Connecting Antenna—Continued

If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied 
indoor FM antenna, try a commercially available out-
door FM antenna instead.

Notes:
• Outdoor FM antennas work best outside, but usable 

results can sometimes be obtained when installed in an 
attic or loft.

• For best results, install the outdoor FM antenna well 

away from tall buildings, preferably with a clear line 
of sight to your local FM transmitter.

• Outdoor antenna should be located away from possi-

ble noise sources, such as neon signs, busy roads, etc.

• For safety reasons, outdoor antenna should be situated 

well away from power lines and other high-voltage 
equipment.

• Outdoor antenna must be grounded in accordance 

with local regulations to prevent electrical shock haz-
ards.

■ Using a TV/FM Antenna Splitter
It’s best not to use the same antenna for both FM and TV 
reception, as this can cause interference problems. If cir-
cumstances demand it, use a TV/FM antenna splitter, as 
shown.

If good reception cannot be achieved using the supplied 
AM loop antenna, an outdoor AM antenna can be used in 
addition to the loop antenna, as shown.

Outdoor AM antennas work best when installed outside 
horizontally, but good results can sometimes be obtained 
indoors by mounting horizontally above a window. Note 
that the AM loop antenna should be left connected.
Outdoor antenna must be grounded in accordance with 
local regulations to prevent electrical shock hazards.
