Connecting Antenna
This section explains how to connect the supplied indoor FM antenna and AM loop antenna.
The AV receiver won’t pick up any radio signals without any antenna connected, so you must connect the antenna to use the tuner.

Note
•Once your AV receiver is ready for use, you’ll need to tune into a radio station and position the antenna to achieve the best possible reception.
•Keep the AM loop antenna as far away as possible from your AV receiver, TV, speaker cables, and power cords.
Tip
•If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied indoor FM antenna, try a commercially available outdoor FM antenna instead.

Note
•Before connecting the power cord, connect all of your speakers and AV components.
•Turning on the AV receiver may cause a momentary power surge that might interfere with other electrical equipment on the same circuit. If this is a problem, plug the AV receiver into a different branch circuit.
•Do not use a power cord other than the one supplied with the AV receiver. The supplied power cord is designed exclusively for use with the AV receiver and should not be used with any other equipment.
•Never disconnect the power cord from the AV receiver while the other end is still plugged into a wall outlet. Doing so may cause an electric shock. Always disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet first, and then the AV receiver.
