Connecting Antennas
—Continued
Connecting an Outdoor FM Antenna
(CBX-500 only)
If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied
indoor FM antenna, try a commercially available out-
door FM antenna instead.
Notes:
• Outdoor FM antennas work best outside, but usable
results can sometimes be obtained when installed in an
attic 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 possi-
ble 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 haz-
ards.

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 cir-
cumstances demand it, use a TV/FM antenna splitter, as
shown.
Connecting the DAB/FM Antenna
(CBX-600UKD only)
The supplied DAB/FM antenna is for indoor use only.
1
Plug the DAB/FM antenna into the DAB/FM
ANTENNA jack, as shown.
2
Use thumbtacks or something similar to fix
the DAB/FM antenna into position.
Adjust the location and position of the DAB/FM
antenna while listening to a DAB/FM station to
achieve the best possible reception.
The adapter is not supplied with the CBX-500.
You’ll need to purchase an adapter compati-
ble with the CBX-500’s FM antenna jack.
