Connecting Antennas; Connecting An Outdoor Fm Antenna - Onkyo CS-265 Instruction Manual

Connecting Antennas

This section explains how to connect the supplied indoor FM antenna and AM loop antenna.
The CD receiver won't pick up any radio signals if no antenna is connected, so you must connect the antenna to use
the tuner.

Insert the plug fully into the
jack.
Note:
• Once your CD receiver is ready for use, you'll need to tune into a radio station and position the antenna to achieve
the best possible reception.
• Keep the AM loop antenna as far away as possible from your receiver, TV, speaker cables, and power cords.
• Use thumbtacks to fix the position of the included FM antenna so that it will have no slack and achieve the best
possible reception. In general, locations near windows will be better for reception.
Tip:
• If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied indoor FM antenna, try a commercially available outdoor
FM antenna instead.

If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied

• Outdoor FM antennas work best outside, but usable
results can sometimes be obtained when installed in
