Wiring hi-fi system to AM, FM and DAB aerials

[pg562]

My parents live in a bad signal area and have asked me to install a loft-mounted aerial for their hi-fi system. I have done this many times for TVs, but radio is completely new to me. Please forgive my ignorance here! Here is an extract from their hi-fi manual which shows that AM, FM and DAB are all separate inputs. From researching online, I understand that AM, FM and DAB aerials are different, so I am happy to install three separate aerials in the loft if necessary. Is this the best way? If so, what wallplate would I need behind the hi-fi please?

I live in a rubbish area for signal (TV and hi-fi), so had an engineer connect the FM tuner to the outside TV antenna. Generally it's excellent - high winds can tend to knock out of kilter, though. Alternatively, I used to have the FM taken up through the ceiling and wrapped around the loft beam. Anywhere that's high is usually better.

Although it doesn't mention AM, do people actually use this anymore?, there is a good article here:-

A low tech option is for them to link their tv and/or freeview box to their stereo system and listen to the freeview digital radio broadcasts that way....i know fm can be better but it's a simple solution if the tv aerial is working well. Modern tvs have only digital outputs and would need a dac, but freeview boxes still often have analogue outs.
