Connecting FM / HD RadioTM Receiver Antenna / to a Cable Radio Signal

This Radio's FM Antenna Connector is a standard connector that will accept either the FM Antenna wire (included) or the cable FM feed from most cable systems that provide FM programming. To connect the included FM Antenna wire, slide the black plastic end of the antenna wire onto the center post of the antenna connector on the back of the unit. To connect your Radio to the FM signal available from some cable TV providers, contact your cable TV provider for assistance and also to find out if HD RadioTM broadcast signals are available through the cable line. As of the writing of this manual, HD RadioTM signals are not being rebroadcast via cable providers.

Be sure that the installation includes a splitter that will filter the signal to prevent any re-emission of the TV spectrum through the Radio, so that only the FM band, not the cable TV signal, is transmitted to the Radio.
