Snap the tabs on the loop into the slots of the base to assemble the AM loop antenna.
FM Antenna (supplied)
Cooling fan (See “About Cooling Fan” below.)
FM antenna connection
1.Connect the FM antenna supplied to the FM 75Ω
COAXIAL terminal.
2.Slowly move the antenna wire around until you find a location where reception is good, then fasten it to a wall or other rigid surface.
•If reception is poor, connect an outdoor antenna. Before attaching a 75Ω coaxial cable (with a standard type connector), disconnect the supplied FM antenna.
AM(MW/LW) antenna connection
1.Connect the AM loop antenna supplied to the AM and 
terminals.
2.If reception is poor, connect an outdoor single vinyl-covered wire to the AM terminal. (Keep the AM loop antenna connected).
(About the cooling fan)
A cooling fan is mounted on the rear panel of the center unit to prevent abnormal temperature inside the center unit, thus assuring normal operation. The cooling fan automatically starts rotating to supply external cool air to the inside of the center unit when the internal temperature exceeds the specified limit.
For safety, observe the following carefully.
•Make sure there is good ventilation around the center unit. Poor ventilation could overheat and cause damage.
•DO NOT block the cooling fan and the ventilation openings or holes. (If they are blocked by a newspaper or cloth, etc., the heat may not be able to escape.)
