7. Connecting an aerial
In order to check the correctness of connection of external equipment, for example a terrestrial

antenna, read the installation manual or hire a professional technician!

Good reception is conditional on the precise placement of the

antenna. Even the best antenna will cause reception problems if it is
incorrectly adjusted. Even slight placement errors may render

reception impossible or considerably impair image/sound quality.
Before installation make sure that the location is suitable. The

proper direction may be initially determined by making a
comparison with other antennas. There should be no objects

directly in front of the antenna, for these may block the signal from
reaching the bowl! Once you select an optimal location for the

antenna, fix and adjust it initially, and then proceed to a precise
adjustment. Each antenna is fitted with regulating screws that make

it possible to correct its vertical and horizontal placement.

Adjusting is somewhat more difficult in the case of digital tuners. You cannot perform

adjustments on the basis of the image, because this appears with a certain delay. What is more,
the indicators available in the settings menu also act with a delay, and therefore adjustment

may take considerable time and be very imprecise. An antenna signal meter will be
indispensable for setting up the antenna. The meter must be connected to the antenna cable

between the antenna and the receiver. We strongly recommend hiring a professional technician!
