Connecting Antennas
Below is the FM/AM antenna connection information
for the CBX-500. For the CBX-600UKD, see “Connect-
ing the DAB/FM Antenna (CBX-600UKD only)” on
page 15.
This section explains how to connect the supplied indoor
FM antenna and AM loop antenna, and how to connect
commercially available outdoor FM antenna.
The CBX-500 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
(CBX-500 only)
The supplied indoor FM antenna is for indoor use only.

tune into an FM radio station and adjust the posi-
tion 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.
If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied
indoor FM antenna, try a commercially available out-
door FM antenna instead (see “Connecting an Outdoor
FM Antenna (CBX-500 only)” on page 15).
