Panasonic TU-HDS20 User Manual

H Use good grade 75 Ohm coax (round) cable to connect the antenna to the HDTV Digital

Receiver.  Do not use 300 Ohm flat twin-lead cable.

H Place the antenna away from large metal objects.  If using an indoor antenna, remember

that aluminum siding and foil-covered insulation can greatly reduce the signal strength
inside your house.

H Point the antenna in the direction of the TV station.  Allow a 4-6 second delay in tuning.

Watch for a program to appear on the TV.  If the signal indicator is “NOT FOUND” or if a
program comes and goes, try a slightly different position for the antenna.  Slowly raising or
lowering the antenna by a few feet may help.

H Avoid standing in front of the antenna while adjusting its position.  Move a few feet to the

rear to avoid changing the signal characteristics.

H If you are located in an area serviced by two (2) different DTV stations in different

directions, you may need an antenna rotator to receive signals from both stations.

Antenna Connection
For proper reception of VHF/UHF channels, a directional antenna is required (see
previous page). For best reception, an outdoor antenna is recommended.
Procedure

H Connect the antenna cable from your antenna.
H Select ANTENNA, in the Roller Guide Menu™* SET UP Menu under Input (see Getting

Started section, Step 6). 

Cable Connection
Before connecting your cable to the HDTV Digital Receiver, contact your local cable
provider and ask the following question:

•

Do you need a separate cable box to receive cable channels in your area?

H Connect the cable wire provided by your local cable provider.
H Select one of the following in the Roller Guide Menu™ SET UP Menu under Ant/Cable

Input (see Getting Started section, Step 7).
