FM antenna

Plug the connector into the FM antenna jack on the media center rear panel. Spread out the
antenna arms at the other end and move them around to establish optimum FM reception.
Extend the antenna as far from the media center and other external equipment as possible.

AM antenna

1. Plug the connector into the AM antenna jack on the media center.
2. Move the antenna loop as far as possible, at least 20 inches (50 centimeters) from the
media center and at least 4 feet (1.2 meters) from the Acoustimass
with positioning the loop for optimum AM reception.
3. Follow the instructions enclosed with the AM loop antenna to stand it on the supplied
base, or mount it to a wall.

Connecting cable FM radio

Some cable TV providers make FM radio signals available through the cable service to your
home. This connection is made to the external FM jack on the back panel of the media center.
To connect to this service, contact your cable TV provider for assistance.
Note: Make sure that the cable radio installation includes a TV/FM splitter so that only the
FM radio band, not the cable TV band, is received by the media center. If necessary, contact
your cable company.
