Connecting Antennas—Continued

Connecting the DAB Antenna

Connecting an Outdoor FM Antenna

If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied
indoor FM antenna, try a commercially available out-
door FM antenna instead.

Notes:
• Outdoor FM antennas work best outside, but usable

results can sometimes be obtained when installed in
an attic or loft.

• For best results, install the outdoor FM antenna well

away from tall buildings, preferably with a clear line
of sight to your local FM transmitter.

• Outdoor antenna should be located away from possi-

ble noise sources, such as neon signs, busy roads, etc.

• For safety reasons, outdoor antenna should be situated

well away from power lines and other high-voltage
equipment.

• Outdoor antenna must be grounded in accordance

with local regulations to prevent electrical shock haz-
ards.

Using a TV/FM Antenna Splitter
It’s best not to use the same antenna for both FM and TV
reception, as this can cause interference problems. If cir-
cumstances demand it, use a TV/FM antenna splitter, as
shown.

Connecting an Outdoor AM Antenna

If good reception cannot be achieved using the supplied
AM loop antenna, an outdoor AM antenna can be used
in addition to the loop antenna, as shown.

Outdoor AM antennas work best when installed horizon-
tally outside, but good results can sometimes be obtained
indoors by mounting horizontally above a window. Note
that the AM loop antenna should be left connected.
Outdoor antenna must be grounded in accordance with
local regulations to prevent electrical shock hazards.

1

Screw the supplied DAB antenna’s plug
onto the DAB ANTENNA jack.
Once the CD Receiver is ready for use, you’ll
need to tune into a DAB station and adjust the
position of the DAB antenna to achieve the best
possible reception.

2

Use thumbtacks or something similar to
fix the DAB antenna into position.
