Connecting the Radio Antennas

Before making or changing the connections, switch off the power and disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet.

Connect the supplied FM wire antenna and the AM loop antenna to the ANTENNA terminals as shown below. These antennas should provide adequate reception quality in most cases, but connecting outdoor antennas should noticeably improve sound quality.
