Radio Interference

The c-dac15.3 is a digital audio device that has been designed to very high standards of electromagnetic compatibility. Dac cd players generate and can radiate RF (Radio Frequency) energy. In some cases this can cause interference with FM and AM radio reception. If this is the case, keep the dac cd player and its connecting cables as far from the tuner and its antenna. Connecting the c-dac15.3 and the tuner to different mains sockets may also help to reduce interference.
