Connecting up

En

4

Place the AM antenna on a flat surface

and in a direction giving the best reception.

5

Connect the FM wire antenna in the same

way as the AM loop antenna.
For best results, extend the FM antenna fully
and fix to a wall or door frame. Don’t drape
loosely or leave coiled up.

Using external antennas

To improve FM reception

Use a 75

Ω coaxial cable to connect an external

FM antenna.

To improve AM reception

Connect a 5 m to 6 m (15 ft. to 18 ft.) length of
vinyl-coated wire to the AM antenna terminal
without disconnecting the supplied AM loop
antenna.

For the best possible reception, suspend
horizontally outdoors.

Connecting the speakers

Make sure you connect the speaker on the
right to the right terminal and the speaker on
the left to the left terminal. Also make sure the
positive and negative (

+/) terminals on the

receiver match those on the speakers. You can
use speakers with a nominal impedance
between 4

Ω–16 Ω.

Be sure to complete all connections before
connecting this unit to the AC power source.

Connect the speakers to the speaker

terminals as shown above.
Connections for the left speaker are shown.
Connect the right speaker in the same way. You
can use either bare wire connections or
banana plugs to do this (see below).

Bare wire connections

Make sure that the speaker cable you’re going
to use is properly prepared with about 3/8 inch
of insulator stripped from each wire, and the
exposed wire strands twisted together (fig. A).
