Connecting Antennas
This section explains how to connect the supplied indoor
FM antenna, AM loop antenna, and DAB antenna, and
how to connect commercially available outdoor FM and
AM antennas.
The CD receiver won’t pick up any radio signals without
an antenna connected, so you must connect the antenna
to use the tuner.
Connecting the Indoor FM Antenna
The supplied indoor FM antenna is for indoor use only.
If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied
indoor FM antenna, try a commercially available out-
door FM antenna instead (see page 18).
Connecting the AM Loop Antenna
The supplied indoor AM loop antenna is for indoor use
only.
If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied
indoor AM loop antenna, try using it with a commer-
cially available outdoor AM antenna (see page 18).
1
Attach the FM antenna, as shown.
Once the CD receiver is ready for use, you’ll need
to tune into an FM radio station and adjust the
position of the FM antenna to achieve the best
possible reception.
2
Use thumbtacks or something similar to
fix the FM antenna into position.
Caution:
Be careful that you don’t injure yourself when using
thumbtacks.
AM ANTENNA push terminals
FM ANTENNA jack
DAB antenna jack
Insert the plug fully
into the jack.
Thumbtacks, etc.
1
Assemble the AM loop antenna, inserting
the tabs into the base, as shown.
2
Connect both wires of the AM loop
antenna to the AM ANTENNA push termi-
nals, as shown.
(The antenna’s wires are not polarity sensitive, so
they can be connected either way around).
Make sure that the wires are attached securely and
that the push terminals are gripping the bare
wires, not the insulation.
Once the CD receiver is ready for use, you’ll need
to tune into an AM radio station and adjust the
position of the AM antenna to achieve the best
possible reception.
Keep the antenna as far away as possible from the
CD receiver, TV, speaker cables, and power cords.
