To connect an antenna

A suitable VHF antenna or VHF cable signal must be connected to the socket marked ‘RF input’ on the back of the tuner. You are advised to use a high-quality, low-loss coaxial cable. Cables which have a solid screen will give superior performance.

Please note that the antenna must be intended for unbalanced (ie coaxial) connection. Antennas intended for, or connected with ribbon cable are unsuitable. If your antenna uses a ribbon cable then ask your dealer for a ‘balun’, or have it reconnected. Ribbon cables are not acceptable proof against RF interference.

The 504 Stereo FM Tuner is a very sophisticated unit, which will deliver superb quality sound. However, unless the signal delivered to the antenna socket of the 504 is of sufficient strength and quality, you will not enjoy the maximum benefits of your new tuner. We cannot emphasise enough the importance of a good VHF antenna and downlead.

However, as reception conditions vary so much, it is impossible to give more than broad advice, and we recommend, therefore, that you consult your dealer or antenna supplier who will be familiar with local conditions and will be able to advise you on the right equipment for your installation.
