I get good results using that type of dipole antenna but it's highly position-dependent, especially for weaker stations. Don't let it just sit on the floor - you have to raise it up. AFAIK, there is no internal antenna in the Beocenter.

thanks for your reply i have mine hooked up round the top of a picture frame.it just doesn't draw in as many stations automatically as my previous one did.just wondered why

hi again question please?

have bought a ribbon type fm aerial lead and to be honest i find the radio reception not very good. a lot of the fm radio stations i used to receive on my previous stereo i don't seem to get on this system (whilst using the search facility).my questions are do i need to find out the station frequencies and manually tune them in or is there a fm aerial specific to the b&0 that i need to buy?

this is the one i purchased............http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FM-AERIAL-KIT-RADIO-RECEIVERS-BALUN-UNIVERSAL-/310283558296?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item483e575d98#ht_2062wt_825

just as an observation you don't seem to be able to receive any stations without any aerial plugged in,i assume this is because there is no internal aerial in this unit.
