Connect the antennas

The rear panel of your Lifestyle

®

music center provides connections for the supplied AM and

FM antennas (Figure14). Unwind each antenna. Antennas provide better reception when

their wires are not bundled.

FM antenna connections

1. Plug the FM antenna connector into the FM ANTENNA jack on the back of the music

center.

2. Spread out the antenna arms. Experiment with both the placement and the angle of this

antenna to provide optimum FM reception.

Note:

A central antenna or cable, or an outdoor FM antenna, may be used with the music

center antenna connections. To install an outdoor antenna, consult a qualified installer.

Follow all safety instructions.

AM antenna connections

1. Plug the AM antenna connector into the AM ANTENNA jack on the back of the music

center.

2. Move the antenna as far as possible from the music center and other components, and

at least four feet (1.2 m) from the Acoustimass

®

module. This prevents interference with

AM reception.

3. To stand the antenna up on a flat surface, extend the wire feet outward. Or, use the

notch on the back of the antenna to hang it on a wall. For proper AM signal reception,

be sure the antenna is in an upright position.

4. You may want to adjust the antenna location or orientation as needed to receive distant

stations.

Connecting to a cable radio signal

To connect your system to the FM signal available from some cable TV companies, contact

your cable provider for assistance. The connection is made to the FM 75Ω EXTERNAL

antenna connector on the back of the system.

CAUTION:

Be certain that the installation includes a signal splitter so that only the FM

band, not the cable TV band, is transmitted to the system. It is necessary to use a splitter

that filters the signal to prevent any re-emissions of the TV spectrum through the system.
