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.

• If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied indoor AM loop antenna, try using it with a commercially available outdoor

AM antenna.

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.
