  • Page 9 AERIAL INSTALLATION The installation of a high quality aerial system is essential if the best possible performance is to be obtained from the KREMLIN tuner. However, the type of aerial system required for your location depends on a number of factors including the power and siting of transmitters, the proximity of hills and tall buildings and the presence of local interference sources.

If the lead from your aerial is fitted with this type of plug, simply screw the plug into the socket on the tuner until the connection is secure but not overtight.

    AUDIO CONNECTIONS The KREMLIN has two identical stereo line outputs to enable connection to both the preamplifier of a main system and the distribution unit of a multi-room system, without the need for adapter cables.
