• Find a place and an orientation that provide
good reception, then set up the antenna again.
If you cannot obtain good reception, we
recommend you connect a commercially
available external antenna.
• The supplied FM lead antenna receives
signals along its entire length, so make sure
you extend it fully.
• Locate the antennas as far away from the
speaker cords as possible.

equipments.
