Connecting the AM Antenna

Rear Panel of the Center Unit

• The AM loop antenna can be attached to a wall.

• If the AM loop antenna wire is covered with vinyl, remove the vinyl by twisting it as shown in the diagram.
• Make sure the antenna conductors do not touch any other terminals, connecting cords and power cord.

This could cause poor reception.

• If reception is poor, connect an outdoor single vinyl-covered wire to the AM EXT terminal. (Keep the AM loop 

antenna connected.)
