IMPORTANT NOTESImportant NotesSTB LocationThis unit can be used as part of an entertainment center. Consult your dealer foravailable options.[] Avoid excessive sunlight or bright lights.[] Keep away from excessive heat or moisture. Inadequate ventilation may cause internalcomponent failure.[] Fluorescent lighting may reduce Remote Control transmitting range.Connecting CablesComponent video cables (Y, PB, PR) are provided for connection to a DTV-compatiblemonitor/receiver. Shielded audio and video cables (not provided) should be used for allother connections between components. F_r best results:[] Use 75 Ohm coaxial shielded cables.[] Check type of output and input connectors on your components.[] Determine required cable lengths.AC Power Supply CordCAUTION: TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK, MATCH WIDE BLADEOF PLUG TO WIDE SLOT OF AC OUTLET AND FULLY INSERT. DONOT USE A PLUG WITH A RECEPTACLE OR OTHER OUTLETUNLESS THE BLADE CAN BE FULLY INSERTED TO PREVENTBLADE EXPOSURE.Polarized PlugAntenna Installation and OrientationYagi[][]Log Periodic []] Reflector []In many areas, an indoor antenna can be used to received DTV signals. Certainconditions, however, may create a situation where an outdoor antenna is required. Tallbuildings, large metal objects (e.g., a water tower) or hills may block the line-of-sight tothe "IV station and interfere with DTV signal reception. Keep the following in mindwhen installing and orienting your outdoor antenna. For additional information aboutantennas, see the Consumer Electronics Manufacturing Association (CEMA) websiteat www.cemacity.org or ask your local dealer.Choose an antenna with directional receiving characteristics such as a Yagi, log periodic, orreflector antenna. Avoid loop, wire bowtie, rabbit-ear and omni-directional antennas.Use good grade 75 Ohm coax (round) cable to connect the antenna to the STB. Do not use300 Ohm flat twin-lead cable.Place the antenna away from large metal objects. If using an indoor antenna, rememberthat aluminum siding and foil-covered insulation can greatly reduce the signal strengthinside your house.Point the antenna in the direction of the TV station. Allow a 4-6 second delay in tuning.Watch for a program to appear on the TV. If the signal indicator is "NOT FOUND" or if aprogram comes and goes, try a slightly different position for the antenna. Slowly raising orlowering the antenna by a few feet may help.Avoid standing in front of the antenna while adjusting its position. Move a few feet to therear to avoid changing the signal characteristics.If you are located in an area serviced by two (2) different DTV stations in different directions,you may need an antenna rotator to receive signals from both stations.
