The supplied indoor AM loop antenna is for indoor use 
only.

If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied 
indoor AM loop antenna, try using a commercially 
available outdoor AM antenna.

If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied 
indoor FM antenna, try using a commercially available 
outdoor FM antenna instead.

 

• Outdoor FM antennas work best outside, but acceptable 

results can sometimes be obtained when installed in an attic 
or loft.

• For best results, install the outdoor FM antenna well away 

from tall buildings, preferably with a clear line of sight to 
your local FM transmitter.

• Outdoor antennas should be located away from possible 

noise sources, such as neon signs, busy roads, etc.

• For safety reasons, outdoor antennas should be situated well 

away from power lines and other high voltage equipment.

• Outdoor antennas must be grounded in accordance with local 

regulations to prevent electric shock hazards.

 

It’s best not to use the same antenna for both FM and 
TV reception, as this can cause interference problems. 
If circumstances demand it, use a TV/FM antenna 
splitter, as shown.

If good reception cannot be achieved using the supplied 
AM loop antenna, an outdoor AM antenna can be used 
in addition to the loop antenna, as shown.

Outdoor AM antennas work best when installed outside 
horizontally, but good results can sometimes be obtained 
indoors by mounting it horizontally above a window. 
Note that the AM loop antenna should be left connected.
Outdoor antennas must be grounded in accordance with 
local regulations to prevent electric shock hazards.

 

(The antenna’s wires are not polarity sensitive, so 
they can be connected in either terminal)
Make sure that the wires are attached securely 
and that the push terminals are gripping the bare 
wires, not the insulation.

Once your DTR-10.5 is ready for use, you’ll 
need to tune into an AM radio station and adjust 
the position of the AM antenna to achieve the 
best possible reception. Keep the antenna as far 
away as possible from your DTR-10.5, TV, 
speaker cables, and power cords.
