Connect the loop antenna’s wires to
AM
and
GND
. Place the
antenna in a location (for example, on a shelf or window
frame) that gives the best reception.
Keep the antenna as far away as possible from the entire
system, speaker cords and the power cord to prevent
unwanted noise.
AM Outdoor Antenna
If the supplied AM loop antenna does not deliver sufficient
reception, use an outdoor AM antenna (not supplied).
Use an insulated wire more than 15 feet (5 m) long. Strip one
end, and connect that end to
AM
.
String the antenna wire outdoors or indoors near a window.
For better reception, connect the
GND
terminal to a reliable
ground.
CONNECTING THE SPEAKERS
When connecting equipment, always make sure the power is
switched off and the power cord is disconnected from the wall
