FM antenna

1. Plug the connector on the FM dipole antenna lead into the FM antenna jack.

2. Spread out the antenna arms and change their orientation as needed to get the best FM

reception.

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

CAUTION:

DO NOT connect your television antenna cable to the FM antenna jack.

AM antenna

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

2. Stand the loop antenna on the base or mount the antenna on a wall, following the

instructions enclosed with the AM antenna.

3. Move the AM loop antenna as far as possible (at least 20 inches or 50 centimeters) from

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

module.

When all connections are completed and you can turn on your system, you may need to

experiment with the orientation of the loop antenna for optimum AM reception.

Note:

AM reception can be adversely affected by a nearby television, when it is on. Turn off the

TV for best AM reception.

Cable radio

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

home. This cable connects to the FM antenna jack on the back panel of the media center.

For instructions on how to make this connection, contact your cable TV provider.

Note:

Make sure your cable radio installation includes a signal splitter to prevent the cable TV

band from entering the media center. For details, contact a qualified installer.
