FM antenna
Plug the connector into the FM antenna jack on the media center rear panel. Spread out the antenna arms at the other end and move them around to establish optimum FM reception. Extend the antenna as far from the media center and other external equipment as possible.
AM antenna
1.Plug the connector into the AM antenna jack on the media center.
2.Move the antenna loop as far as possible, at least 20 inches (50 centimeters) from the media center and at least 4 feet (1.2 meters) from the Acoustimass® module. Experiment with positioning the loop for optimum AM reception.
3.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 center. 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.
