Stretch out the FM antenna to the best position for radio reception.

Communal antenna terminal

Outdoor FM antenna (not supplied)

Coaxial cable (not supplied)

Preparation

Turn the AM loop antenna to find the best position for radio reception.

NOTE

• Make sure that the antenna conductors do not touch any other terminals. This could cause poor reception.

• When using an antenna other than those supplied with this system, refer to the operation manuals for the antenna and converter for details of connection.

• When positioning the antennas, find the best position for reception while listening to an actual radio program (refer to “Listening to radio broadcasts” on page 15).

Data hierarchy

Handling discs

DVD VIDEO and DVD VR

A VCD, SVCD or CD consists of “tracks”. In general, each track has its own track number. (On some discs, each track may also be further divided by indexes.)

Track 1 Track 2 Track 3 Track 4 Track 5

MP3, WMA, WAV, JPEG, ASF, DivX, MPEG1 and MPEG2 files

Audio, still pictures and video are recorded as tracks/files on a disc or a USB device. Tracks/files are usually grouped into a folder. Folders can also include other folders, creating hierarchical folder layers. This system simplifies the hierarchical construction of files and manages folders by “groups”.
