Using a TV/FM Antenna Splitter
It’s best not to use the same antenna for both FM and TV
reception, as this can cause interference problems. If cir-
cumstances demand it, use a TV/FM antenna splitter, as
shown.
Connecting the DAB/FM Antenna
(CBX-600UKD only)
The supplied DAB/FM antenna is for indoor use only.
1
Plug the DAB/FM antenna into the DAB/FM
ANTENNA jack, as shown.
2
Use thumbtacks or something similar to fix
the DAB/FM antenna into position.
Adjust the location and position of the DAB/FM
antenna while listening to a DAB/FM station to
achieve the best possible reception.
The adapter is not supplied with the CBX-500.
