ANTENNA

To improve AM reception, connect a 5 m to 6 m (16 ft. to 20 ft.) length of vinyl-coated wire to the AM LOOP terminals without disconnecting the supplied AM loop antenna.

For the best possible reception, suspend horizontally outdoors.

Outdoor antenna

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.

5Connect the FM wire antenna into the FM antenna socket.

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

MULTI-ZONE setup

This receiver can power up to three (VSX-1325)/two (VSX- 1125) independent systems in separate rooms after you have made the proper MULTI-ZONE connections. Different sources can be playing in three (VSX-1325)/two (VSX-1125) zones at the same time or, depending on your needs, the same source can also be used. The main and sub zones have independent power (the main zone power can be off while one (or both) of the sub zones is on) and the sub zones can be controlled by the remote or front panel controls.

Important

•The explanations for ZONE 3 below only apply to the VSX-1325.
