ENGLISH 4.3 Setting up a digital tuner with this antenna Digital TV tuners require you to program the tuner with the available channels in your area. Generally this automatic process is part of the set-up of the tuner. However, if you do not have the antenna set up properly you may find that the tuner receives no viewable channels. If you have access to a rooftop antenna or another antenna which is currently connected to a digital tuner you may use the antenna to program the tuner. The channels will be memorized in the tuner - which will make aligning this antenna easier. Another method is to connect the antenna directly to your TV (not using the tuner) and tune to analog channels to find best location of the antenna, then re-connect the digital tuner - if you have adequate signal level you should be able to program the tuner. D Note For best reception you should also avoid placing the antenna on a metal surface which may cause interference. How do I know how much gain (amplification) is required to receive a clear picture? Once you have the VHF dipoles extended to the longest length turn on the amplifier. It is easiest to start with the maximum gain and then reduce as needed. In some cases you may receive a clearer picture with less gain than the maximum setting. Can I set this antenna up with a digital tuner? Yes, this antenna can be set up with a digital tuner. See section 4.3 of your user manual. 6 Warranty & Service Warranty information can be found at: 5 Frequently asked questions www.philips.com/welcome Will this antenna work with Analog transmissions?
