Connecting an Antenna
This chapter explains how to connect the supplied indoor FM antenna, AM loop antenna, and DAB antenna and how to connect commercially available outdoor FM and AM antennas.
The CD Receiver won’t pick up any radio signals without any antenna connected, so you must connect an 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.
FM75
ANTENNA
Once the CD Receiver 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.
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 using a commercially available out- door FM antenna instead (see page 13).
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 in either push terminal.)
Make sure that the wires are attached securely and that the push terminals are gripping the bare wires, not the insulation.

Once the CD Receiver 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 CD Receiver, TV, speaker cables, and power cords.
If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied indoor AM loop antenna, try using a commercially available outdoor AM antenna (see page 13).
