each other. If you must use a common FM/TV (or VCR) antenna, use
a directional linkage type splitter.

Connecting an FM outdoor antenna
Make sure to follow the general rules given below:
• Keep the antenna away from noise sources (neon signs, busy
roads, etc.).
• It is dangerous to put the antenna close to power lines. Keep it
well away from power lines, transformers, etc.
• To avoid the risk of lightning and electrical shock, grounding is
necessary. Follow item 14 of the “Important Safeguards” on
page 2 when you install the outdoor antenna.
Connecting an AM outdoor antenna
If reception is poor with the indoor AM antenna, stretch out the
outdoor antenna (16 feet (5 meters) or more) above a window or
outside.
• Keep the indoor AM loop antenna connected. Do not remove it.
• To avoid the risk of lightning and electrical shock, grounding is
necessary. Follow item 14 of the “Important Safeguards” on
page 2 when you install the outdoor antenna.
Note:
If you are using the TX-SR800 worldwide model in a region where
AM frequencies are delineated by 10-kHz steps, be sure to set the
“AM Frequency Step” Setup setting accordingly (see page 42).
