Connecting an AM outdoor antenna

The outdoor antenna will be more effective if it is stretched horizon-
tally above a window or outside.

• Do not remove the AM loop antenna.

• To avoid the risk of lightning and electrical shock, grounding is

necessary. Follow item 14 of the “Important Safeguards” on page
2 when you install the outdoor antenna.

Do not use the same antenna for both FM and TV (or VCR) recep-
tion since the FM and TV (or VCR) signals can interfere with each
other. If you must use a common FM/TV (or VCR) antenna, use a
