Connecting an aerial
A suitable FM aerial must be
connected to the AVR500/
AVR600 before FM radio can be
received.
In strong signal areas, the FM
ribbon aerial supplied can be
used with reasonable results.
Mount this as high up as possible
on a wall with the top of the
‘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 lo-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.
AM
Connecting an aerial
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.
2. Push the tab into the open slot in the
base of the stand. Press until the tab
clicks home.
3. Connect the lead wires to the AM socket
at the rear of the AVR600 (the wires are
not polarised). Rotate the aerial’s stand
until you obtain the best reception.
1. Release the tie-wrap and unwind the
twisted lead. Fold the plastic stand
forward through the loop frame.

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