Some parameters are important for the picture quality, the bit rates, the resolution and the reception of the transmitted DVB-T signals. Bit rate The bit rates is fixed by the TV broadcaster and can be different between each TV program. Also the different TV broadcaster define the bit rate different to each others. If you see by watching DVB-T strong mosaics structures, artefacts or an un sharp picture, than you can try to increase the Signal strength and Signal quality by searching a better position of the indoor aerial. Maybe you can try also to change a passive indoor aerial to an active indoor aerial. But, if you can realizes optimal condition by receiving the DVB-T signals and you have anymore the artefacts or mosaics structures, than is the transmitted bit rates to low. In Germany for example the values are very different by the bit rates: ZDF 2700 until 4500 kbps ARD 2000 until 4500 kbps HR 1800 until 3500 kbps Private TV Stations 1800 until 2700 kbps If the bit rate is higher, than the picture quality is mostly better and the picture is more than less by artefacts or mosaic structures. Resolution The second influence by the picture quality is the transmitted resolution. If the resolution is higher than you can see a more sharper picture. For example: ARD / ZDF 720x576 or 704x576 (that’s PAL Full D1 resolution) Other 544x576or 528x576

Receiving Condition If you see by the information Signal strength and Signal quality some low values, you can try to find another antenna position to increases the reception quality. Visible indicators for a worst reception of the DVB-T signals is for example the a freeze picture or the message “No Signal”. The reception quality depends for example on the kind of the antenna. Three different kind of antenna are available, the passive and active indoor aerial and the roof antenna. Realign your indoor aerial in this way, that you get the best reception as possible. Helpfully it to know in which direction are the public antenna power and than you can adjust the antenna to this direction. If a passive indoor aerial can not receive the DVB-T signal strong enough, please try an active indoor aerial. The best reception results are by the roof antenna possible.50 HTL 2231D English Specifications Model HTL 2231D Screen Size 21.5 Inch (54.8 cm) Resolution 1920 x 1080 Pixel Aspect Ratio 16:9 Brightness 250 cd / sqm Contrast 1000:1 Reaction Time 3.5 ms LCD Backlight LED Edge Viewing Angle 160° (vertical) / 170° (horizontal) TV System PAL BG / DK / I or SECAM BG / DK / L / L‘ Audio System NICAM / A2 Connectors HDMI Standard TMDS max. 1080p Y Pb Pr Y: 1 V p-p // Pb und Pr: 0,7 V p-p CVBS Y: 1,0 V p-p +/- 3 dB SCART RGB: 1,0 V p-p 75 Ohm VGA Resolution 640 x 480 / 800 x 600 / 1024 x 768 with 60 Hz Antenna Input RF Antenna Plug, 75 Ohm Speaker Max. 2 x 3 Watts Power AC 100 - 240 V by 50/60 Hz DC 12 V by max. 3.3 A Power Consumption Max. 38 Watt / < 1 Watt Stand-By Dimension 530 x 383 x 200 mm with Stand 530 x 383 x 80 mm without Stand Weight 3.6 kg with Stand Pixel Error Bright Pixel ≤ 0 Dark Pixel (Dark Dot) ≤ 4 Bright + Dark Pixel ≤ 4 Line Defects No Differences in Brightness (Mura) NoHTL 2231D 51 EnglishHTL 2231D 3 Français CONTENU
