Connecting the Antennas
Both AM and FM indoor antennas are included with this unit. In general, these antennas should provide sufficient signal
strength. However, a properly installed outdoor antenna provides clearer reception than an indoor one. If you experience poor
reception quality, an outdoor antenna may improve the quality.
Connect each antenna correctly to the designated terminals.
■
Indoor FM antenna (included)
Firmly insert the connector into the FM ANT terminal. The
indoor FM antenna is only a simple antenna. For reception
with better sound quality, installing the outdoor FM antenna
(commercially available) is recommended.
Note
• Do not connect an outdoor FM antenna and the indoor FM
antenna at the same time.
■
Outdoor FM antenna
You may be unable to obtain good FM radio reception
depending on your local conditions (distance from the
broadcasting station, interposing buildings and
mountains, etc.). Consult your dealer or authorized service
center and be sure to install an antenna that suits your local
conditions.
Install the outdoor FM antenna (commercially available) in
a high place as far away from any roads as possible to avoid
being affected by automobile ignition noise.
