Connecting the DTR-8.4
—Continued
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.
Connecting the Indoor FM Antenna
The supplied indoor FM antenna is for indoor use only.
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.
If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied
indoor AM loop antenna, try using it with a commer-
cially available outdoor AM antenna (see page 25).
Connecting Antenna
1

Once your DTR-8.4 is ready for use, you’ll need
to tune into an FM radio station and adjust the
position of the FM antenna to achieve the best
possible reception.
2
Use thumbtacks or something similar to
fix the FM antenna into position.
Caution:
Be careful that you don’t injure yourself
when using thumbtacks.

1
Assemble the AM loop antenna, inserting
the tabs into the base, as shown.
2
Connect both wires of the AM loop
antenna to the AM push terminals, as
shown.
(The antenna’s wires are not polarity sensitive, so
they can be connected either way around).
Make sure that the wires are attached securely and
that the push terminals are gripping the bare
wires, not the insulation.
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.
