Connecting antennas

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.

Directional linkage

Do not use the same antenna for both FM and TV (or VCR) reception since the FM and TV (or VCR) signals can interfere with each other. If you must use a common FM/TV (or VCR) antenna, use a directional linkage type splitter.

Connecting an AM outdoor antenna

An outdoor antenna will be more effective if it is stretched horizontally above a window or outside.

Do not remove the AM loop antenna.

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.
