Connecting the antennas

The AM and FM antennas connect to the AM and FM terminals on the
system’s back panel. They must be hooked up for you to receive clear
reception. Follow the same connection procedures as those for your
speakers.

After connecting the antennas, extend them to their full length and adjust
their positioning for better radio station reception.
