The AVR500/AVR600 is fitted with an AM/FM receiver module and Sirius connector or a DAB/FM receiver, depending on the region where it was sold. The type of aerial you need depends on your listening preferences and the local conditions.

Your AVR500/AVR600 is capable of superb radio reception, but only if it is receiving a good quality transmission signal.

Try the aerials supplied with your unit. If you are in a medium to strong signal area, these should be adequate for good reception. In areas with poor signal strength, you may require a roof or loft mounted aerial.

In the UK the
‘T’‑elements need to be	ETHERNET

positioned vertically for

DAB reception since broadcasts are vertically polarised. In other localities, check with your Arcam dealer or try both horizontal and vertical positions for best reception.

Try each usable wall of the room to see which gives best reception and use tacks or adhesive tape to secure the aerial in a ‘T’ shape, but note that no tacks

should come into contact with the internal wire of the aerial.

When installed and receiving DAB, check the signal strength by pressing the front panel or remote control’s INFO button until the signal quality indicator is displayed.

In weak signal areas, a high- gain, externally-mounted

or roof-mounted aerial is desirable in order to receive the highest number of services.

In Band III transmission areas (such as the UK), use a multi- element Yagi aerial with the elements mounted vertically, as the transmissions are vertically polarised. If you are close to more than one transmitter, use an omnidirectional or folded dipole aerial.

If the DAB services in your area are transmitted on

a SIRIUS or XM Satellite Radio tuner (sold separately) to your satellite-ready receiver. Satellite Radio is available to residents of the US (except Alaska and Hawaii) and Canada.
