DVB-T DIGITAL TV RECEPTION NOTES (AUSTRALIA) Utilising the latest in DVB-T tuning technology, this 7 portable digital TV will give you crystal clear images and has been tuned to receive all available free to air digital television signals broadcast in Australia (and other countries) subscribing to the DVB-T channel spectrum. However being a portable device (with relatively less power than a set top box or home digital television), reception for this device is best when in metropolitan areas or places of known good reception. For indoor use, we recommend using the MCX to IEC adaptor or placing the device near a window. Trying to use the device to watch TV whilst travelling (in a car, train, bus, etc) is not recommended however watching content from a USB stick or SD memory card will have no problem.

We recommend Freemake is easy to use and the file conversions have been tested to work with this device.. If you are unsure how to tackle file conversation or you have never done it before, we recommend that you have a few trial runs of the software so you can become familiar with the terminology and processes. Following are some notes that may help you on your way: 1. Once you have installed Freemake and it is operating correctly, open the program and select the file you wish to convert using the icons at the top of the screen. 2. Once selected, the confirmation screen will allow you to check that you have selected the correct file. 3. Then select the AVI icon from the list at the bottom of the screen. Locate it by using the left and right arrows if needed. 4. Select DVD quality in the preset field, the save-to location for the file, and then press the convert button 5. After a short period (a progress bar will appear) a confirmation screen will appear to advise if your conversation was successful. The file is now ready to use. 11
