FM dipole antenna
The rear panel of the media center provides jacks for the AM and FM antennas included with your system (Figure 10). Unwind the wires for each antenna to provide the best reception.
Note: An outdoor antenna may be used in place of the supplied indoor antennas. To add an outdoor antenna, consult a qualified installer. Follow all safety instructions sup- plied with the antenna.
Media center
AM loop antenna
FM antenna
Plug the FM antenna into the FM jack on the media center rear panel. Spread out the antenna arms and move them around to establish optimum FM reception. Extend the antenna as far from the media center and other equipment as possible.
AM antenna
Plug the AM loop antenna into the AM jack on the media center rear panel. Place the antenna loop at least 20 inches (50 centimeters) away from the media center and at least 4 feet (1.2 meters) away from the Acoustimass® module. Experiment with positioning the loop for opti- mum AM reception. Follow the instructions enclosed with the AM loop antenna to stand it on the supplied base, or mount it to a wall.
Connecting cable FM radio
Some cable TV providers make FM radio signals available through the cable service to your home. This connection is made to the external FM jack on the back panel of the media cen- ter. To connect to this service, contact your cable TV provider for assistance.
Note: Make sure that the cable radio installation includes a TV/FM splitter so that only the
FM radio band, not the cable TV band, is received by the media center. If necessary, contact your cable company.
