NOTE
e AVR600 provides power for the Sirius receiver,
so an external power supply is not needed.
Aerial connectors
e AVR600 is tted with an AM/FM receiver module
and Sirius connector or a DAB/FM receiver, depending
on the region where it was sold. e type of aerial you
need depends on your listening preferences and the
local conditions.
Your AVR600 is capable of superb radio reception, but
only if it is receiving a good quality transmission signal.
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 lo mounted aerial.
Contact your local Arcam dealer or aerial installation
experts for advice about local reception conditions.
Sirius
(where tted)
Sirius Satellite Radio is a
subscription radio service
available in North America.
For more information, visit
www.sirius.com or contact your
dealer (USA and Canada only).
e 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.
DAB
(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.
If the DAB services in your
area are transmitted on L-band,
then ask your dealer for advice
for the best aerial to use.
