providers make
FM
radio signals available through the cable service
to
your
home. This connection
is

on
the back panel
of
the media cen-
ter.
To
connect to this service, contact your cable
TV
provider for assistance.
J
Note:
Make sure that the cable radio installation includes a signal splitter so that only the FM
radio band, not the cable TV band,
is
received
by
the media center.
If
necessary, contact a
qualified installer.
