Tilslutning til dit TV
The antenna supports connection to two TVs simultaneously without the need for an external splitter.
- Connect one end of the 40ft RG6 coaxial cable to the ANT port on the power control box.
- Connect the other end of the coaxial cable from the antenna to the ANT port on the power control box.
- Connect the power adapter to the AC Power Input on the control box and plug it into a standard electrical outlet.
- Connect coaxial cables from the TV1 and/or TV2 outputs on the control box to the antenna input (ANT/RF IN) on your television(s).
- If your TV does not have a built-in HDTV tuner, you will need a digital converter box. Connect the control box's TV output to the converter box's input, and then connect the converter box's output to your TV.
