■ Some computer models are equipped with a tuner capable of receiving
digital broadcasts. These tuners can receive DVB-T digital broadcasts.
Digital broadcasts cannot be received in regions where DVB-T digital
broadcasts are not available.
■ Simultaneous reception and recording cannot be used when a set-top
box is connected and the above settings are made.
■ According to the government regulations, it is not permitted to bring
PAL/SECAM TV tuners into Korea.
When lightning occurs, do not touch the antenna line. This may cause an
electric shock.
If you have to operate your computer during a thunderstorm and are
connecting the TV tuner to an outside antenna, you should operate your
computer using AC power mode. The AC adaptor offers some protection
against (but does not entirely prevent) possible electric shock caused by
lightning. For complete protection, do not operate your computer during a
thunderstorm.
When you have been using a descrambler to receive the programs on
cable TV or satellite broadcasting, connect the set-top box and splitter to
the coaxial cable and the antenna cable.
