Connecting antennas
Connecting an FM outdoor antenna
If the FM reception is not very clear with the supplied antenna,
connect an FM outdoor antenna instead of the indoor FM antenna.
Notes
• Install the antenna well away from tall buildings and in an area
where FM stations can directly be received.
• Keep the antenna away from noise sources (neon signs, busy
roads, etc.).
• It is dangerous to put the antenna close to power lines. Keep it
well away from power lines, transformers, etc.
• To avoid the risk of lightning and electrical shock, grounding is
necessary. Follow item 14 of the "Important Safeguards" on
page 2 when you install the outdoor antenna.
Connecting an AM outdoor antenna
An outdoor antenna will be more effective if it is stretched
horizontally above a window or outside.
Leave the supplied AM indoor antenna connected.
Note
To avoid the risk of lightning and electrical shock, grounding is
necessary. Follow item 14 of the "Important Safeguards" on page 2
when you install an outdoor antenna.
Directional Iinkage
Do not use the same antenna for both FM and TV (or VCR) reception since the FM and TV (or VCR) signals can interfere with each other.
If you must use a common FM/TV (or VCR) antenna, use a directional linkage type splitter.
