• If the AM loop antenna wire o1"speaker cords are covered with
viuyl, remove the vinyl to expose the tip of the antenna by
twisting the vinyh
• Make sure the antenna conductors do not touch any other
terminals, connecting cords aud power cord. Also, keep the
antennas away from metallic parts of the System, counectiug
cords, aud tbe AC power cord. This could cause poor
coudition.
For better FM/AM reception
Outdoor FM antenna

Vinyl-covered wire (not supplied)
When reception is poor, connect a single
vinyl-covered wire to the AM EXT terminal
and extend it horizontally.

wire with coaxial type connector.
To connectthe speakercords
• The supplied speakers do not conform to maguetically
shielded desigu. Place the speakers enough distance fi'om
a TV so tbat they do not cause color irregularity on the TV.
• When connecting the speaker cords, match tbeir polarity
with that of tbe speaker terminals: red/blue to (+) and black
to _).
• Use only speakers with the same speaker impedance as
iudicated by the speaker terminals on the rear of the unit.
