Connecting FM Antenna
This section explains how to connect the supplied indoor FM antenna.
The CD receiver won’t pick up any radio signals if no antenna is connected, so you must connect the antenna to use the
tuner.
Note:
• Once your CD receiver is ready for use, you’ll need to tune into a radio station and position the antenna to achieve
the best possible reception.
If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied
indoor FM antenna, try a commercially available
outdoor FM antenna instead.
Note:
• Outdoor FM antennas work best outside, but usable
results can sometimes be obtained when installed in an
attic or loft.
• For best results, install the outdoor FM antenna well
away from tall buildings, preferably with a clear line
of sight to your local FM transmitter.
• Outdoor antenna should be located away from
possible noise sources, such as neon signs, busy roads,
etc.
• For safety reasons, outdoor antenna should be situated
well away from power lines and other high-voltage
equipment.
• Outdoor antenna must be grounded in accordance
with local regulations to prevent electrical shock
hazards.

Using a TV / FM Antenna Splitter
It’s best not to use the same antenna for both FM and TV
reception, as this can cause interference problems.
If circumstances demand it, use a TV / FM antenna
splitter, as shown.
Connecting an Outdoor FM Antenna

the jack.
