1 Pull off the protective shields of both
AM antenna wires.
2 Push open the tabs, then insert one
wire fully into each terminal, then release
the tabs to secure the AM antenna wires.
3 Fix the AM loop antenna to the
attached stand.
To fix the stand to the antenna, bend in the
direction indicated by the arrow (
fig. a
) then clip
the loop onto the stand (
fig. b
).
!
If you plan to mount the AM antenna to a
wall or other surface, secure the stand with
screws (
fig. c
) before clipping the loop to the
stand. Make sure the reception is clear.
4 Place the AM antenna on a flat
surface and in a direction giving the best
reception.
5 Connect the FM wire antenna into the
FM antenna socket.
For best results, extend the FM antenna fully
and fix to a wall or door frame. Don’t drape
loosely or leave coiled up.
Connecting external antennas
To improve FM reception, connect an external
FM antenna to

For the best possible reception, suspend hori-
zontally outdoors.

MULTI-ZONE setup
This receiver can power up to three indepen-
dent systems in separate rooms after you have
made the proper MULTI-ZONE connections.
Different sources can be playing in three zones
at the same time or, depending on your needs,
the same source can also be used. The main
and sub zones have independent power (the
main zone power can be off while one (or both)
of the sub zones is on) and the sub zones can
be controlled by the remote or front panel
controls.
Making MULTI-ZONE connections
It is possible to make these connections if
you have a separate TV and speakers for your
primary (
ZONE 2
) sub zone, and a separate TV
and a separate amplifier (and speakers) for your
secondary (
ZONE 3
) sub zone. You will also
need a separate amplifier if you are not using
the
MULTI-ZONE setup using speaker terminals
(ZONE 2)
on page 27 for your primary sub zone.
There are two primary sub zone setups possible
with this system. Choose whichever works best
for you.
MULTI-ZONE listening options
The following table shows the signals that can
be output to ZONE 2 and ZONE 3:
