DAB Outdoor Antenna
In an area where DAB signals are weak, it will be necessary
to use an outdoor DAB antenna. For general use, there are
two types available.
Dipole:
For use in marginal signal areas. This type of antenna is
omnidirectional and should increase the strength of all DAB
stations being received.
Multi-element antenna:
Also for use in marginal or poor signal areas. This type of
antenna is directional and has high gain. This antenna needs
to be pointed at the transmitter you want to listen to.
< It is possible to use a TV or FM antenna with your DAB tuner
as this is normally mounted externally. This may give a
stronger signal than a simple internal antenna, however it
would not be tuned specifically for DAB reception.
You would need to change the plug on your TV/FM antenna
to an F type, and it may also be necessary to use a signal
booster to enhance the signal.

DAB/FM Indoor Antenna
Connect the supplied T-type DAB/FM antenna to the
ANTENNA DAB/FM 75Ω socket by turning the antenna’s
screw cap clockwise.
Extend the lead vertically and attach it to a window frame or
wall with thumbtacks, or the like, where reception is best.
< You can check the antenna adjustment or positioning for
the best reception by viewing the signal strength on the
display (see page 25).
A
SPEAKERS
Connect the left speaker’s plug to L, and the right speaker’s
plug to R.
< If not using the included speakers, make sure the speakers
you use are at least 4 Ω impedance.
< Do not connect anything other than speakers to these
terminals.
AC Power Cord
Be sure to connect the power cord to an AC outlet which
supplies the correct voltage.
Hold the power plug when plugging or unplugging the
power cord. Never pull or yank on the power cord.
POWER switch of the Subwoofer
Use this switch to turn the system on or off.
< If the power switch of the subwoofer turned off, the
settings kept in memory (clock, timer setting) will be erased.
To avoid losing your settings, it is advisable to keep this
switch ON when not in use.
AUX IN
You can connect a portable audio player to this jack.
Connect the LINE OUT or PHONES jack (audio output jack)
of the player using the supplied stereo mini plug cable.
When using the PHONES jack of your mini player, you must
adjust the volume of the mini-player or you may hear no
sound from your MC-DX220iDAB.
F
The equipment draws a nominal amount of power from
the AC outlet even with its POWER switch in the OFF
position.
