LISTENING TO AM/FM RADIOThe VISO FIVE’s internal AM/FM tuner offers very high quality soundfrom radio broadcasts. The reception and sound quality will always bedependent to a degree however on the type of antenna(s) used as well asproximity to the broadcast origin, geography and weather conditions.ABOUT ANTENNASThe supplied ribbon-wire FM antenna can be connected to the rear-panelFM-antenna input using the included ‘balun’ adapter and should be fullyextended to form a “T”. This folded-dipole antenna will usually work bestwhen oriented vertically, with the arms of its “T” fully outstretched andarranged perpendicular to the origin of the desired broadcast. There areno ‘rules,’ however, and experimenting freely with antenna placement andorientation may yield the clearest sound and lowest background noise.In areas of poor FM reception, an exterior FM antenna can improveperformance dramatically. If radio listening is important to you, considerconsulting an antenna installation professional to optimize your system.The supplied AM ‘loop’ antenna will usually provide adequate reception.However, an exterior AM antenna can be used to improve reception.Consult an antenna professional for more information.ASSEMBLING THE LOOP ANTENNA1 Rotate the outer frame of the antenna.2 Insert the bottom edge of the outer frame into the groove on the stand.3 Extend the antenna cord.SELECTING THE RADIOTo select the VISO FIVE’s tuner mode, rotate “INPUT SELECTOR” knob on thefront panel repeatedly until AM/FM mode or the HTR 7’s numeric ‘5’ while atAMP device selector page.Press [TUNE / ] on the front panel momentarily to step up or downAM or FM frequencies.Press and hold [TUNE / ] for more than 2 seconds to search up ordown AM or FM frequencies - the VISO FIVE’s tuner will stop at the nextsufficiently strong signal it encounters.
