■Simultaneous reception and recording cannot be used when the set-top box is connected and the above settings are made.

Using the TV TunerAntenna

■The quality of sounds and pictures greatly depends on the radio propagation conditions.

■When you use your computer in areas where the radio waves are weak, which results in poor radio receiving conditions, contact the dealer you purchased it from, or use a commercially available antenna booster. Please refer to the manual provided with the booster for details.

Connecting the Cable

This section describes how to connect the antenna cable to your computer.

Connecting the antenna cable

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.
