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 to o 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 qualit y implies that there are a large
number of errors in the signal, which may cause distortions in video a nd audio.

SNR

is the signal-to-noise ratio. A high SNR value means that you have a reasonabl y good
reception (good signal level and good quality).
