Connecting the antennas

You should connect the additional AM and FM antennas, included with your system, to the

rear panel of the media center (Figure 12).

Connections for the AM

and FM antennas

Note: The FM jack (75 ohm) can be used with an outdoor antenna. To do this, consult a qual-

ified installer. Follow all safety instructions supplied with the antenna.

CAUTION: Do not attempt to connect a television cable to the FM antenna jack.

Connecting the FM antenna

Plug the connector on the FM dipole antenna lead into the FM antenna jack. Spread out the

antenna arms. Change the orientation of the antenna arms to get optimum FM reception.

Place the antenna as far from the media center and other components as possible.

Connecting the AM antenna

Note: To mount the AM antenna on a wall, follow the instructions enclosed with the antenna.

1. Plug the connector on the AM antenna lead into the AM antenna jack.

2. Stand the loop antenna on the base, following the instructions enclosed with the AM

antenna.

3. Move the AM loop antenna as far as possible, at least 20 inches (50 cm), from the media

center, and at least 2 feet (60 cm) from the Acoustimass

module. Experiment with the

orientation of the loop for optimum AM reception.

Note: AM radio reception may be adversely affected by your television. For best AM recep-

tion, turn the television off.

Connecting to a cable radio provider

Some cable TV providers make FM radio signals available through the cable service to your

home. This connection is made to the FM antenna jack on the back panel of the media cen-

ter. To connect to this service, contact your cable TV provider for assistance.

Note: Make sure that the cable radio installation includes a signal splitter so that only the FM

radio band, not the cable TV band, is received by the media center. If necessary, contact a

qualified installer.
