To use an external AM and FM antenna, set the switch to ‘Ext.’. The switch
must be on ‘Int.’ when using the built-in telescoping antenna. Extend the
antenna to its full length for best reception.
Cable and Connection Options (see next page).
Connecting to Audio Equipment
Remove your MultiStream HD receiver from its base unit.
Re-connect POWER to the receiver and connect either the AUX OUT or
OPTICAL OUT to the input of your audio device. (Refer to the manufactur-
er's instructions on the device to determine the proper connection point.) You
can now listen to the radio through your stereo system.
Connecting to Vehicles
Connecting the MultiStream HD receiver to a car or boat stereo
requires a 12VDC car power adapter that plugs into the cigarette
lighter. Remove the receiver from the base unit. Connect the
12VDC adapter to POWER on the MultiStream HD receiver.
Do not use a power adapter rated higher than 12VDC.
Vehicles with AUX (RCA) Connections
Connect AUX Out on the Multistream HD to AUX LINE IN on the vehi-
cle’s radio. (See owner’s manual for details.) The Multistream HD will play
through your vehicle’s stereo speakers.
Vehicles with Cassette Players
You will need a cassette adapter. Connect the adapter to HEADPHONE on
the receiver and plug the cassette into your cassette player. (See your
owner’s manual for details.) The MultiStream HD will play through your vehi-
cle’s stereo speakers.
Vehicles without Cassette Players or RCA Connections
You will need a mobile FM transmitter. Connect the mobile FM transmitter to
the HEADPHONE connection on the MultiStream HD. (Refer to the manu-
facturer’s instructions for tuning the mobile FM transmitter.) The MultiStream
HD will play through your vehicle’s stereo speakers.
This device sends the signal to your vehicle’s radio antenna. It is the sound
quality of "regular" radio, but you will be able to access multiple streams.
Note: Some locations have too much FM congestion for this to work well.
Transportable
The MultiStream HD receiver can be removed from its base and
connected to audio equipment that accepts an input, including car
and boat radios. You can take it with you!
