GLOSSARY / USEFUL INFORMATION
RCA/Cinch
RCA is the American name for coaxial Cinch connec-
tors and sockets, originally the abbreviation for
"Radio Corporation of America", the name of a
United States company. Both the plug and cable con-
sist of a rod-shaped inner lead and a cylindrical-sha-
ped outer lead. This enables a mono audio signal or
a video signal to be transmitted. Compared to the XLR
plug connector, this type of connection is also called
"unbalanced signal connection".

TROUBLESHOOTING
Possible cause
Antenna not or not properly connected.
The medium wave (AM) antenna is not
pointing in the ideal direction.
Sources of interference are nearby.
The radio signal is too weak
(transmitter possibly too far away).
An AM station (medium wave) was selected,
only some FM stations (VHF) support RDS.
The FM station does not support RDS.
RDS function switched off.
No batteries inserted in the hand-held device,
batteries not correctly inserted or worn out.
The line of sight between remote control and
appliance is blocked, the maximum range
has been exceeded or the hand-held device
has been operated from a position of too
large angle towards the middle axis.
Appliance not switched on.
See "Humming noises" section in the chapter "More tips".
Help
Check the connection to the antenna
(10)(11) for the selected mode (AM, FM).
Try different ways of setting up and pointing
the antenna.
Try to find and eliminate the source of
interference.
Try to improve the reception by pressing
the "ST/MONO" button (6)(25) or choose
another station.
Do without this service or set an
FM station (VHF).
Do without this service or set another
FM station (VHF).
Switch RDS on with the "RDS" button (8)(33).
Check and replace the batteries if necessary.
Try to point the remote control only in full,
frontal view of the appliance and within
a range of 7 m.
Switch the appliance on.
a common measurement for signal voltages and the
volume. It is given in decibels (dB). Alternating signal
voltages below 1V (RMS) are described as "line
level" voltages, which are suitable as music signals
for amplifier inputs. Inputs on amplifiers (mostly repre-
sented by RCA sockets), which are designed for
signals on the CD player, tape recorder, DVD player
etc. are also referred to as "line level inputs" or "high-
level inputs". Thos signal inputs must not be confused
with inputs that accept preamplified signals. The input
sensitivity of most stereo amplifier audio inputs is wit-
hin the range of 100 mV to 500 mV (millivolts).
