ANTENNA CONNECTIONS
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.
Outdoor * You may be unable to obtain good FM radio
FM antenna reception depending on your local 
conditions (distance from the broadcast
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 special FM outdoor antenna in a high place as far away from any roads as possible to avoid being affected by automobile ignition noise.
Indoor FM antenna (included)
*Firmly insert the connector into the FM ANT terminal.
Outdoor AM antenna
*If you cannot obtain good reception with the AM loop antenna, connect 5 m to 10 m of vinyl covered wire to the AM ANT terminal and extend it outdoors from a window. (Be sure to also connect the AM loop antenna at this time.)
