1.4 Connecting up your PVR 9
need to use the RF OUT connector on your PVR; we shall de- scribe how to do that shortly.
1.4.1 Connecting the aerial to your PVR
Whatever sort of connection you have between the PVR and the TV, you need to connect the PVR to your television aerial so that it can receive digital TV channels.
Note that in some areas, you may need to upgrade your aerial to ensure that you receive digital television broadcasts — good reception of existing analogue signals is no guarantee of good digital reception.
The first connection you should make is to connect a cable from your TV aerial to the ANT 1 connector on the back of the PVR.
However your PVR is connected to the TV, you must ensure that there is a connection to both the ANT1 and ANT2 con- nectors on your PVR, so that both tuners work properly. Nor- mally, you do that by using the supplied loop cable to link from RF LOOP1 OUT to ANT 2.
However, if you are in a weak signal area, or are using a signal amplifier with more than one output, you may achieve better results by connecting a cable from the aerial or amplifier di- rectly to the ANT2 connector, rather than using the loop cable.
1.4.2 Connecting the PVR to your TV using a SCART or AV cable
For best results with a standard television set, you should use the supplied SCART cable, plugging one end into the TV SCART socket on the PVR, and the other end into a free SCART socket on your television.
If you have more than one SCART connector on your televi- sion, you should choose one with ‘RGB’ (Red, Green, Blue) support, since it can give a better picture. You may wish to
