Radio interference
Solo Mini is an audio device containing
microprocessors and other digital electronics.
It has been designed to very high standards of
electromagnetic compatibility.
If Solo Mini causes interference to radio or television
reception (which can be determined by switching
Solo Mini off and on), the following measures should
be taken:
< Re-orient the receiving antenna or route the
antenna cable of the affected receiver as far as
possible from Solo Mini and its cabling.
< Relocate the receiver with respect to Solo
Mini.
< Connect the receiver and Solo Mini to
different mains outlets.
If the problem persists, please contact your Arcam
dealer.
Which radio aerial?
Your Solo Mini is capable of superb radio reception, but
only if it is receiving a good quality transmission signal.
Solo Mini is fitted with an AM/FM receiver module and
an optional DAB receiver, depending on the region
where it was sold. The type of aerial you need depends
on your listening preferences and the local conditions.
Try the aerials supplied with your unit. If you are in a
medium to strong signal area, these should be adequate
for good reception; if not, you should contact your local
Arcam dealer or an aerial installation expert for advice.
DAB
If the transmission signal is reasonably strong in your
area then the supplied telescopic aerial should be all you
need. When installed and receiving DAB, check the signal
strength by pressing the remote control’s INFO button
until the signal bar graph is displayed.
1. Attach the telescopic aerial to the screw connector
labelled ‘DAB’ on the rear of the unit.
2. With the aerial pointing upwards, fasten the screw
no more than finger-tight (do not use a spanner or
wrench).
3. Adjust the length of the aerial for optimum
reception. A fully extended aerial is likely to be best
for Band III transmissions. You may find that that a
short extension is best for L-Band transmissions.
In weak signal areas, a high-gain, externally-mounted or
roof-mounted aerial is desirable in order to receive the
highest number of services.
In Band III transmission areas (such as the UK), use a
multi-element Yagi aerial with the elements mounted
vertically, as the transmissions are vertically polarised.
If you are close to more than one transmitter, use an
omnidirectional or folded dipole aerial.
If the DAB services in your area are transmitted on
L-band, then ask your dealer for advice for the best aerial
to use.
