Connecting Antennas (AM/FM)

AM Indoor Loop Antenna

The high-performance AM loop antenna provided with this unit is sufficient for good reception in most areas.

To stand the loop antenna on a surface, fix the claw to the slot in the antenna base.

Connect the loop antenna’s wires to the AM antenna terminals.

Place the antenna on a shelf or hang it on a window frame, etc., in the direction which gives the best reception. Keep all other wires such as power cords, speaker wires or interconnect wires as far away as possible from the antenna.

AM Outdoor

Antenna

Make sure to connect the black wire to the GND terminal.

<If the AM loop antenna provided does not deliver sufficient reception (often due to being too far from the transmitter or in a concrete building, etc.), it may be necessary to use an outdoor AM antenna. Use either a high quality commercial AM antenna or, if not available, an insulated wire more than 5 m long, strip one end, and connect this to the terminal as shown.

The antenna wire should be strung outdoors or indoors near a window. For better reception, connect the GND terminal to a reliable ground.

Note:

Even when using an outdoor AM antenna, do not disconnect the AM loop antenna.

FM Indoor Antenna

Connect the lead-type FM antenna to the FM 75Ω socket, extend the lead and tune the tuner to your favorite station (see page 32). Adjust the antenna in a suitable location like a window frame or wall until the reception is best and then affix the antenna in that position using thumb tacks, push pins or any other suitable means.

FM Outdoor Antenna

In an area where FM signals are weak, it will be necessary to use an outdoor FM antenna. Generally, a 3-element antenna will be sufficient; if you live in an area where the FM signals are particularly weak, it may be necessary to use one with 5 or more elements.
