Antenna and Reception
The TV audio band (US version)
requires a strong broadcast signal
and will not operate properly in
areas located away from a broadcast
or relay station.
FM radio reception can be optimized
by adjusting the length and position
of the built-it external FM antenna.
Many stations will come in clearer
with the antenna less than fully
extended.
Because of an internal antenna,
AM/MW radio reception can be
improved by adjusting the position
or location of the product itself.
NOTE: TV Audio is featured only in
the US version of this product.
