Hooking Up the System
Before you get started
• Turn off the power to all components before making
any connections.
• Do not connect the mains lead until all of the
connections are completed.
• Be sure to make connections firmly to avoid hum
and noise.
• When connecting an audio cord, be sure to match the
colour-coded pins to the appropriate jacks: White

AM aerial hookups
This section describes how to connect the supplied AM
loop aerial. For the specific location of the AM
ANTENNA terminals, see the illustration below.
AM ANTENNA
z When replace batteries
With normal use, the batteries should last for about six
months. When the remote no longer operates the tuner,
replace all the batteries with new ones.
Notes
• Do not leave the remote in an extremely hot or humid
place.
• Do not drop any foreign object into the remote casing,
particularly when replacing the batteries.

4 Adjust the aerial direction for the best reception.
The AM loop aerial has a directivity which detects
the signal from some angles more strongly than
others. Set the aerial to the orientation which
provides the best receiving condition.
If a high pitched noise (beat noise) occurs when
recording AM broadcasts, adjust the position of
the AM loop aerial so that the noise disappears.
If you live in a building constructed of reinforced
concrete, or with a steel frame, you may not be
able to achieve good reception since the radio
waves become weaker indoors. In this case, we
recommend connecting an optional aerial.
z For stations that are difficult to receive
Try repositioning the loop aerial while tuning. Placing
the supplied AM loop aerial near a window will help
improve reception quality.
Connect the supplied FM wire aerial or an FM outdoor
aerial (not supplied) to the FM terminal on the back of
this unit.

with a quality which is comparable from the current
AM broadcasts to that of CDs.
Each DAB station multiplex radio programmes
(services) into an ensemble which it then broadcasts.
Each service contains one or more components. All
services and components are identified by name, so
you can access any of them without having to know
their frequencies.
Furthermore, additional information (called
programme associated data) can be broadcast along
with the services in the form of text.

4 Ajustez l’orientation de l’antenne pour la
meilleure réception possible.
L’antenne boucle AM présente un gain qui détecte
mieux le signal de certains angles que d’autres.
Placez l’antenne dans le sens qui offre la meilleure
réception possible.
Si des sons aigus (son de battement) se produisent
lors de l’enregistrement d’émissions AM, réglez la
position de l’antenne AM de sorte que le bruit
disparaisse.
Si vous habitez dans un bâtiment en béton armé,
ou avec une structure d’acier, il se peut que vous
n’obteniez pas une bonne réception étant donné
que les ondes radio sont plus faibles à l’intérieur.
Dans ce cas, nous vous recommandons de
raccorder une antenne en option.
De quoi ai-je besoin?
• Antenne filaire FM (fournie) (1)
• Antenne extérieure FM (non fournie) (1) et câble coaxial
