Connecting Antenna

This section explains how to connect the supplied indoor
FM antenna and AM loop antenna, and how to connect
commercially available outdoor FM and AM antennas.
The AV receiver won't pick up any radio signals without
any antenna connected, so you must connect the antenna
to use the tuner.

2
Use thumbtacks or something similar to
fix the FM antenna into position.
Caution: Be careful that you don't injure yourself
when using thumbtacks.
If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied
indoor FM antenna, try a commercially available out-
door FM antenna instead (see page 32).
Connecting the AM Loop Antenna
The supplied indoor AM loop antenna is for indoor use
only.
1 Assemble the AM loop antenna, inserting
the tabs into the base, as shown.
2
Connect both wires of the AM loop
antenna to the AM push terminals, as
shown.
(The antenna's wires are not polarity sensitive, so
they can be connected either way around).
Make sure that the wires are attached securely and
that the push terminals are gripping the bare
wires, not the insulation.
