The FM reception is poor.
• Use a 75-ohm coaxial cable (not supplied) 
to connect the receiver to an outdoor FM 
antenna as shown below. If you connect 
the receiver to an outdoor antenna, ground 
it against lightning. To prevent a gas 
explosion, do not connect the ground wire 
to a gas pipe.
Radio stations cannot be tuned in.
• Check that the antennas are connected 
securely. Adjust the antennas and connect 
an external antenna, if necessary.
• The signal strength of the stations is too 
weak (when tuning in with automatic 
tuning). Use direct tuning (page 38).
• Make sure you set the tuning interval 
correctly (when tuning in AM stations 
with direct tuning).
• No stations have been preset or the preset 
stations have been cleared (when tuning by 
scanning preset stations). Preset the 
stations (page 40).

picture appears on the TV screen or

the remote and the receiver.

new ones, if they are weak.
