CONNECTIONS

Connecting the Antennas

Both AM and FM indoor antennas are included with this unit. In general, these antennas should provide sufficient signal strength. However, a properly installed outdoor antenna provides clearer reception than an indoor one. If you experience poor reception quality, an outdoor antenna may improve the quality.

Connect each antenna correctly to the designated terminals.

■Indoor FM antenna (included)

Indoor FM antenna

Firmly insert the connector into the FM ANT terminal. The indoor FM antenna is only a simple antenna. For reception with better sound quality, installing the outdoor FM antenna (commercially available) is recommended.

Note

•Do not connect an outdoor FM antenna and the indoor FM antenna at the same time.

■Outdoor FM antenna

You may be unable to obtain good FM radio reception depending on your local conditions (distance from the broadcasting station, interposing buildings and mountains, etc.). Consult your dealer or authorized service center and be sure to install an antenna that suits your local conditions.

Install the outdoor FM antenna (commercially available) in a high place as far away from any roads as possible to avoid being affected by automobile ignition noise.
