Connecting antennas To use the tuner of the DTM-5.3, it is necessary to prepare the supplied FM and AM antennas. • Adjustment and placement of the FM and AM antennas for better reception is best performed while listening to a station broadcast. • If better reception cannot be obtained, then placement of an outside antenna is recommended. Assembling the AM loop antenna Connecting an FM outdoor antenna Assemble the loop antenna as shown in the illustration.
Connecting the remote zone (Zone 2) The DTM-5.3 allows you to connect an additional set of speakers and place them in a different room or an area separated for listening to music. This other room or area is referred to as the remote zone (Zone 2), while the room in which the DTM-5.3 is referred to as the main zone. In addition, the IR IN/OUT allows you to control the DTM-5.3 from the remote zone (Zone 2) using the remote controller, even though the remote zone may be physically separated.
