Connect the loop antenna’s wires to
AM
and
GND
. Place the
antenna in a location (for example, on a shelf or window
frame) that gives the best reception.
Keep the antenna as far away as possible from the entire
system, speaker cords and the power cord to prevent
unwanted noise.
AM Outdoor Antenna
If the supplied AM loop antenna does not deliver sufficient
reception, use an outdoor AM antenna (not supplied).
Use an insulated wire more than 15 feet (5 m) long. Strip one
end, and connect that end to
AM
.
String the antenna wire outdoors or indoors near a window.
For better reception, connect the
GND
terminal to a reliable
ground.
CONNECTING THE SPEAKERS

from the TV.
2. Install the center speaker above or below the TV so the
center channel’s sound is localized at the TV screen.

Caaaauuuuttttiiiioooonnnn:::: If you choose to install the center speaker on top
of the TV, be sure to secure it to reduce the risk of damage
or injury resulting from the speaker falling from the TV in
the event of external shocks (for example, earthquakes).
