Connecting antennas
Connect the AM loop antenna and the FM wire antenna as
shown below. To improve reception and sound quality,
connect external antennas (see
Using external antennas
below
).
1
Push open the tabs, then insert one wire fully into each
terminal, then release the tabs to secure the AM antenna
wires.
2
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).
3
Place the AM antenna on a flat surface and in a direction
giving the best reception.
4
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.
Using external antennas
To improve FM reception
Use an F connector (not supplied) to connect an external FM
antenna.
To improve AM reception
Connect a 5 m to 6 m (16 ft. to 20 ft.) length of vinyl-coated
wire to the AM antenna terminal without disconnecting the
supplied AM loop antenna.
For the best possible reception, suspend horizontally
outdoors.
Connecting an IR receiver (VSX-1023 only)
If you keep your stereo components in a closed cabinet or
shelving unit, or you wish to use the sub zone remote control
in another zone, you can use an optional IR receiver (such as
a Niles or Xantech unit) to control your system instead of the
remote sensor on the front panel of this receiver.
Note
•
Remote operation may not be possible if direct light from a
strong fluorescent lamp is shining on the IR receiver
remote sensor window.
•
Note that other manufacturers may not use the IR terminology.
Refer to the manual that came with your component to check for
IR compatibility.
Connect the IR receiver sensor to the IR IN jack on the
rear of this receiver.
For more information on connecting the IR receiver, see the
Installation Instructions for the IR Receiver.
