Getting connected

Connecting an FM antenna

The bundled indoor FM antenna is designed for indoor use only.

Using the bundled FM antenna

1.Attach the FM antenna, as shown. U.S. and Canadian models

Strip the insulation from the end of the cable and insert the bare wires fully into the FM terminal, as shown.

Other models

Once the CR-N1 is ready for use, you’ll need to tune into an FM radio station and adjust the position of the FM antenna in order to achieve the best possible recep- tion.

2.Use thumbtacks (drawing pins) or something similar to fix the antenna into position.

Using an outdoor FM antenna

If good reception cannot be achieved using the bundled indoor FM antenna, an outdoor FM antenna can be used instead, as shown.

Outdoor FM antennas work best outside, but good results can sometimes be obtained indoors by mounting in an attic or loft.

Outdoor antenna should be located away from possible noise sources, such as neon signs, busy roads, etc.

For safety reasons, outdoor antenna should be situated well away from power lines.

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.

Using a TV antenna

It’s best not to use the same antenna for both FM and TV reception, as this can cause interference problems. If circumstances demand using the same antenna, use a TV/ FM antenna splitter, as shown.
