‘T’‑elements positioned vertically or horizontally, depending on the reception in your area. Try each usable wall of the room to see which gives best reception and use tacks or adhesive tape to secure the aerial, but note that no tacks should come into contact with the internal wire of the aerial.

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

In weak signal areas, or for optimal 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 AVR500/AVR600.

An AM aerial is required to receive AM/medium wave radio signals, so a simple loop aerial is supplied with the AVR500/ AVR600. Follow the assembly instructions in the diagram below.

Make sure that the aerial is

positioned well away from the AVR500/AVR600 itself, TVs,

computers and other sources of RF ‘interference’. Rotate the aerial to discover which position gives the best reception.
