FM

An FM aerial is required to receive VHF radio signals.

In moderately strong signal areas, the dipole ribbon aerial supplied can be used with reasonable results.

1.Loosen the two cross-head screws on the push-on adaptor.

2.Slide a terminal tag from the long end of the ribbon aerial under one of the screws and tighten securely. Repeat with the other tag and remaining screw.

3.Attach the push-on adapter to the FM connector on the back panel of the unit.

4.Experiment with the position of the aerial to get the best reception (FM signals are both vertically and horizontally polarised).

In weak signal areas, or for optimum FM radio reception, a roof- or loft-mounted aerial is advised as this will give superior reception.

In some areas, cable radio may be available or, in an apartment building, a distributed aerial system may be installed. In either of these cases you should have sockets in your home marked FM or VHF (do not use those marked TV); these should be connected to the FM coaxial connector on the rear of the unit.

Sirius

An antenna suitable for receiving Sirius satellite broadcasts is included with the SiriusConnect™ Home Tuner accessory (not supplied).

The Sirius 8-pin connection cable lets you control the tuner through your Arcam T32. Plug in the tuner module, set up the indoor/outdoor satellite radio antenna and activate your SIRIUS subscription before use (see page 12).

AM

An AM aerial is required to receive AM/medium wave radio signals, so a simple loop aerial is supplied. Follow the assembly instructions in the adjacent diagram.

Make sure that the aerial is positioned well away from TVs, computers and other sources of RF noise. Rotate the aerial to discover which position gives the best reception.

In weak signal areas, or when the T32 is in use inside a steel-framed building (such as an apartment building), a wire between 3 and 5 metres long can be used to improve reception. Mount this high up outside the building if possible, and connect one end of this wire to the AM Loop connector, in addition to the loop aerial supplied (i.e. do not disconnect the AM loop aerial).

Assembling the AM loop aerial

1.Release the tie-wrap and unwind the twisted lead. Fold the plastic stand forward through the loop frame.

2.Push the tab into the open slot in the base of the stand. Press until the tab clicks home.

3.Connect the lead wires to the AM socket at the rear of the unit (the wires are not polarised). Rotate the aerial’s stand until you obtain the best reception.
