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

Connecting external antennas

To improve FM reception, connect an external FM antenna to FM UNBAL 75 Ω.

MULTI-ZONE setup

This receiver can power up to two independent systems in separate rooms after you have made the proper MULTI-ZONE connections.

Different sources can be playing in two zones at the same time or, depending on your needs, the same source can also be used. The main and sub zone have independent power (the main zone power can be off while sub zone is on) and the sub zone can be controlled by the remote or front panel controls.

Making MULTI-ZONE connections

It is possible to make these connections if you have a separate TV and speakers for the sub zone (ZONE 2). You will also need a separate amplifier if you are not using the MULTI-ZONE setup using speaker terminals (ZONE 2) on page 21 for the sub zone.

Basic MULTI-ZONE setup (ZONE 2)

1Connect a separate amplifier to the AUDIO ZONE 2 OUT jacks on this receiver. You should have a pair of speakers attached to the sub zone amplifier as shown in the follow- ing illustration.

2Connect a TV monitor to the VIDEO ZONE 2 OUT jack on this receiver.

EXTENSION

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 attached 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 in a direction giving the best reception.

AM LOOP terminals without disconnecting the supplied AM loop antenna.

For the best possible reception, suspend horizontally outdoors.
