Frequently Asked Questions - SDV5122P PHILIPS

How to connect the Philips SDV5122P antenna to my TV?

Connect the supplied coaxial cable to the ANT IN socket of your TV, then plug the antenna into a power outlet via the mains adapter.

Should I use the built-in amplifier?

The amplifier improves reception, especially if you are far from the transmitter. Set the switch to ON to activate amplification.

What is the range of the antenna?

The range depends on the environment, but it can pick up signals up to 30-50 km in clear conditions.

Can I use this antenna for FM radio?

No, the Philips SDV5122P antenna is designed only for VHF/UHF TV reception (DTT).

What to do if I don't receive all channels?

Try moving the antenna to a window or an upper floor. Activate the amplifier and restart an automatic channel search on the TV.

How to clean the SDV5122P antenna?

Unplug the antenna before any cleaning. Use a slightly damp soft cloth, without solvents. Avoid wetting the connectors.

Does the antenna work on the move (motorhome)?

Yes, it can be used indoors, but it requires mains power. For nomadic use, prefer a 12V model.

What to do if the antenna does not turn on?

Check that the mains adapter is properly plugged in and that the socket works. If the indicator does not light up, contact Philips after-sales service.

Can I replace the coaxial cable?

Yes, the cable is removable. Use a standard coaxial cable of type IEC 60728-4 with a female connector.

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

- Choose a location near a window which gives the antenna a clear view of the transmitter.

Note

- Place the antenna away from the metal surface to avoid interference.

Connect to the TV

1 Connect a coaxial cable to:

• the signal output of the antenna;
• the input on the TV receiver.

2 Connect the DC plug to the antenna and the power supply to a 100-240V AC outlet.

Note

- Ensure the antenna is placed on a flat surface.

4 Set up the SDV5122P

For UHF reception

1 Turn the TV to the desired channel/ station.
2 Position the UHF antenna horizontally or vertically.

Note

• To check the distance from the local TV broadcast transmitters to your location, visit www.antennaweb.org for more information.

Set up a digital tuner with this antenna

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 the TV:

• 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.

5 Frequently asked questions

Can this antenna work with Analogue transmissions?

Yes, this antenna can receive analogue television broadcasts in the UHF bandwidths.

Can this antenna receive digital or work with ATSC broadcasts?

Yes, this antenna is designed to receive ATSC and HDTV broadcasts in the UHF bandwidths.

Can the antenna be powered by a DC power supply in a boat, RV or camper?

Yes, there is a DC power socket located at the back of the antenna. Plug your cable/adapter into the antenna and then into your power source.

Where should I place the antenna in order to get the best reception possible?

Choose a location near a window which gives the antenna a clear view of the transmitter.

Note

- For best reception, place the antenna away from the metal surface to avoid interference.

How do I know how much gain (amplification) is required to receive a clear picture?

Turn on the amplifier. Turn the amplifier up to the max position and then reduce as needed. In some case, you need to turn the amplifier down to receive a clearer picture.

Can I set up this antenna with a digital tuner?

Yes, this antenna can be set up with a digital tuner. (see 'Set up a digital tuner with this antenna' on page 6)

7 Glossary

A

Amplifier

A device, either a single stage or a large scale circuit with multiple stages for creating gain, i.e. it makes small signals larger.

Antenna

A device, such as a rod or wire, which picks up a received radio frequency signal or radiates a transmitted RF signal.

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.

F

Female connector

A female connector is a connector attached to a wire, cable, or piece of hardware, having one or more recessed holes with electrical terminals inside, and constructed in such a way that a plug with exposed conductors (male connector) can be inserted snugly into it to ensure a reliable physical and electrical connection.

FM (Frequency Modulation)

In radio broadcasting: a method of modulation in which the frequency of the carrier voltage is varied with the frequency of the modulation voltage.

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.

M

Male connector

A male connector is a connector attached to a wire, cable, or piece of hardware, having one or more exposed, unshielded electrical terminals, and constructed in such a way that it can be inserted snugly into a receptacle (female connector) to ensure a reliable physical and electrical connection.

U

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).
