Outdoor FM antenna
Installation of an outdoor FM antenna is recommended for a very high quality FM reception.

•The cable should be straight and as far away from power lines as possible. Cut off any extra length.
AM Loop antenna connection
Connect the cord of the accessory AM loop antenna to the AM LOOP 300 W terminals. When tuning in AM stations, move the antenna to the left or right and set in the direction which yields the optimum reception.

CONNECTION CONT.
•AM reception may not be possible without the loop antenna attached. Even if an outdoor antenna is connected, keep this loop antenna in place.
•Do not bring the power cord or speaker cords near the loop antenna. Interfer- ence or noise will be generated.
Multipath reflections
FM waves, like light waves, travel in a straight direction unless reflected off objects in their path. Because of this, two sets of waves reach your antenna from the FM station; those that have traveled directly to the antenna, and those that have been reflected off buildings or mountains. When the antenna receives both kinds of signals, the two interfere with each other and result in distorted sound and poor separation. This phenomenon is called "multipath reflection". To reduce this problem, select an antenna with good directivity and place it in the best location with strong reception.
OPERATION
SET THE FREQUENCY SELECT
AM radio stations in the United States operate on 10kHz channel centers. In other parts of the world, stations are on 9kHz centers. The RS79b provides a rear panel switch to select the frequency centers for proper reception.
If you are not sure where this switch should be set, contact your local station for their operating information.
PROGRAMMING PRESETS
Select the AM (MW) or FM band you wish to program (AM (MW)1, 2, or FM 1, 2 or 3). Using either the SCAN/UP, SEEK/UP, TUNE +, or TUNE -
buttons - select the station you wish to program. To store that station in a preset (M1 - M6), press and hold the desired preset button until the CH # appears in the display. For example, once you've selected the desired station, to store that in preset M3, press and hold M3 until a CH 3 appears in the display.
