For more information about digital broadcasting, visit www.dba.org.au/

≥

Check that the aerial and antenna cable are designed for DVB.

Use the included RF coaxial cable shown in STEP 1, Connections “A” or “B”.
For your safety, the aerial and cable should be inspected/installed by a licenced installer that
should comply with Australian Standard AS1417.1.
If you live within 5-10 km of DVB transmission towers, a combined VHF/UHF aerial should be
adequate. Outside this area, separate VHF and UHF aerials provide superior reception
performance.

If you live in a unit or apartment, check to ensure the Master Antenna TV (MATV) system is

designed for analogue and DVB-T reception. Please consult your body corporate. For more
