Connecting Antennas

This section explains how to connect the supplied indoor FM antenna and AM loop antenna, and how to connect commercially available outdoor FM and AM antennas. The CBX-300 won’t pick up any radio signals without an antenna connected, so you must connect the antenna to use the tuner.

Connecting the AM Loop Antenna

The supplied indoor AM loop antenna is for indoor use only.

1 Assemble the AM loop antenna, inserting the tabs into the base, as shown.

Connecting the Indoor FM Antenna

The supplied indoor FM antenna is for indoor use only.

1 Attach the FM antenna, as shown.

2 Connect both wires of the AM loop antenna to the AM push terminals, as shown.

The antenna’s wires are not polarity sensitive, so they can be connected either way around.

Make sure that the wires are attached securely and that the push terminals are gripping the bare wires, not the insulation.

Insert the plug fully into the jack.

Once the CBX-300 is ready for use, you’ll need to tune into an FM radio station and adjust the posi- tion of the FM antenna to achieve the best possi- ble reception.

2 Use thumbtacks or something similar to ﬁx the FM antenna into position.

Thumbtacks, etc.

Caution: Be careful that you don’t injure yourself when using thumbtacks.

If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied indoor FM antenna, try a commercially available out- door FM antenna instead (see page 17).

Once the CBX-300 is ready for use, you’ll need to tune into an AM radio station and adjust the posi- tion of the AM antenna to achieve the best possi- ble reception.

Keep the antenna as far away as possible from the CBX-300, power cord, and your TV.

If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied indoor AM loop antenna, try using it with a commer- cially available outdoor AM antenna (see page 17).
