Rear Panel Connections

• Do not plug the AC input cord into the AC outlet when making connections.

• Be sure to connect the white plugs to the L(Left) jacks and the red plugs to the R (Right) jacks when making connections.

• Refer to the connecting diagram in the operating instructions of your amplifier.

ENGLISH

1. CONNECTING ANTENNAS

• Change the position of the FM indoor antenna until you get the best reception of your favorite FM stations.

• A 75Ω outdoor FM antenna may be used to further improve the reception. Disconnect the i nd oo r antenna before replacing it with the outdoor one.

• Place the AM loop antenna as far as possible from the receiver, TV set, speaker cords and the AC input cord and set it to a direction for the best reception.

• If the reception is poor with the AM loop antenna, an AM outdoor antenna can be used in place of the AM loop antenna.
