FM Antennas AM Antenna
The T-shaped antenna Is included in the installation tn-
structions bag. Use the T-shaped antenna If you live tn
an area where signal strength of FM broadcasts is high.
Connect the antenna to the FM 300 ohm terminals and
place the antenna on a wall or other surface in the position
in which reception ts best. If signal strength ts low in your
area, use a Multl-element FM outdoor antenna and connect
to this unit using 75 ohm coaxial cable because this type
of cable is more resistant to interference than 300 ohm
cable. If the coaxial cable has an F type plug, insert It in
the 75 ohm coaxial jack. Consult your Onkyo dealer about
the right type of antenna for your area.
NOTE:
Do not use the same antenna for both FM and TV (or
VCR) reception since the FM and TV (or VCR) signals
can interfere with each other. !f you must use a common
FM/TV (or VCR) antenna, use a directional linkage type
splitter.

To receiver To TV (or VCR)
An AM loop antenna is included in the installation in-
structions bag. Insert it into the holder on the rear panel.
Swing one end of the antenna away from the rear panel
to the position that gives the best reception. If reception
is still unsatisfactory, completely remove the loop antenna
from the rear panel and hang it on a wall or other surface
in the position that gives the best reception. Be sure the
antenna is not near speakers, power cords, television sets,
VCR’‘s, and motorized appliances. When using an outdoor
AM antenna, do not remove the loop antenna. Connect
both antennas to the AM antenna terminals.
AM reception is easily affected by television sets and
VCRs. Therefore, AM reception may be poor if this unit
is placed too closed to a TV or VCR.
Speaker Connections
When connecting speakers, proper polarity is important.
Always connect the (+) terminal (red) on the amplifier to
the (+) terminal on the speaker and the (—) terminal (biack)
on the amplifier to the (~) terminal on the speaker.
@ Speaker load impedance ts very important. Only speaker
systems rated at 8 ohms or more should be used with
this unit. If only one pair of speakers is used, the load
impedance must be at least 4 ohms.
