Connecting Antenna; Connecting An Outdoor Fm Antenna - Onkyo CR-255DAB Instruction Manual

Connecting Antenna

Connecting FM Antenna
This section explains how to connect the supplied indoor FM antenna.
The CD receiver won't pick up any radio signals if no antenna is connected, so you must connect the antenna to use the
tuner.
Insert the plug fully into
the jack.
Note:
• Once your CD receiver is ready for use, you'll need to tune into a radio station and position the antenna to achieve
the best possible reception.
Connecting the DAB Antenna
If using a DAB antenna, connect it to the same antenna jack as the FM antenna.
If an FM antenna is already connected, you'll need to disconnect it.
Since a DAB antenna is not supplied with this unit, you'll need to purchase a commercially available DAB antenna.
Note:
• When purchasing a DAB antenna, choose one that fits the DAB/FM antenna jack located on the rear panel of the CD
receiver.

Connecting an Outdoor FM Antenna

If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied
indoor FM antenna, try a commercially available
outdoor FM antenna instead.
Note:
• Outdoor FM antennas work best outside, but usable
results can sometimes be obtained when installed in an
attic or loft.
• For best results, install the outdoor FM antenna well
away from tall buildings, preferably with a clear line
of sight to your local FM transmitter.
• Outdoor antenna should be located away from
possible noise sources, such as neon signs, busy roads,
etc.
• For safety reasons, outdoor antenna should be situated
well away from power lines and other high-voltage
equipment.
• Outdoor antenna must be grounded in accordance
with local regulations to prevent electrical shock
hazards.

■ Using a TV/FM Antenna Splitter
It's best not to use the same antenna for both FM and TV
reception, as this can cause interference problems.
If circumstances demand it, use a TV/FM antenna
splitter, as shown.
