NOTE:
•Do not plug in the power supply cord until all connections have been completed.
•When making connections, also refer to the operating instructions of the other components.
•Be sure to connect the left and right channels properly (left with left, right with right).
•Do not bundle power supply cords together with speaker cables. Doing so could result in humming
or noise.
•Making connections with the power turned on could result in noise or damage the speakers.
•Bunching the power supply cords and connection cables together could result in humming or noise.
•Connect all the connection cables between the different components firmly. The system may not
operate properly if the connections are incomplete.
•Be sure to disconnect the power supply cords when changing the connections. Changing the
connections while the system is operating could result in malfunction.
•Plug the power cords of devices that are used connected to the DRA-F102 DAB into the DRA-F102
DAB’s AC outlets. Do not use the outlets for hairdryers or other non-audio devices.
•Do not turn up the volume when no turntable is connected to the PHONO input terminals. Doing so
will cause humming or noise.
When not connecting a turntable, leave the included short-circuiting pin plug plugged in.

Connections Connections
Speaker connections
Connecting the included antennas
Connect the speaker terminals with the speakers
making sure that like polarities are matched (<
with <, >with >).
NOTE:
When making connections, take care that
none of the individual conductors of the
speaker cable come in contact with adjacent
terminals, with other speaker cable
conductors, or with the rear panel and
screws.
NEVER touch the speaker terminals when
the power is on. Doing so could result in
electric shocks.
Connecting the speaker cables
1. Loosen by turning
counterclockwise.
Either tightly twist or terminate the
core wires.
2. Insert the cable.
3. Tighten by turning
clockwise.
¢Speaker impedance
Use speakers with an impedance of 4 to 16
Ω/ohms.
Note on speaker impedance
When using speakers with an impedance
below the designated value (for example 3
Ω/ohms), playing for long periods of time with
the volume high could cause the temperature
to rise, activating the protection circuit.
When the protection circuit is activated, the
output to the speakers is cut off and the power
indicator blinks. If this happens, unplug the
power cord, wait for the set to cool off and
improve ventilation around the unit. Also check
the wiring of the input cables and the speaker
cables. After doing this, plug the power cord
back in and turn the unit’s power back on.
If the protection circuit is activated again even
though there are no problems with the wiring
or the ventilation around the unit, switch off the
power and contact a DENON service center.

Assembling the AM loop antenna Connecting the AM loop antenna
1. Insert the antenna wire while
pressing the lever.
2. Release the lever to fasten the
antenna wire in place.
2. Bend.
1. Remove.
3. Insert in holes.
•When using an SC-F102/F103 (sold separately), we recommend using the DRA-F102 DAB’s optimised
filter ( page 23).

¢Installing the antenna
qTuning in a broadcast ( page 12).
wListening to the sound, move the antenna to
find the position in which there is less noise.
eInstall the antenna.
•Fasten the tip of the antenna using tape, etc.
¢Installing the DAB indoor antenna
Find the position at which the reception
sensitivity is best using the “Tuning Aid”
function, then secure the tip of the DAB
antenna in this position using a pin.
¢Where to install the outdoor
antenna
•Place the antenna in the position in which
reception is the best.
•Place away from streets or railroad tracks to
avoid the influence of cars or trains.
¢Connecting the FM outdoor
antenna
•We recommend using a 75 Ω/ohms coaxial
cable to avoid interference from other
equipment.
•Be sure to disconnect the included FM antenna.
¢Connecting an AM outdoor
antenna
•Be sure to connect the ground wire to the
ground terminal ( ).
•Be sure to also connect the included AM loop
antenna.
¢Connecting an DAB outdoor
antenna
If good reception cannot be achieved with the
included DAB indoor antenna, use an DAB
outdoor antenna. Connect an F male type
connector to the coaxial cable and connect the
antenna to the DAB COAX. 75 Ω/ohms
terminal.
NOTE:
•The DRA-F102 DAB’s ground terminal ( ) is
the ground for the AM loop antenna. It is not
a safety ground.
•It is not possible to achieve good reception for
AM broadcasts if the AM loop antenna is
placed near a metallic object.
NOTE:
•Do not place under power transmission lines.
Doing so is extremely dangerous.
•To avoid attracting lightning, do not place in
too high a position.
•Connecting the ground wire to a gas pipe is
extremely dangerous. Never do so under any
circumstances.
Connecting an outdoor antenna
In some cases better reception can be achieved by using an outdoor antenna.
•Use an FM antenna adapter (commercially
available) suited for the DRA-F102 DAB’s antenna
terminal.
•Refer to the FM antenna adapter’s operating
instructions for instructions on connecting the
antenna cable to the FM antenna adapter.
