Antenna Grounding and Safety Warning

1.Outdoor antennas and lead-in conductors from antenna to a building, should not cross over open conductors of electric light of power circuits.They should be kept away from all circuits to avoid the possibility of accidental contact.

2.Each conductor of a lead-in from an outdoor antenna should be connected with an antenna discharge unit. Antenna discharge units (or Lightning Arrestors) should be located outside the building or inside the building between the point of entrance of the lead-in and the TV, and as near as prac- tical to the entrance of the conductors to the building.

About the Design of Your Antenna

The design process of this antenna began in the very early days of DTV trans- mission, largely because of frustration with the selection of antennas on the mar- ket.The old antennas were all legacy technology from the 1950s. Popular think- ing of the early days of DTV transmitting was “radio waves have not changed so why should we use different antennas for DTV?” Radio waves have not changed but our transmission system and performance expectations have. We designed this antenna to be an integral part of the DTV transmission and reception chain. It is designed to maximize the strengths and minimize the weakness of the new ATSC system. It was designed to work with the DTV tuner and capture a more stable signal so the DTV tuner can do its job with a minimum of effort and cre- ate a razor sharp and stable picture on your DTV.This antenna was not designed by simulated theoretical physics; it was designed to work with the physics of the real world, the real world of changing weather, cities and mountains.This anten- na will work in areas where others completely fail or provide marginal results with part time reception.

Note: For final installation and connection of your anten- na, a dditional hardware may be required. Before starting assembly, please read through the instructions carefully to determine your specific requirements.

SDV9201K/17, SDV9201/17 specifications

The Philips SDV9201/17 and SDV9201K/17 are advanced indoor antennas designed to enhance the digital TV viewing experience. With their sleek and modern design, these antennas not only offer aesthetic appeal but also deliver high-performance capabilities that significantly improve signal reception.

One of the standout features of the Philips SDV9201 series is its ability to provide a wide range of channel reception. The antennas are engineered to receive VHF and UHF signals, ensuring that users have access to a broad spectrum of over-the-air channels. This flexibility allows viewers to enjoy local broadcasts without the need for a cable subscription.

In terms of technology, the Philips SDV9201/17 and SDV9201K/17 utilize a high-gain design that enhances signal strength, minimizing the potential for interruptions or pixelation during broadcasts. The built-in amplification technology plays a crucial role in boosting weaker signals, making these antennas particularly effective in areas where reception might be challenging due to distance from broadcast towers or physical obstructions.

Another notable characteristic of these antennas is their ease of installation. Philips has designed the SDV9201 series for straightforward setup, allowing users to quickly connect the antenna to their television and begin accessing channels. The included mounting options also provide flexibility in placement, whether on a tabletop or wall-mounted, ensuring optimal performance based on the user's environment.

The antennas are also equipped with a compact and lightweight design, making them easy to transport and relocate as needed. This portability ensures that users can experiment with different placements to find the optimal position for signal reception without hassle.

In conclusion, the Philips SDV9201/17 and SDV9201K/17 indoor antennas offer an excellent combination of performance, versatility, and design. With their high-gain reception capabilities and user-friendly installation process, they are ideal solutions for anyone looking to enhance their digital TV experience and enjoy a wide array of channels without the need for traditional cable services.
