The rear panel of your multi-room interface provides connections for the supplied AM and FM
antennas (Figure 11). Untie and straighten the bundled wires on each antenna. Antennas
provide better reception when their wires are fully extended.

FM antenna connections
1. Plug the FM antenna connector into the FM ANTENNA jack on the back of the interface.
2. Spread out the antenna arms. Experiment with both the placement and the angle of this
antenna to provide optimum FM reception.
Note: A central antenna or cable, or an outdoor FM antenna, may be used with the multi-
room interface antenna connections. To install an outdoor antenna, consult a qualified
installer. Follow all safety instr uctions.
AM antenna connections
Note: To install the AM antenna on a wall, follow the instr uctions enclosed with the antenna.
1. Plug the AM antenna microplug into the AM ANTENNA jack on the interface.
2. Stand the loop antenna on the base, following the instructions enclosed with the antenna.
3. Move the loop part of the antenna as far away from the multi-room interface as possible,
but at least 20 inches (50 cm) away, and at least 4 feet (1.2 m) from the Acoustimass
module. Experiment with the orientation of the loop for optimum AM reception.
Connecting to a cable radio signal
To connect your system to the FM signal available from some cable TV companies, contact
your cable provider for assistance. The connection is made to the FM 75 EXTERNAL
antenna connector on the back of the interface.
CAUTION: Be certain that the installation includes a signal splitter so that only the FM band,
not the cable TV band, is transmitted to the system. It is necessary to use a splitter that filters
the signal to prevent any re-emissions of the TV spectr um through the system.
