To connect an LD player via an RF demodulator.

Connect the LD player to the RF demodulator,
then connect the RF demodulator’s optical or
coaxial digital output to the receiver’s jack. When
making this connection, be sure to set INPUT
MODE manually (page 26). The receiver may not
operate correctly if INPUT MODE is set to
“AUTO 2CH”. For details on DOLBY DIGITAL
RF hookups, see the operating instructions
supplied with your RF demodulator.

The FM reception is poor.

Use a 75-ohm coaxial cable (not supplied) to
connect the receiver to an outdoor FM antenna as
shown below. If you connect the receiver to an
outdoor antenna, ground it against lightning. To
prevent a gas explosion, do not connect the ground
wire to a gas pipe.

Radio stations cannot be tuned in.

• Check that the antennas are connected securely.

Adjust the antennas and connect an external
antenna if necessary.

• The signal strength of the stations is too weak

(when tuning in with automatic tuning). Use
direct tuning.

• Make sure you set the tuning interval correctly

(when tuning in AM stations with direct tuning).

• No stations have been preset or the preset

stations have been cleared (when tuning by
scanning preset stations). Preset the stations
(page 41).

• Press DISPLAY so that the frequency appears in

the display.
