AUDIO CONNECTIONS
After unpacking the unit and placing it on a solid surface capable of
supporting its weight, you will need to make the connections to your
pre amplifier or integrated amplifier. These steps need to be done only
when the tuner is first installed.
AUDIO EQUIPMENT CONNECTIONS
We recommend that you use high-quality interconnect cables when
making connections to source equipment and recorders to preserve the
quality of the signals.
When making connections to audio source equipment it is always a
good practice to unplug the unit from the AC wall outlet. This prevents
any possibility of accidentally sending audio or transient signals to the
speakers that may damage them.
1 Connect the analogue output of the C445 to the tuner input of your
pre amplifier or integrated amplifier.
2 For DAB signals, connect the optical digital output of the C445 Tuner
to an optical digital audio input of your pre amplifier or integrated
amplifier, if available.
3 Assemble the AM Loop Antenna supplied with the unit as shown
below.
Connect it to the AM terminals.
4 Connect an FM Antenna to the FM Antenna connection. The FM
antenna may be an external roof antenna, an inside powered or wire
lead antenna or a connection from a cable system. Note that if the
antenna or connection uses 300-ohm twin-lead cable, you need to
use a 300-ohm-to-75-ohm adaptor to make the connection. The
supplied antenna is for indoor use only.
5 Connect a DAB Antenna to the DAB Antenna connection. The
supplied antenna is for internal use only. Fix it to the wall in a vertical
direction. The strength of the incoming signal can be shown on the
Information Display by pressing the Select button. The more segments
are visible in the lower display line, the stronger the signal. By changing
the position of the antenna, you can increase the signal strength. You
can also opt for an external antenna, available at your dealer.
For best reception place the unit as far as possible from sources of RF
emissions such as a television or computer. It should also be placed away
from contact with any metal object. In areas where signals are weak, an
outdoor antenna may improve sound and reception quality. Connect
the antenna making certain to also connect a ground wire to the GND
(ground) terminals.
DAB ANTENNA
DAB AND FM VHF EXTERNAL ANTENNA
When all connections are complete, plug the power cord into a non-
switched 230 Volt AC For best reception, place the antenna away from
wall outlet.
