Connecting the radio antennas

Connecting up

•Try not to place the surround speakers further away from the listening position than the front and center speakers. Doing so can weaken the surround sound effect.

•Make sure all speakers are installed securely to prevent accidents and improve sound quality.

•Subwoofer and (CX505 model only) front speakers only – Do not attach these speakers to the wall or ceiling. They may fall off and cause injury.

Connecting the supplied antennas will allow you to listen to both AM and FM radio broadcasts. If you find that reception quality is poor, an outdoor antenna should give you better sound quality — see Connecting external antennas below for more on how to do this.

1Pull off the protective shields of both AM antenna wires.

2Push open the tabs, then insert one wire fully into each terminal, then release the tabs to secure the AM antenna wires.

3Fix the AM loop antenna to the stand. To fix the stand to the antenna, bend in the direction indicated by the arrow (fig. a) then clip the loop onto the stand (fig. b).

•If you plan to mount the AM antenna to a wall or other surface, secure the stand with screws (fig. c) before clipping the loop to the stand. Make sure the reception is clear.

4Place the AM antenna on a flat surface and point in the direction giving the best reception.

Don’t let it come into contact with metal objects and avoid placing near computers, television sets or other electrical appliances.

5Connect the FM wire antenna in the same way as the AM loop antenna.

For best results, extend the FM antenna fully and fix to a wall or door frame. Don’t drape loosely or leave coiled up.
