If you set this unit’s input source to “Phono” and you accidentally increase the volume without having a turntable connected, you may hear a hum noise
from the speakers.

NOTE

The earth terminal (SIGNAL GND) of this unit is not for safety grounding

DAB/FM indoor antenna

(supplied)

Contents Connections Playback Settings Tips Appendix

Connecting a DAB/FM antenna

After connecting the antenna and receiving a DAB signal, find the position
at which the reception is best using the “Tuning Aid” function, then fix the
antenna with tape at that position. Please follow the instruction “Checking
the reception intensity of stations (Tuning Aid)” (v p. 65) to achieve the
best result.

.

For best results with the supplied indoor antenna, orient the antenna along a wall

0

such that it is stretched out horizontally and parallel to the floor (but above the
floor), and then fasten the two end tabs to the wall. This type of antenna is
directional and best results will be obtained when it is correctly oriented toward the
transmitting location.

For example, if the transmission tower is to the north, then the two ends of the

0

antenna (with the tabs) should be stretched toward west and east.
If you are unable to receive a good broadcast signal, we recommend installing an

0

outdoor antenna. For details, inquire at the retail store where you purchased the
unit.
