CONNECTIONS
Antenna Connections
Radio reception is not possible unless the antenna
is properly connected.
The strength of broadcast signals varies from one area to another.
Signal propagation is especially poor in metropolitan areas, where
there are many tall buildings, and also in mountainous areas. Proper
antenna installation is vital to good reception.
AM ANTENNA
The AM loop antenna supplied with the tuner should be connected
to the AM antenna terminals. The antenna should be placed at a
distance from the tuner, and should not be allowed to touch metallic
objects. Avoid placing it near CD players, personal computers,
television sets, and other devices generating radio frequencies.
Connecting the external AM antenna
NOTE:
Do not detach the AM loop antenna when using an external AM
antenna.
Setting up the AM loop antenna
• Insert the clip on the bottom of the antenna into the groove on
the leg.
• Place the antenna on a level surface and rotate it to locate the
orientation that yields the best reception.
• To permanently affix the antenna,screw the leg to a wall or post
before assembling (affixing the antenna in the direction that gives
the best reception).
m
AM loop antenna connection
The accessory AM loop antenna must be connected to ensure
proper reception.
External AM antenna
Indoor AM antenna
Provide a vinyl-coated wire (5 to 6 meters long). Secure one end to
the AM terminal marked “AM LOOP ANTENNA" and the other
end to a wall or other high location.
Outdoor AM antenna
If reception is still poor even when a lead antenna has been stretched
out indoors, stretch out a vinyl-coated wire and secure it outdoors.
FM ANTENNA
FM T-type antenna attachment
Connect the accessory FM T-type antenna to the FM terminals.
Stretch the antenna out to its full length, and affix it to a wall, etc.
The accessory FM T-type antenna must be connected to ensure
proper reception.
Stretch out
both ends
Correct Wrong Wrong
Outdoor external FM antenna installation
Use an external antenna when the signals from the station are weak
and cannot be picked up by the accessory T-type FM antenna, or
when the sound heard is accompanied by too much noise.
