CONNECTING THE MEDIAMASTER
Note the following:
• In some block of flats, the roof-mounted aerial system includes a filter and chan-
nel selector. If so, the aerial will probably not work with the Mediamaster, in
which case you should contact your landlord.
•Many older roof-mounted aerials may only receive a limited number of channels.
As a result, digital channels transmitted on higher frequencies are difficult or even
impossible to receive. The problem can be solved by replacing the roof aerial.
• Some outdoor aerials are directed towards an analogue transmitter. The aerial
must be directed towards a digital TV transmitter.
•It is not always advisable to position the aerial as high as possible. If problems
arise, experiment with different aerial heights.
2. Indoor and window-mounted aerials
This type of aerial may be enough if the reception conditions are very good. If an
indoor aerial is used, note the following:
• Use an aerial for UHF channels 21-69, e.g., a directional aerial.
•Place the aerial by the window and direct it towards the TV transmitter, if possi-
ble.
• An aerial that has an amplifier is recommended as it may provide a stronger sig-
nal.
• The strength of the TV signal varies according to reflections from buildings, etc.
The signal penetrates thick stone or concrete walls poorly. However, a wooden
building is not a big barrier for digital TV signals.
General
There are many different types of TVs, VCRs and other equipment that you can con-
nect to the Mediamaster.
In this manual, you will see some of the most common ways to connect your equip-
ment to it.
If you have problems with connecting your equipment and require assistance, con-
tact your dealer .
