Connecting the included antennas

Connecting the FM indoor antenna:
The FM indoor antenna is for indoor use only. During use, extend the
antenna and move it in various directions until the clearest signal is
received. Fix it with push pins or similar implements in the position
that will cause the least amount of distortion.
If the reception is not very clear with the attached FM indoor
antenna, the use of an outdoor antenna is recommended.
Connecting the AM loop antenna:
The AM loop antenna is for indoor use only. Set it in the direction
and position where you receive the clearest sound. Put it as far away
as possible from the TX-DS696, televisions, speaker cables, and
power cords.
When reception is not satisfactory with the attached AM loop
antenna alone, connection of an outdoor antenna is recommended.
