Note:

If you are using the TX-SR701/701E/601/601E worldwide model in a region where AM frequencies are delineated by 10-kHz steps, be sure to set the “AM Frequency Step” Setup setting accordingly (see page 55).

Directional linkage

Do not use the same antenna for both FM and TV (or VCR) reception since the FM and TV (or VCR) signals can interfere with each other. If you must use a common FM/TV (or VCR) antenna, use a directional linkage type splitter.
