To connect an LD player via an RF demodulator.
• Connect the LD player to the RF demodulator,
then connect the RF demodulator’s optical or
coaxial digital output to the receiver’s DVD/LD
OPTICAL IN or COAXIAL jack. When making
this connection, be sure to set INPUT MODE
manually (see page 26). The receiver may not
operate correctly if INPUT MODE is set to
AUTO 2CH.
For details on DOLBY DIGITAL RF hookups,
see the operating instructions supplied with your

The FM reception is poor.
• Use a 75-ohm coaxial cable (not supplied) to
connect the receiver to an outdoor FM antenna as
shown below. 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.
Radio stations cannot be tuned in.
• Check that the antennas are connected securely.
Adjust the antennas and connect an external
antenna if necessary.
• The signal strength of the stations is too weak
(when tuning in with automatic tuning). Use
direct tuning.
• Make sure you set the tuning interval correctly
(when tuning in AM stations with direct tuning).
• No stations have been preset or the preset
stations have been cleared (when tuning by
scanning preset stations). Preset the stations (see
page 40).

not they actually provide the service in question.
If so, the service may be temporarily out of
order.
There is no picture or an unclear picture appears

remote and the receiver.
• Replace both batteries in the remote with new
ones, if they are weak.
• Make sure you select the correct function on the
