AUDIO CONNECTIONS

After unpacking the unit and placing it on a solid surface capable of

supporting its weight, you will need to make the connections to your

pre amplifier or integrated amplifier. These steps need to be done only

when the tuner is first installed.

AUDIO EQUIPMENT CONNECTIONS

We recommend that you use high-quality interconnect cables when

making connections to source equipment and recorders to preserve the

quality of the signals.

When making connections to audio source equipment it is always a

good practice to unplug the unit from the AC wall outlet. This prevents

any possibility of accidentally sending audio or transient signals to the

speakers that may damage them.

1 Connect the analogue output of the C445 to the tuner input of your

pre amplifier or integrated amplifier.

2 For DAB signals, connect the optical digital output of the C445 Tuner

to an optical digital audio input of your pre amplifier or integrated

amplifier, if available.

3 Assemble the AM Loop Antenna supplied with the unit as shown

below.

Connect it to the AM terminals.

4 Connect an FM Antenna to the FM Antenna connection. The FM

antenna may be an external roof antenna, an inside powered or wire

lead antenna or a connection from a cable system. Note that if the

antenna or connection uses 300-ohm twin-lead cable, you need to

use a 300-ohm-to-75-ohm adaptor to make the connection. The

supplied antenna is for indoor use only.

5 Connect a DAB Antenna to the DAB Antenna connection. The

supplied antenna is for internal use only. Fix it to the wall in a vertical

direction. The strength of the incoming signal can be shown on the

Information Display by pressing the Select button. The more segments

are visible in the lower display line, the stronger the signal. By changing

the position of the antenna, you can increase the signal strength. You

can also opt for an external antenna, available at your dealer.

For best reception place the unit as far as possible from sources of RF

emissions such as a television or computer. It should also be placed away

from contact with any metal object. In areas where signals are weak, an

outdoor antenna may improve sound and reception quality. Connect

the antenna making certain to also connect a ground wire to the GND

(ground) terminals.
