Reception:
The internal FM antenna will provide good reception. Using the supplied external FM antenna may improve reception. Be sure to set the rear panel switch to "External" when using an external FM antenna. Do not bundle the FM antenna with the power cord or other cords.
Locating the FM antenna near a window or outside wall will yield the best results. An optional outdoor FM antenna will provide the best possible reception. Connecting your cable television’s 75ohm coaxial cable to the external FM antenna input may also provide clear, local reception. However, you must usually request activation of this service by your cable provider.
Buildings made with concrete, steel, or aluminum siding will hinder reception. Household appliances, electric blankets, computers, CD players, microwave ovens, and other electronic devices can also adversely affect reception or inject noise. If you experience this, move the iYiYi sound system further from the offending device or plug it into an electrical outlet not shared by another device.
For AM reception, since the AM antenna is internal, position the unit for best AM reception. Note: metal surfaces may hinder AM reception.
RDS:
The Radio Data System (RDS) transmits text data along with the audio broadcast. Not all stations use RDS, thus text may not be present on some stations. For stations using RDS, the text still might not appear or may appear scrambled if the signal is too weak. In such cases, experiment with the FM antenna’s location and position.
Note: RDS content is determined by each individual station. If the content shown is inaccurate, that is not the fault of the iYiYi sound system. There are also limits to the kinds of characters that can be displayed. Therefore, it is not unusual to see a different character or blank space in cases where the precise character can't be reproduced.
Placement:
Place the unit on a solid, flat, stable surface. The system is shielded and may be used in close proximity to a computer monitor or television set. Placing the iYiYi sound system in a bookcase, corner, or flush against a wall or other flat surface will restrict the output of the bass ports, yielding an unnatural bass sound. The bass ports also double as internal heat ventilation.
Note: the LCD can be affected by cold and hot temperatures.
Cleaning:
Never use any harsh cleansers or solvents on your unit. The high gloss fi nish is subject to scratching, particularly the black color, so care should be exercised during dusting/cleaning. For your own safety, always disconnect the power when cleaning the iYiYi sound system.
