Connecting Antennas—Continued

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 terminal)

Make sure that the wires are attached securely and that the push terminals are gripping the bare wires, not the insulation.

Once your RDC-7.1 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 RDC-7.1, 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.

Connecting an Outdoor FM Antenna

If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied indoor FM antenna, try using a commercially available outdoor FM antenna instead.

FM 75

Notes:

•Outdoor FM antennas work best outside, but acceptable results can sometimes be obtained when installed in an attic or loft.

•For best results, install the outdoor FM antenna well away from tall buildings, preferably with a clear line of sight to your local FM transmitter.

•Outdoor antennas should be located away from possible noise sources, such as neon signs, busy roads, etc.

•For safety reasons, outdoor antennas should be situated well away from power lines and other high voltage equipment.

•Outdoor antennas must be grounded in accordance with local regulations to prevent electric shock hazards.

Using a TV/FM Antenna Splitter

It’s best not to use the same antenna for both FM and TV reception, as this can cause interference problems. If circumstances demand it, use a TV/FM antenna splitter, as shown.

Connecting an Outdoor AM Antenna

If good reception cannot be achieved using the supplied AM loop antenna, an outdoor AM antenna can be used in addition to the loop antenna, as shown.

Installation and Connections

AM

Outdoor AM antennas work best when installed outside horizontally, but good results can sometimes be obtained indoors by mounting it horizontally above a window.

Note that the AM loop antenna should be left connected. Outdoor antennas must be grounded in accordance with local regulations to prevent electric shock hazards.
