1

Attach the FM antenna, as shown.

 

■North American Model

FM 75

Insert the plug fully into the socket.

■Other Models

FM 75

Insert the plug fully into the socket.

Once your TX-SR501/TX-SR501E 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.

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

If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied indoor FM antenna, try a commercially available outdoor FM antenna instead (see page 23).

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.

Once your TX-SR501/TX-SR501E 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 your TX-SR501/TX-SR501E, TV, speaker cables, and power cords.

If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied indoor AM loop antenna, try using it with a commercially available outdoor AM antenna (see page 23).
