FM antenna connections
1. Plug the antenna connector into the FM ANTENNA jack on the back of the Lifestyle
®
music
center.
2. Spread out the antenna arms. Experiment with both the placement and the angle of this
antenna to provide optimum FM reception.
AM antenna connections
Note:
To install the AM antenna on a wall, follow the instructions enclosed with the antenna.
1. Loosen the AM LOOP ANTENNA screw terminals on the back of the Lifestyle
®
music
center.
2. Slide the wire connectors around the screw terminals. Tighten the screws over the con-
nectors.
3. Stand the loop antenna on the base, following the instructions enclosed with the antenna.
4. Move the loop part of the antenna as far as possible but at least 20 inches (50 cm) from
the music center and at least 4 feet (1.2 m) from the Acoustimass
®
module. Experiment
with the orientation of the loop for optimum AM reception.
Note:
Outdoor antennas may be used with the music center antenna connections. To install
an outdoor antenna, consult a qualified installer. Follow all safety instructions.
Connecting to a cable radio signal
To connect your system to the FM signal available from some cable TV companies, contact
your cable provider for assistance. The connection is made to the FM 75Ω EXTERNAL
antenna connector on the back of the system.
CAUTION:
Be certain that the installation includes a signal splitter so that only the FM band,
not the cable TV band, is transmitted to the system. It is necessary to use a splitter that filters
the signal to prevent any re-emissions of the TV spectrum through the system.
Attaching the wire cover
After all the connections are completed, attach the wire cover to the music center to hide the
wires and jacks from view. The five tabs on the wire cover snap into matching slots on the
music center back panel.
