Connecting the DTR-8.4—Continued

Connecting Antenna

This chapter explains how to connect the supplied indoor FM antenna and AM loop antenna, and how to connect commercially available outdoor FM and AM antennas. The DTR-8.4 won’t pick up any radio signals without any antenna connected, so you must connect the antenna to use the tuner.

If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied indoor FM antenna, try a commercially available out- door FM antenna instead (see page 25).

Connecting the AM Loop Antenna

The supplied indoor AM loop antenna is for indoor use only.

Once your DTR-8.4 is ready for use, you’ll need to tune into an AM radio station and adjust the position of the AM antenna to achieve the best possible reception.

Keep the antenna as far away as possible from your DTR-8.4, TV, speaker cables, and power cords.
