Connecting antennas
If the reception condition cannot be improved by adjusting the provided antenna, install an outdoor antenna and connect it to this unit.
Connecting an FM outdoor antenna
Please make sure that you follow the considerations:
•Keep the antenna away from noise sources (neon signs, busy roads, etc.).
•It is dangerous to put the antenna close to power lines. Keep it well away from power lines, transformers, etc.
•To avoid the risk of lightning and electrical shock, grounding is necessary. Follow item 14 of the “Important Safeguards” on page 2 when you install the outdoor antenna.
