center, and at least 2 feet (60 cm) from the Acoustimass® module. Experiment with the

Connecting to a cable radio provider
Some cable TV providers make FM radio signals available through the cable service
to
your
home. This connection is made
to
the external FM
jack
on the
back
panel
of
the media center.
To
connect
to
this service,
contact
your
cable TV provider
for
assistance.
) 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.
