In most cases the built-in telescopic antenna will provide good reception
for FM and TV.  However, for the very best reception and/or to tune in a
weak station, you should use an external antenna.  Connect such an antenna
to VHF or UHF antenna terminals as appropriate, and set the Antenna switch
EXT. ANT. position.  You'll find the following chart to be helpful as you
determine the best antenna to use.

    NOTES:

    1. With VHF reception, use the full length of the rod antenna for
       best reception on channels 2 to 6; shorten the antenna for
       channels 7 to 13.

    2. When connecting an outdoor VHF antenna to the VHF external
       terminals, do not connect an additional outdoor FM antenna at the
       same time (the FM antenna may interfere with TV reception).
       Usually, an outdoor FM antenna is not required.  Or, if you want
       good FM reception, obtain a TV/FM antenna and connect it.  Check
       your local Radio Shack store for antennas suitable to your needs.
       You'll also find various other useful accessories.
