reception in most locations. Connect
this antenna to the screw terminals
marked “AM ANTENNA” as shown on
the rear Panel Connections diagram.
For best reception, place the antenna
away from the unit as well as from
sources of RF emissions such as a
television or computer. It should also
be placed away from contact with
any metal object.
In areas where MW/LW signals are
weak, an outdoor antenna may
improve sound and reception quality.

input on your preamplifier or
integrated amplifier (#6). Be certain to
observe proper channel connections
using the color coded cables and
connectors so that red connects right
channels and white connects left

intermittent sound and possible
damage to your speakers, be certain
to push the plug all the way into the

continue the remote control
connection by running a wire from the
TU950 REMOTE OUT jack to the
