Connecting AM/FM antennas
Connect the AM loop antenna and the FM wire antenna 
as shown below. To improve reception and sound quality, 
connect external antennas (see Connecting external 
antennas
 below).
1
Pull off the protective shields of both AM antenna 
wires.
2
Push open the tabs, then insert one wire fully into 
each terminal, then release the tabs to secure the AM 
antenna wires.
3
Fix the AM loop antenna to the attached stand.
To fix the stand to the antenna, bend in the direction 
indicated by the arrow (fig. a) then clip the loop onto the 
stand (fig. b).
• If  you  plan to mount the AM antenna to a wall or other 
surface, secure the stand with screws (fig. c) before 
clipping the loop to the stand. Make sure the 
reception is clear.
4
Place the AM antenna on a flat surface and in a 
direction giving the best reception. 
5
Connect the FM wire antenna into the FM antenna 
socket.
For best results, extend the FM antenna fully and fix to a 
wall or door frame. Don’t drape loosely or leave coiled up.
Connecting external antennas
To improve FM reception, connect an external FM 
antenna to FM UNBAL 75
Ω.
To improve AM reception, connect a 5 m to 6 m (16 ft. to 
20 ft.) length of vinyl-coated wire to the AM LOOP 
terminals without disconnecting the supplied AM loop 
antenna. 
For the best possible reception, suspend horizontally 
outdoors.
MULTI-ZONE setup
This receiver can power up to three (VSX-33)/two (VSX-32) 
independent systems in separate rooms after you have 
made the proper MULTI-ZONE connections.
Different sources can be playing in three (VSX-33)/two 
(VSX-32) zones at the same time or, depending on your 
needs, the same source can also be used. The main and 
sub zones have independent power (the main zone power 
can be off while one (or both) of the sub zones is on) and 
the sub zones can be controlled by the remote or front 
panel controls.
 Important
• The  explanations for ZONE 3 below only apply to the 
VSX-33.
