Analog audio connections

Note: Do not plug in the mains power lead or turn the unit on until all connections have been made.

Connect to source equipment using stereo phono cables (stereo 2RCA- 2RCA). Tape/MD/CDR recorder/players require two sets of stereo phono/RCA cables, one for recording, one for listening.

Aerial connections

FM aerial

Connect an aerial to the FM 75 ohm socket (a simple wire aerial is supplied only for temporary use). Extend the lead and move the aerial around until you get the best reception. For continued use, we strongly recommended using a 75ohm outdoor FM aerial.

Connect each end of the single length antenna to the antenna terminals. Place the antenna as far from the main system as possible to prevent unwanted noise and to obtain optimum reception. If the AM loop aerial provided does not receive sufficient reception, it may be necessary to use an outdoor AM aerial.
