Digital broadcast

Digital broadcasts cannot be received.

¾Digital broadcast may not have started in your region yet.

¾The aerial may not be pointing in the direction of the TV station, or the direction of the aerial may have changed due to strong winds or vibration. If problem persists consult your local TV aerial installer.

After DVB Auto Setup only some or no DVB channels are found.

¾Check to ensure your area is covered by DVB transmissions.

¾Check that the aerial and antenna cable are designed for DVB. For your safety, the aerial and cable should be inspected/ installed by a licenced installer that should comply with Australian Standard AS1417.1.

If you live within 5-10 km of DVB transmission towers, a combined VHF/UHF aerial should be adequate. Outside this area, separate VHF and UHF aerials provide superior reception performance. (> 8)

¾If you live in a unit or apartment, check to ensure the Master Antenna TV (MATV) system is designed for analogue and DVB- T reception. Please consult your body corporate.

Picture regularly breaks up on some channels. “No Signal” message is displayed.

¾Check “Signal Condition”. If “Signal Quality” or “Signal Strength” are displayed in red or constantly changing, check aerial. If problem persists consult your local TV aerial installer. (> 60)

¾Check that the aerial and antenna cable are designed for DVB. For your safety, the aerial and cable should be inspected/ installed by a licenced installer that should comply with Australian Standard AS1417.1. (> 8)

¾Interference (known as impulse noise) from household appliances such as light switches, fridges etc. may cause picture break up and/or audio distortion. Use a high quality quad shielded coaxial cable fly lead between this unit and antenna wall socket to minimise impulse noise pickup. If problem persists consult your local TV aerial installer.

¾Check aerial connection.

¾Adjust the aerial reception with “DVB Manual Tuning” in the Setup menu. (> 59)

Picture very infrequently breaks up on some or all channels.

¾Electrical atmospheric interference caused by local or distant lighting storms or heavy rain with wind in “leafy” locations may cause pictures to break up and audio to mute or distort momentarily.

¾Impulse noise interference from an infrequently used electrical appliance, or a passing vehicle or lawn mower with a “noisy” ignition system.
