Each antenna should be correctly connected to the designated terminals, referring to the following diagram.
Both AM and FM indoor antennas are included with this unit. In general, these antennas will probably provide sufficient signal strength. Nevertheless, a properly installed outdoor antenna will give clearer reception than an indoor one. If you experience poor reception quality, an outdoor antenna may result in improvement.

Orient so that the best reception is obtained.
*The AM loop antenna should be placed away from this unit. The antenna may be hung on a wall.
*The AM loop antenna always should be connected, even if an outdoor AM antenna is connected to this unit.
For maximum safety and minimum interference, connect the GND terminal to a good earth ground. A good earth ground is a metal stake driven into moist earth.
Notes
•When connecting the indoor FM antenna, firmly insert its connector
into the FM ANT terminal.
• If you need an outdoor FM antenna to
improve FM reception quality, either
cable may be used. In locations
troubled by electrical interference, coaxial cable is preferable.
