Connecting Antennas

Connecting an Outdoor FM Antenna
If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied
indoor FM antenna, try a commercially available
outdoor FM antenna instead.
Notes
• Outdoor FM antennas work best outside, but usable
results can sometimes be obtained when installed in
anattic or loft.
• For best results, install the outdoor FM antenna well
away from tall buildings, preferably with a clear line
of sight to your local FM transmitter.
• Outdoor antenna should be located away from
possible noise sources, such as neon signs, busy
roads, etc.
• For safety reasons, outdoor antenna should be
situated well away from power lines and other high-
voltage equipment.
• Outdoor antenna must be grounded in accordance
with local regulations to prevent electrical shock
hazards.
Using a TV/FM Antenna Splitter
It’s best not to use the same antenna for both FM and
TV reception, as this can cause interference problems.
If circumstances demand it, use a TV/FM antenna
splitter, as shown.
Connecting an Outdoor AM Antenna
If good reception cannot be achieved using the
supplied AM loop antenna, an outdoor AM antenna
can be used in addition to the loop antenna, as shown.
Outdoor AM antennas work best when installed
horizontally outside, but good results can sometimes be
obtained indoors by mounting horizontally above a
window. Note that the AM loop antenna should be left
connected.
Outdoor antenna must be grounded in accordance with
local regulations to prevent electrical shock hazards.
Connecting the DAB Antenna
(R-1045DAB only)
Notes
If you cannot get a good reception, adjust the position
of the antenna. (See Page 43)

1
Screw the supplied DAB antenna’s
plug onto the DAB ANTENNA jack.
Once the stereo receiver is ready for use,
you’ll need to tune into a DAB station and
adjust the position of the DAB antenna to
achieve the best possible reception.
2
Use thumbtacks or something
similar to fix the DAB antenna into
position.
