Once your TX-SR501/TX-SR501E is ready for use,
you'll need to tune into an FM radio station and
adjust the position of the FM antenna to achieve the
best possible reception.
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 outdoor FM
antenna instead (see page 23).

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.
Once your TX-SR501/TX-SR501E is ready for use,
you'll need to tune into an AM radio station and
adjust the position of the AM antenna to achieve the
best possible reception. Keep the antenna as far away
as possible from your TX-SR501/TX-SR501E, TV,
speaker cables, and power cords.
If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied
indoor AM loop antenna, try using it with a commercially
available outdoor AM antenna (see page 23).
