Parts Identification/Getting Started
Unpacking
Check that you received the following items
with the tuner:
• Audio cord (1)
• AM loop antenna (1)
• FM wire antenna (1)
• EON connecting cord (ST-SE570 only, 1)
Hooking up the system
Before you get started
• Turn off the power to all components before
making any connections.
• Do not connect the mains lead until all of the
connections are completed.
• Be sure to make connections firmly to avoid
hum and noise.
• When connecting an audio cord, be sure to
match the colour-coded pins to the appropriate
jacks: White (left) to White; and Red (right) to
Red.
AM antenna hookups
This section describes how to connect the
supplied AM loop antenna. For the specific
location of the AM ANTENNA terminals, see
the illustration below.
What will I need?
• AM loop antenna (supplied) (1)
Getting Started
1
Before assembling the supplied
antenna, pull the lead wire out from the
slot in the antenna frame.
2
Unwrap 3 lengths of the braided lead
wire from around the frame of the
antenna.
Be careful to unwrap only the braided
section of the lead wire. Do not unwrap
more than 3 lengths of the lead wire. Also,
be careful not to unbraid the lead wire.
3
Assemble the supplied antenna as
shown below.
4
Connect the AM loop antenna to the AM
terminals on the back of this unit.
5
Adjust the antenna direction for the
best reception.
The AM loop antenna has a directivity
which detects the signal from some angles
more strongly than others. Set the antenna
to the orientation which provides the best
receiving condition.
If a high pitched noise (beat noise) occurs
when recording AM broadcasts, adjust the
position of the AM loop antenna so that the
noise disappears.
If you live in a building constructed of
reinforced concrete, or with a steel frame,
you may not be able to achieve good
reception since the radio waves become
weaker indoors. In this case, we recommend
connecting an optional antenna.
