Question 1

hi .will i be able to pick up dab on fibia optics cable

Accepted Answer

Hi Steve, The Yamaha TD500 tuner has two digital outputs for DAB & FM signals ie; optical AND coaxial outputs to connect to the optical and coaxial inputs of your amplifier respectively. It also has one analogue output that uses standard RCA connectors. I use a compact external DAB aerial that works brilliantly in my location.

Question 2

Is sound quality or reception like to be better than a cheaper dab/fm tuner? i'm trying to understand if this is worth the money or not. thanks.

Accepted Answer

I bought this model around 12 months ago, and up to yet, it's been brilliant. It's in the same position in the kitchen as my old DAB /CD Player which was always being interrupted. I bought a "solid" upright Ariel approx 450mm tall and screwed  it into the back of the Yamaha and it's fantastic. I'm glad I payed the extra for it. It also fit's in with my Pioneer unit's which it's connected to.

Question 3

Hi. Can Yamaha dab tuners be used with Arcam amps?

Accepted Answer

Unfamiliar with the Arcam but so long as the Arcam has left & right (Red & White insulation) phono connectors or a optical in terminal there is no reason for it not to work. try down loading the Manuel of item your considering purchasing & locate connection details page & compare illustrations with connections on rear of your equipment.

Question 4

Hello, can i take dab output from rca analog? is the digital output converted to analog ? i do not have digital input to my hifi but i want dab+

Accepted Answer

You need to connect a stereo "RCA" style connector ( red / black for stereo sometimes you'll find red / white instead)  or use a 3 line lead with same style connectors the third will most probably be yellow as lead is meant for left/right audio with yellow for composite video. in truth electrons don't care what colour the terminals are it simply makes life easier for person connecting to know were to plug each connector at second end. There are leads for component video that don't have colour coding of red/yellow /black or white but will be just as good for job providing the females on each piece of equipment are terminated to its corresponding terminal at secound back panel ie red to red black to black or maybe white if that was makers prefrence. or use 3 single cables with correct type of RCA connector at each end but only terminat one cable at a time. Enjoy DAB+. Just use decent quality cables not skinny cables.
