CAUTION:  
< Switch off the power to all equipment before making  
connections.  
< Read the instructions of each component you intend to use  
with this unit.  
< Be sure to insert each plug securely. To prevent hum and  
noise, avoid bundling the signal interconnection cables  
together with the AC power cord or speaker cables.  
< When inserting the plug of the optical cable, the protective  
shutter of the terminal will open and you should hear it click  
into position when fully inserted. Be careful that you do not

Connecting Antennas (AM/FM)  
AM Indoor Loop Antenna  
FM Indoor Antenna  
The high-performance AM loop antenna provided with this  
unit is sufficient for good reception in most areas.  
To stand the loop antenna on a surface, fix the claw to the  
slot in the antenna base.  
Connect the lead-type FM antenna to the FM 75Ω socket,  
extend the lead and tune the tuner to your favorite station  
(see page 13). Adjust the antenna in a suitable location like a  
window frame or wall until the reception is best and then  
affix the antenna in that position using thumb tacks, push  
pins or any other suitable means.  
Connect the loop antenna’s wires to the AM antenna  
terminals.  
Place the antenna on a shelf or hang it on a window frame,  
etc., in the direction which gives the best reception. Keep all  
other wires such as power cords, speaker wires or  
interconnect wires as far away as possible from the antenna.  
FM Outdoor Antenna  
In an area where FM signals are weak, it will be necessary to  
use an outdoor FM antenna. Generally, a 3-element antenna  
will be sufficient; if you live in an area where the FM signals  
are particularly weak, it may be necessary to use one with 5  
or more elements.  
AM Loop Antenna  
AM Outdoor  
Antenna  
< Disconnect the FM indoor antenna when using an outdoor  
antenna.  
Make sure to connect:  
white wire q right terminal  
black wire q left terminal  
< If the AM loop antenna provided does not deliver sufficient  
reception (often due to being too far from the transmitter or  
in a concrete building, etc.), it may be necessary to use an  
outdoor AM antenna.  
Use either a high quality commercial AM antenna or, if not  
available, an insulated wire more than 5 m long, strip one  
end, and connect this to the terminal as shown.  
The antenna wire should be strung outdoors or indoors near  
a window. For better reception, connect the GND terminal to  
a reliable ground.  
Note:  
Even when using an outdoor AM antenna, do not disconnect  
the AM loop antenna.

Connecting Antennas (DAB)  
DAB Indoor Antenna  
DAB Outdoor Antenna  
Connect the T-type DAB antenna to the DAB socket, extend  
the lead vertically and attach it to a window frame or wall  
with thumbtacks, or the like, where reception is best.  
In an area where DAB signals are weak, it will be necessary to  
use an outdoor DAB antenna. There are two main types  
available.  
Dipole:  
For use in marginal signal areas. This type of antenna is  
omnidirectional and should increase the strength of all DAB  
stations being received.  
Multi-element antenna:  
Also for use in marginal or poor signal areas. This type of  
antenna is directional and has high gain. This antenna needs  
to be pointed at the transmitter you want to listen to.  
Multi-element  
Dipole  
< You can check the antenna adjustment or positioning for the  
best reception by viewing the signal strength on the display.  
The signal strength is displayed as a bar graph by pressing the  
ENTER button once.  
< It is possible to use a TV or FM antenna with your DAB tuner  
as this is normally mounted externally. This may give a  
stronger signal than a simple internal antenna, however it  
would not be tuned specifically for DAB reception.  
You would need to change the plug on your TV/FM antenna  
to an F type, and it may also be necessary to use a signal  
booster to enhance the signal.

General  
No power  
A burbling sound is heard on some stations.  
e DAB like other digital media is good at producing quality  
audio from a low level signal, however if this signal level is  
too low a ‘burbling’ sound can sometimes be heard. To  
reduce this, try repositioning your antenna to gain maximum  
signal strength.  
e Check the connection to the AC power supply. Check and  
make sure the AC source is not a switched outlet and that,  
if it is, the switch is turned on. Make sure there is power to  
the AC outlet by plugging another item such as a lamp or  
fan.  
No sound  
e Check the connection to the amplifier.  
e Check the operation of the amplifier.  
e Ensure that T-H300DABmkIII and connected amplifier are  
turned on.  
If normal operation cannot be recovered, unplug the  
power cord from the outlet and plug it again.  
Cannot listen to any station, or signal is too weak.  
e Make sure the antenna is properly connected (see page 6).  
e Tune in the station properly (see page 13).  
e Install the antenna again after relocating it to a better  
reception position.  
Maintenance  
If the surface of the unit gets dirty, wipe with a soft cloth or  
use diluted neutral cleaning liquid. Be sure to remove any  
fluid completely. Do not use thinner, benzine or alcohol as  
they may damage the surface of the unit.  
e An external antenna may be required.  
Sound is noisy.  
e Place the antenna as far away from a TV or a CD player as  
possible.  
Disposal of your old appliance  
e If a TV or a CD player is near the unit, turn it off.  
1. When this crossed-out wheeled bin  
symbol is attached to a product it means  
the product is covered by the European  
Directive 2002/96/EC.  
Though the broadcast is stereo, it sounds monaural.  
e Press the FUNCTION/FM MODE button (see page 13).  
2. All electrical and electronic products  
should be disposed of separately from  
the municipal waste stream via designated collection  
facilities appointed by the government or the local  
authorities.

potential negative consequences for the environment and  
human health.  
‘NO stations Available’ appears on the display.  
e Check that antenna is connected (see page 5).  
e Ensure that DAB coverage exists in your area.  
4. For more detailed information about disposal of your old  
appliance, please contact your city office, waste disposal  
service or the shop where you purchased the product.  
Cannot access secondary services.  
e At the time of publishing not many secondary services are  
available, this will increase as more DAB stations start  
broadcasting. If a secondary service station is available, the  
secondary indicator >> will be displayed next to the station  
name.  
Display goes out or displayed ‘service off air’.  
e This may occur if a broadcaster changes the label of a

About DAB  
Specificatioins  
With this unit you can receive and listen to Digital Audio  
Broadcast (DAB) programmes. DAB uses digital, not analogue  
signals, resulting in near CD-quality audio with virtually  
interference-free reception. Along with superior quality audio,  
DAB can also deliver additional audio channels and text. In the  
future, computer data and images are also possible.
