2. Move the antenna until you get the strongest possible signal.
Note: Keep the antenna wire away from computers, televisions, telephones other cables and cords. In
Australia the wire antenna is best placed vertically out of the back of the unit, preferably near (or even through)
a window that faces in the direction of the station transmitters.
To ensure the best possible signal reception, it is recommended to connect this antenna output to an external
roof-top TV antenna, most of which are also suited for FM reception (cables and connectors not supplied). A
good DAB+ reception will ensure a good FM radio signal reception, for both audio and RDS / DLS data.

The reception quality will be directly determined by the strength of
the input signal. Although the location of the tuner in relation to the
transmitter is the main factor, the positioning of the antenna and the
length of wire or cable also play an important role. Below is the
instruction for fixing the antenna.
1. In DAB+ mode, press INFO button on remote control until signal
Adhesive
strength bar meter appears on the screen. The slightly larger
tape
rectangle indicates the audio quality threshold. If the signal
strength, as indicated by the solid rectangles along the bar from
left to right, lies on or below this threshold, the audio quality will
be poor. (See section on Manual Tuning for DAB+ for more
precise method of adjusting the antenna.)
