Contact your local Arcam dealer or aerial
installation experts for advice about local
reception conditions.
DAB option
(where tted)
In strong signal areas,
the DAB ‘T’ ribbon aerial
supplied can be used with
reasonable results. Mount
the aerial as high up as
possible on a wall.
In the UK the
‘T’-elements need to be
positioned vertically for
DAB reception since broadcasts are vertically
polarised. In other localities, check with your
Arcam dealer or try both horizontal and vertical
positions for best reception.
Try each usable wall of the room to see which
gives best reception and use tacks or adhesive
tape to secure the aerial in a ‘T’
shape, but note that no tacks
should come into contact
with the internal wire of the
aerial.
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.

area are transmitted on
