LOOP jack to TV's
antenna input using a special adapter (not
included) for supplying an analog TV signal.
HDMI-out
If your TV has an HDMI video input,
connect it to an HDMI output of this unit using
a special HDMI cable (not included).
Coaxial output
Connect the coaxial digital audio output to
the input of an amplifier to transmit the audio
signal to the amplifier using a special coaxial
cable (not included).
Stereo audio output
Connect the left (white) and right (red)
terminal of the stereo audio output to the
corresponding audio inputs on your TV using

4

the supplied RCA-type cable.

Composite video (CVBS) output
Connect the yellow video output to the
composite video input on your TV using
the included RCA cable for transmitting the
composite video signal.
