Connecting the Radio Antennas
Before making or changing the connections, switch off the power and disconnect the power cord from
the AC outlet.
Connect the supplied FM wire antenna and the AM loop antenna to the ANTENNA terminals as shown
below. These antennas should provide adequate reception quality in most cases, but connecting outdoor
antennas should noticeably improve sound quality.
