Connecting the antennas
The rear panel of your Lifestyle ® music center provides connections for AM and FM antennas
(Figure 12). Unwind each antenna’s wires. Antennas provide better reception when their wires
are not bundled.
Note: Outdoor antennas may be used with the music center antenna connections. To install
an outdoor antenna, consult a qualified installer. Follow all safety instructions.

Connecting to a cable radio signal
To connect your system to the FM signal available from some cable TV companies, contact
your cable provider for assistance. The connection is made to the FM 75
Ω
EXTERNAL
antenna connector on the back of the system.
CAUTION: Be certain that the installation includes a signal splitter so that only the FM band,
not the cable TV band, is transmitted to the system. It is necessary to use a splitter that filters
the signal to prevent any re-emissions of the TV spectrum through the system.
