Connecting antennas

To use the tuner of the DTM-5.3, it is necessary to prepare the supplied FM and AM antennas.

•Adjustment and placement of the FM and AM antennas for better reception is best performed while listening to a station broadcast.

•If better reception cannot be obtained, then placement of an outside antenna is recommended.

Assembling the AM loop antenna

Assemble the loop antenna as shown in the illustration.

•Refer to “Connecting the AM loop antenna” below for details on connecting the loop antenna.

Connecting an FM outdoor antenna

Please make sure that you follow these guidelines:

•Keep the antenna away from noise sources (neon signs, busy roads, etc.).

•It is dangerous to locate the antenna close to power lines. Keep it well away from power lines, transformers, etc.

•To avoid the risk of lightning and electrical shock, grounding is necessary. Follow item 14 of the “Important Safeguards” on page 2 when you install the outdoor antenna.

Connecting the FM indoor antenna:

The FM indoor antenna is for indoor use only. During use, extend the antenna and move it in various directions until the clearest sig- nal is received. Fix it with push pins or similar implements in the position that will cause the least amount of distortion.

If the reception is not very clear with the attached FM indoor antenna, the use of an outdoor antenna is recommended.

Connecting the AM loop antenna:

The AM loop antenna is for indoor use only. Set it in the direction and position in which you receive the clearest sound. Locate it as far away as possible from the DTM-5.3, televisions, speaker cables, and power cords.

When reception is not satisfactory with the attached AM loop antenna alone, connection of an outdoor antenna is recommended.

Connecting an AM outdoor antenna

An outdoor antenna will be more effective if it is stretched horizon- tally above a window or outside.

•Do not remove the AM loop antenna.

•To avoid the risk of lightning and electrical shock, grounding is necessary. Follow item 14 of the “Important Safeguards” on page 2 when you install the outdoor antenna.

Directional linkage

Do not use the same antenna for both FM and TV (or VCR) recep- tion since the FM and TV (or VCR) signals can interfere with each other. If you must use a common FM/TV (or VCR) antenna, use a

Strip away the insulation from the end of the cable, then fully insert the stripped end of the cable.

Hint:

Either of the split ends of the AM antenna can be connected to either terminal. Unlike speaker cabling, there is no polarity for AM broadcast signals.
