Positioning the unit

Always place the tuner on a level, firm surface.

Setting up the tuner

AM step switch
The AM tuning 'step size' needs to be set according to your
location. This is done using the switch on the rear panel: set
it to 10kHz if you are in North America, or 9kHz anywhere
else. This switch also ensures correct reproduction of FM
broadcasts for your location.
AM aerial
An AM aerial is required to receive AM/Medium Wave radio
signals.
An external AM loop aerial is supplied as an accessory. This
should be attached to the AM Antenna inputs with one end
connected to AM
matter which way round this aerial is fitted. Rotate the aerial to
discover which position gives the best reception.
In areas of weak reception or when the receiver is used inside
a steel framed building (such as an apartment building) you
can use a wire between 3 and 5 metres long to strengthen
reception. Mount this high up outside the building, if possible,
and connect one end of this wire to the AM antenna input
as well as the loop aerial supplied. DO NOT DISCONNECT THE
LOOP AERIAL.

FM aerial
An FM aerial is required to receive VHF radio signals. An
external FM ribbon aerial is supplied as an accessory.
For optimal FM radio reception a roof or loft mounted aerial is
advised. For your own safety it is recommended that a roof top
aerial is fitted by an experienced contractor. Your Arcam dealer
should be able to put you in contact with an aerial installer.
A contractor will be able to tune your aerial to the nearest
FM transmitter. In an apartment building an aerial system may
already be installed. If this is the case you should have sockets in
your home marked FM or VHF (do not use those marked TV).
The 'T' shaped wire aerial (dipole design) supplied should give
reasonably good reception. Mount this aerial as high up as
possible on a wall with the elements positioned horizontally. Try
each usable wall of the room to see which gives best reception.
Use tacks or adhesive tape to secure the aerial in a T-shape.
The tacks should not come into contact with the internal wire of
the aerial.
Whether you decide to get an aerial professionally installed or
opt to use the supplied aerial it should be connected to the FM
Antenna input on the rear of the unit.

connector.
