Connecting to other equipment Interconnect cables Interconnecting cables are not supplied with this tuner. We recommend high quality cables as inferior quality cables will degrade the sound quality of your system. Please contact your Arcam dealer for details of suitable cables. Setting up the aerials FM aerial An FM aerial is required to receive VHF radio signals. An external FM ribbon aerial is supplied as an accessory. For optimal FM radio reception a roof or loft mounted aerial is advised. For your own safety it is recommended that a roof top aerial is fitted by an experienced contractor. Your Arcam dealer should be able to put you in contact with an aerial installer. A contractor will be able to tune your aerial to the nearest FM transmitter. In an apartment building an aerial system my already be installed. If this is the case you should have sockets in your home marked FM or VHF (do not use those marked TV). The `T' shaped wire aerial (dipole design) supplied should give reasonably good reception. Mount this aerial as high up as possible on a wall with the elements positioned horizontally. Try each usable wall of the room to see which gives best reception. Use tacks or adhesive tape to secure the aerial in a T shape. The tacks should not come into contact with the internal wire of the aerial. [. . . ] When either of the tune buttons are pressed, the tuner stops automatically at a station with any suitably strong signal. T51 6 Do not place anything in front of the display area on the tuner (where the IR receiver is located), or the remote control may not work.
