VHF/FM
DAB
Solo Neo is tted with a DAB+/FM receiver module.
A roof-mounted aerial should be used wherever
possible to obtain the best reception.
Your Solo Neo is capable of superb FM and DAB/
DAB+ radio reception, but only if it is receiving a good
quality transmission signal.
DAB/DAB+ (Digital Radio)
If the transmission signal is strong in your area then
the supplied indoor aerial may be sucient (it should
be hung on a wall with both wires fully stretched out
vertically). In weak signal areas, an external aerial is
desirable in order to receive the highest number of
services.
DAB transmissions can be in either ‘Band III’ or the
‘L-band’ (or both). To determine the transmission
frequency in your area, contact your dealer, or refer
to www.WorldDAB.org. In Band III transmission areas,
use a multi-element Yagi aerial if you are a long
way from a transmitter, or use an omnidirectional
or folded dipole aerial if you are close to more than
one transmitter (in the U.K., a Band III region, this
should be mounted with the elements vertically, as
the transmissions are vertically polarised). If the DAB
services in your area are transmitted on L-band then
consult your dealer with regard to the best aerial to
use.
Whether you decide to install an external aerial, or
opt to use the supplied ribbon cable, it should be
connected to the F-type (screw) connector labelled
‘DAB+/FM’ on the rear of the unit.
The type of aerial you should use depends
on your listening preferences and the local
conditions. If you listen exclusively to FM
transmissions, for example, and the FM signal
strength is strong in your area, then a simple
omni-directional aerial mounted in your loft or
on your roof may be sucient. Listening to DAB
in a weak signal area will require a high-gain,
roof-mounted aerial.
For the best reception of both DAB and FM
signals, an aerial combiner box may be required
(as shown in the diagram opposite). This
combines the signals received by two aerials
(one for DAB, the other for FM), into one cable
that then connects to Solo Neo. If an aerial
combiner is not used, the single aerial chosen
for both DAB and FM reception may not give
optimum performance in some regions.
For the best advice, we recommend that you
contact your local Arcam dealer or aerial
installation expert.
FM Radio
Although an FM ribbon aerial is supplied as an
accessory to Solo Neo, for optimal FM radio reception
a roof- or loft-mounted aerial is advised as this will
give superior reception. In some areas cable radio may
be available or, in an apartment building, a distributed
aerial system may be installed. In either of these cases
you should have sockets in your home marked FM or
VHF (do not use those marked TV), which should be
connected to the connector labelled ‘FM’ on the rear
of Solo Neo.
If you wish to use the supplied FM ribbon cable,
mount this as high up as possible on a wall with the
‘T’-elements positioned horizontally. Try each usable
wall of the room to see which gives best reception
and use tacks or adhesive tape to secure the aerial in
a T shape, but note that no tacks should come into
contact with the internal wire of the aerial.
If you wish to receive both DAB and FM signals,
experiment with the orientation of the aerial for best
results.

Wi-Fi Antenna
If you wish to use wireless networking (Wi-Fi) to
connect to your local network, the Wi-Fi antenna
must be installed.
Locate the ‘WiFi’ socket on the rear panel. Remove
the red protective cap (if installed) and screw on the
supplied aerial as shown.
An equipment cabinet can block the wireless signal.
The wired network connection is recommended for
enclosed installations.
Wireless networking requires network settings to
be entered into the Solo Neo. See pages 18—19 for
network conguration instructions.
