Connecting Antenna

This chapter explains how to connect the supplied indoor FM antenna and AM loop antenna and how to connect commercially available outdoor FM and AM antennas. The TX-SR502/TX-SR502E won’t pick up any radio signals without any antenna connected, so you must con- nect the antenna to use the tuner.

Connecting the Indoor FM Antenna

The supplied indoor FM antenna is for indoor use only.

1 Attach the FM antenna, as shown.

■American Model

FM 75

Insert the plug fully into the socket.

■Other Models

FM 75

Insert the plug fully into the socket.

Once the TX-SR502/TX-SR502E is ready for use, you’ll need to tune into an FM radio station and adjust the position of the FM antenna to achieve the best possible reception.

2 Use thumbtacks or something similar to fix the FM antenna into position.

Thumbtacks, etc.

If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied indoor FM antenna, try a commercially available out- door FM antenna instead (see page 19).

Connecting the AM Loop Antenna

The supplied indoor AM loop antenna is for indoor use only.

1 Assemble the AM loop antenna, inserting the tabs into the base, as shown.

2 Connect both wires of the AM loop antenna to the AM push terminals, as shown.

(The antenna’s wires are not polarity sensitive, so they can be connected either way around.) Make sure that the wires are attached securely and that the push terminals are gripping the bare wires, not the insulation.

		AM

Once the TX-SR502/TX-SR502E is ready for use, you’ll need to tune into an AM radio station and adjust the position of the AM antenna to achieve the best possible reception.

Keep the antenna as far away as possible from the TX-SR502/TX-SR502E, TV, speaker cables, and power cords.

If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied indoor AM loop antenna, try using it with a commer- cially available outdoor AM antenna (see page 19).

Caution: Be careful that you don’t injure yourself when using thumbtacks.
