ANTENNA

Your new receiver comes with an AM loop antenna for AM radio reception. To connect the AM antenna:

1.Insert the antenna loop into the base and position the loop.

2.Open the receiver’s antenna terminal levers.

3.Insert the antenna’s wires into the terminal as shown above.

4.Close the antenna terminal levers to lock the wires in place.

5.Adjust the antenna loop as necessary to improve recep- tion.

To prevent hum interference, keep the AM antenna wires away from speaker wires, AC power cords, the TV chassis, and the receiver.

ANTENNA

Your new receiver also comes with an FM indoor antenna for FM radio reception. To connect the FM antenna:

1.Attach the antenna sheath to the pole in the center of the receiver’s FM antenna jack, as shown above. When you attach the sheath for the first time, you may need to exert quite a bit of pressure.

2.Adjust the antenna as necessary to improve reception.

3.Tack the looped end of the antenna in the location that provides the best reception.

FM Outdoor Antenna

ANTENNA

Kenwood recommends a permanently installed outdoor FM antenna for best FM reception. To connect an outdoor FM antenna:

1.Connect the antenna wire to a standard, commercially available antenna adapter as shown above.

2.Connect the adapter to the receiver’s FM antenna jack.
