Notes:
1.For Australia, the BANDWIDTH should be 7MHz.
2.The PRIORITY should be set to “HIGH” for Australia.
3.SIGNAL LEVEL refers to the input RF signal strength as perceived by the recorder. Note that too strong a signal may cause erroneous readings. If you use an antenna booster and find that you still get a low signal level, your booster gain may be set too high. In this case, adjust the gain accordingly. You may also see the OSD “Bad or No Signal” or “Weak Signal” when the signal level is low.
QUALITY refers to the quality of the received digital signal. A high value of quality means that there are few errors in the signal. In the same way, a low value of quality implies that there are a large number of errors in the signal, which may cause distortions in video and audio.
