For Best Results

1. All antennas are affected by electromagnetic fields.
To maximize performance, position your HDR-I
antenna away from direct contact with receivers,
tuners, CD players, TVs and computers.
Note: Antennas work best when CD players, VCRs and
computers are turned off.
2. Keep the antenna away from large metal objects.
Placing the HDR-I near a window often provides the
best results.
3. On occasions, certain areas in your home may be
null points or dead spots where no radio signal can
be received. This may also occur in metal-frame
buildings and houses with aluminum siding. In this
case, simply move your antenna, trying different
locations, until the best reception is achieved.
4. In weak signal areas, optimum tuning is achieved
with your receiver’s scan button in the off position.

Remember that no antenna can receive a radio signal
that isn’t there. When a usable radio signal is present,
your HDR-I will improve AM and FM reception.
Note: Generally, a practical limit to radio reception is
40-50 miles from the broadcast transmitter depending on
the terrain.
Gain Control Knob
Located on the back of the HDR-I is the gain control knob.
The gain control is the mechanism that either increases
or decreases the antenna’s amplifier intensity. The
further away you are from the radio signal, the more you
increase the gain. If you are very close to the radio signal,
signal saturation occurs. Lowering the gain will decrease
the amount of distortion.

You can extend the wire with RG-59 cable and a two-way F connector.
These items are available at any electronics store.
Q:
When I touch the antenna, it works better. How come?
