CONNECTIONS

Before using your Model 36 for the first time,
read through this entire section to determine
which connections best meet your needs. Then
follow the directions for completing the connec-
tions.
Notes:
• You can connect many different types of
audio/video systems such as a stereo
receiver/amplifier, a satellite receiver, or a
combination of a cable system and outside
antenna to your Model 36. These connec-
tions might require additional supplies that
are available from your local RadioShack
store.
• Disconnect power from the Model 36 when
making connections. Do not connect the
Model 36's power cord (AC or DC) until you
complete all other connections.

CHOOSING A LOCATION

• air flows freely on all sides of the Model 36
• the power cord (AC or DC) is not in the way
of normal traffic
