3 Get started  
To ensure the antenna to work properly, read  
the user manual of your television before you  
start. Set the television so that it receives the  
signal from an ANTENNA instead of CABLE or  
SATELLITE.  
Installation  
Determine the signal strength  
Before Installation, determine the best  
location for optimum reception. It is important  
for the antenna to have an unobstructed path  
to the transmitter. For best results, ensure the  
antenna faces the location of the transmitter.  
Note  
Ensure you position your antenna on a flat surface.  
Note  
Choose a location near a window which gives the  
antenna a clear view of the transmitter.  
4 Set up SDV2125T  
Note  
Place the antenna away from the metal surface to  
avoid interference.  
ForVHF reception  
1 Extend the VHF rod antenna to the  
longest possible length.  
Connect to theTV  
1 One end of the coaxial cable is already  
connected to the signal output of the  
antenna.  
2 Connect the other end to the input on  
the TV receiver.

org for more information.  
For UHF reception  
1 Turn the TV to the desired channel/  
station.  
Set up a digital tuner with this  
antenna  
2 Tilt or swivel the UHF loop antenna  
towards the transmitter until the  
reception is achieved.  
You can install available channels with the digital  
TV tuner.This automatic process is part of the  
setup of the tuner. Ensure the antenna has  
set up properly before the tuner can receive  
viewable channels.  
There are two ways to connect the antenna to  
theTV:  
Connect the antenna to a digital tuner.  
If the signal strength is good enough, the  
channels can be memorized in the tuner  
automatically .  
Connect the antenna directly to the TV.  
Tune to the analogue channels and find the  
best antenna location. Then re-connect  
the antenna to the digital tuner. Ensure the  
signal strength is good enough before you  
install the channels with the tuner.

7 Glossary  
H
HDTV (High-Definition Television)  
It is a digital television broadcasting system  
with higher resolution than traditional  
television systems (standard-definition TV,  
or SDTV). HDTV is digitally broadcast;  
the earliest implementations used analog  
broadcasting, but today digital television  
(DTV) signals are used, requiring less  
bandwidth due to digital video compression.  
A
Antenna  
A device, such as a rod or wire, which picks up  
a received radio frequency signal or radiates a  
transmitted RF signal.  
ATSC (Advanced Television Systems  
Committee)  
U
The Advanced Television Systems Committee,  
Inc., is an international, non-profit organization  
developing voluntary standards for digital  
television. The high definition television  
standards defined by the ATSC produce wide  
screen 16:9 images up to 1920x1080 pixels  
in size -- more than six times the display  
resolution of the earlier standard. However,  
many different image sizes are also supported,  
so that up to six standard-definition “virtual  
channels” can be broadcast on a single 6 MHz  
TV channel.  
UHF (Ultra high frequency)  
In radio or TV broadcasting: it is the frequency  
range of electromagnetic waves which lies  
between 300 MHz and 3 GHz (3000 MHz).  
V
VHF (Very high frequency)  
In radio or TV broadcasting: it is the frequency  
range of electromagnetic waves which lies  
between 30 MHz and 300 MHz.  
C
Coaxial  
A single copper conductor, surrounded with  
a layer of insulation, covered by a surrounding  
copper shield and finally, an insulating jacket.  
An unbalanced transmission line with constant  
impedance. In audio, this type is commonly  
used for low level, line signals terminated in  
RCA connectors.
