N Directional Iinkage Do not use the same antenna for both FM and TV (or VCR) reception since these signals may interfere with each other. If you must use a common FM/TV (or VCR) antenna, use a directional linkage type splitter.

Directional Iinkage type splitter To FR-N3X To TV (or VCR) Insert into the hole. Connecting the AM antenna cable 1. Press down the lever. 2. Insert the wire into the hole. 3. Release the lever to lock the wire in place. Connecting the AM loop antenna The AM loop antenna is for indoor use only. Set it in the direction and position in which you receive the clearest sound. Locate it as far as possible away from this unit, televisions, speaker cables, and power cords. Connecting an AM outdoor antenna When reception is not satisfactory with the supplied AM loop antenna alone, an outdoor antenna is recommended. The outdoor antenna will be more effective if it is stretched horizontally above or outside a window. • 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 3 when you install the outdoor antenna. outdoor antenna (Continued on the next page) 7
