CONNECTING ANTENNAS

Rear Panel

FM Indoor Antenna

In an area with strong FM signals, the T-type FM antenna (supplied) is sufficient.

1.Use a flat or Phillips screwdriver to loosen the screws on the supplied transformer.

2.Place the metal connectors on the end of the T-type antenna’s base on the transformer’s metal contacts (underneath the screw heads) then tighten the screws.

3.Plug the transformer into ANTENNA FM 75 Ω.

4.Extend the T-antenna’s other two wires and attach them to a wall or window frame for the best possible reception.

Note: If you have an FM antenna that uses coaxial cable, connect it directly to ANTENNA FM 75 Ω.

FM Outdoor Antenna

In an area where FM signals are weak, you must use a 75-ohm unbalanced-type outdoor FM antenna (not supplied). Generally, a 3-element antenna will be sufficient. If you live in

an area where the FM signals are particularly weak, it may be necessary to use one with 5 or more elements.

If you have an FM antenna that uses coaxial cable, connect it directly to ANTENNA FM 75 Ω.

If you have a twin-lead FM antenna, connect it to the supplied transformer, then plug the transformer into ANTENNA FM 75 Ω. (see Steps 1–3 of “FM Indoor Antenna”).

AM Indoor Loop Antenna

The supplied high-performance AM loop antenna is sufficient for good reception in most areas.

Connect the loop antenna’s wires to AM and GND. Place the antenna in a location (for example, on a shelf or window frame) that gives the best reception.

Keep the antenna as far away as possible from the entire system, speaker cords and the power cord to prevent unwanted noise.

AM Outdoor Antenna

If the supplied AM loop antenna does not deliver sufficient reception, use an outdoor AM antenna (not supplied).

Use an insulated wire more than 15 feet (5 m) long. Strip one end, and connect that end to AM.

String the antenna wire outdoors or indoors near a window. For better reception, connect the GND terminal to a reliable ground.
