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.

Contact your local Arcam dealer or aerial installation experts for advice about local reception conditions.

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 L-band, then ask your dealer for advice for the best aerial to use.

The AVR600 is designed for use with the ‘SiriusConnect™ Home

Tuner’ package which should be connected via the cable supplied in that package to the Sirius socket.

NOTE

The AVR600 provides power for the Sirius receiver, so an external power supply is not needed.
