Using the bundled AM loop antenna

1.Push

2. Insert

3. Release

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

Once the CR-N1 is ready for use, you’ll need to tune into an AM radio station and adjust the position of the AM antenna in order to achieve the best possible reception. Keep it as far away as possible from the CR-N1, speaker cables, power cord, and your computer.

Using an outdoor AM antenna

If good reception cannot be achieved using the bundled AM loop antenna, an outdoor AM antenna can be used as well, as shown.

Outdoor antenna

Outdoor AM antennas work best outside, but good results can sometimes be obtained indoors by mounting horizontally above a window. Note that the AM loop antenna should be left connected.

Outdoor antenna must be grounded in accordance with local regulations to prevent electrical shock hazards. See item 14 of “Important safeguards” at the front of this manual.
