  If radio stations cannot be tuned in on your Sony Home Theater System, check that the antennas are connected securely and adjust them. Connect an external antenna if necessary. If tuning with automatic tuning, the signal strength of the stations may be too weak, so use direct tuning. When tuning in AM stations with direct tuning, make sure you set the tuning interval correctly. If tuning by scanning preset stations, preset the stations.

  To improve poor FM reception on your Sony Home Theater System, use a 75-ohm coaxial cable (not supplied) to connect the receiver to an outdoor FM antenna. If you connect the receiver to an outdoor antenna, ground it against lightning. To prevent a gas explosion, do not connect the ground wire to a gas pipe.
