Connecting an aerial

A suitable FM aerial must be

connected to the AVR600 before

FM radio can be received.
In strong signal areas, the FM

ribbon aerial supplied can be

used with reasonable results.

Mount this as high up as

possible on a wall with the top

of the ‘T’-elements positioned

vertically or horizontally, depending on the reception in

your area. Try each usable wall of the room to see which

gives best reception and use tacks or adhesive tape to

secure the aerial, but note that no tacks should come

into contact with the internal wire of the aerial.
When installed and receiving FM radio, check the signal

strength by pressing the front panel or remote control’s

inFo

button until the signal indicator is displayed.

In weak signal areas, or for optimal FM radio reception,

a roof- or loft-mounted aerial is advised as this will give

superior reception.
In some areas, cable radio may be available or, in an

apartment building, a distributed aerial system may

be installed. In either of these cases you should have

sockets in your home marked

VhF

(do not use

those marked

); these should be connected to the

coaxial connector on the rear of the AVR600.

Connecting an aerial

An AM aerial is required to

receive AM/medium wave radio

signals, so a simple loop aerial is

supplied with the AVR600. Follow

the assembly instructions in the

diagram below.
Make sure that the aerial is

positioned well away from the

AVR600 itself, TVs, computers

and other sources of RF ‘interference’. Rotate the aerial

to discover which position gives the best reception.

2. Push the tab into the open slot in the

base of the stand. Press until the tab

clicks home.

3. Connect the lead wires to the AM socket

at the rear of the AVR600 (the wires are

not polarised). Rotate the aerial’s stand

until you obtain the best reception.

1. Release the tie-wrap and unwind the

twisted lead. Fold the plastic stand

forward through the loop frame.
