Connecting Antennas
This section explains how to connect the supplied
indoor FM antenna and AM loop antenna, and how to
connect commercially available outdoor FM and AM
antennas.
The 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
outdoor 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
commercially available outdoor AM antenna (see page
18).
1
Attach the FM antenna, as shown.
Once the 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.
DAB antenna jack (R-1045DAB only)
AM antenna jack
FM 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 push terminals,
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 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 receiver, TV, speaker cables, and
power cords.
