FM
Once your antennas have been connected it may be necessary to orient the AM loop
antenna so the flat surface of the loop antenna faces the metropolitan area from
which the broadcast signals originate. This is particularly necessary when signals are
weak. If you are not aware of the source or direction of the signals to which you will
listen, simply rotate the loop antenna in clear space for maximum signal strength.
The supplied antenna has a folding stand that allows you to place the antenna on a
flat surface.
The recommended FM antenna is an outdoor type commonly available in electronics
stores. Use of the supplied indoor FM antenna is recommended only if you cannot
use an outdoor antenna. Outdoor antennas are particularly important in rural areas,
some distance from FM radio signal sources. The FM antenna supplied with your

tuner is a T-type and it should be stretched horizontally in space that is as clear as
possible. Some reorientation may be necessary if signals in your area are weak. Best
results can usually be achieved if the length of the antenna faces the metropolitan
area from which the FM signals you wish to receive originate. The supplied antenna
has a fitting at its end that will enable you to fasten it in place.
SIRIUS
For correct operation and best reception of the SIRIUS signal, it is important that the
antenna is located in a place where it will have a clear view of the SIRIUS satellites
in the sky. Obstructions such as bushes, trees, other homes or buildings, overhangs,
soffits, chimneys, gables, dormers, etc., will impair or prevent the antenna from
receiving a signal.
The best reception is obtained if the antenna is located outside and where the pod
portion of the antenna (where the SIRIUS logo is printed) has a clear 360 degree
view of the sky.
If you cannot obtain a clear 360 degree view of the sky outdoors or you will be
locating the antenna indoors, you will need to place the antenna in a window (or
outdoor location) which has a clear view of the sky in the direction of the satellites
and aim the antenna in the direction of the satellites, as shown in the diagram below.
Use the map in the diagram to find the area in which you are located (1 to 5). Then
find the direction in which you need to have a window (or outdoor location) with a
clear view of the sky:
Area 1: You will need a window/location with a clear view of the sky facing EAST
or NORTHEAST or SOUTHEAST.
Area 2: You will need a window/ location with a clear view of the sky facing
NORTH or NORTHEAST.
Area 3: You will need a window/ location with a clear view of the sky facing
NORTH or NORTHWEST.
Area 4: You will need a window/ location with a clear view of the sky facing
WEST or NORTHWEST or SOUTHWEST.
Area 5: You will need a window/ location with a clear view of the sky facing
STRAIGHT UP (antenna cannot be located indoors).
For example, suppose you live in Area 2. You determined that your antenna will
need to have a window (or outdoor location) with a clear view of the sky facing
Operations & Installation Guide – DOC. 6463 AM/FM/SR Tuner Card: ATC-AMFMSR • 9
AM/FM/SR Tuner Card Crestron Adagio™ ATC-AMFMSR
North or Northeast. The exact direction is determined by your specific location in
Area 2 relative to the X on the map; if you live in Texas, you will need a more North
facing clear view of the sky whereas if you live in southern California, you will need
a more Northeast facing clear view of the sky.
In major US cities, you may be able to receive the SIRIUS signal from the SIRIUS
ground repeaters, which would allow you to place the antenna away from a window
if the signal is strong enough.
If the tuner has not yet been subscribed, be sure to set the tuner to the preview
channel. If the antenna is connected but the signal is weak, the message “Acquiring
Signal” will be displayed on the AES front panel.
When you have installed the antenna in a suitable location, check the signal strength
display of your SIRIUS-ready receiver to verify that you are receiving a suitable
signal. For instructions on how to access the signal strength display, refer to the
latest version of the Adagio AES Operations Guide (Doc. 6456). If the signal is weak
or the tuner loses reception at times, this is indication that the antenna is not aimed in
the optimal direction. Try adjusting the antenna by changing the orientation in small
increments to see if you can obtain better signal reception.
The following antennas are supplied with your AM/FM/SR Tuner Card:
