Tuner

The FM reception is poor.

•Use a 75-ohm coaxial cable (not supplied) to connect the receiver to an outdoor FM antenna as shown below. If you connect the receiver to an outdoor antenna, ground it against lightning. To prevent a gas explosion, do not connect the ground wire to a gas pipe.

•Check that the antennas are connected securely. Adjust the antennas and connect an external antenna, if necessary.
