STEP 7:
Connect AM and FM Antennas (supplied)
The back of your Klipsch System has jacks for the AM and FM antennas that
were packed with your system. Unwind the wires for each antenna to provide
the best reception. An outdoor antenna may be used in place of the supplied
indoor antennas. To add an outdoor antenna, consult a qualified installer.
Follow all safety instructions supplied with the antenna.
FM Antenna
Plug the FM antenna into the Klipsch system’s FM (75W) jack in the section
labeled
ANT.
On the back of your Klipsch system, spread out the antenna
arms and move them around to establish optimum FM reception. Extend the
antenna as much as possible.
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 of the Klipsch system. To connect to this service, contact your
cable TV provider for assistance.
Make sure that the cable radio installation includes a TV/FM splitter so that
only the FM radio band, not the cable TV band, is received by the Klipsch
system. If necessary, contact your cable company.
AM Antenna
Plug the AM loop antenna into the
AM GND
jack in the section labeled
ANT
on the back of your Klipsch system. Place the antenna loop at least 20 inches
(50 centimeters) away from your Klipsch system. To get optimum reception,
you may need to experiment with the positioning of the loop antenna.
AM GND
- OR -
75Ω
Plug in the Klipsch system’s power cord to an AC power outlet.
Turn on the Klipsch system (press the
ON/OFF
button on the front
panel or on the remote control). You can also press
DISC
on the
remote.
Turn on the TV and tune to the correct video input channel. This
is the channel that corresponds to the input jack you used on
the back of the TV to connect the Klipsch system. The name and
how you access this video input channel varies for different TVs.
Generally, you will press a button on the TV’s remote control, such
as SOURCE or INPUT or VID. See below if you can’t find the
correct input channel on your TV.

If you do not see a picture on your TV, check your TV's owner manual to see
how you tune the TV to the correct channel. It won't be "Channel 3" but it's
the same idea. You'll need to tune the TV to the "channel" that matches the
input jacks on the TV you used to connect to the Klipsch system's output jacks
(either COMPONENT, S-VIDEO, or COMPOSITE—which is regular VIDEO and
color-coded yellow). Below are some ideas to try if you can't find the answer in
the TV manual.
