USING THE T 775 – AM/FM/DB/iPod

Listening to Radio

The T 775’s internal AM/FM tuner offers very high quality sound from radio broadcasts. The reception and sound quality will always be dependent to a degree however on the type of antenna(s) used as well as proximity to the broadcast origin, geography and weather conditions.

About Antennas

The supplied ribbon-wire FM antenna can be connected to the rear-panel FM-antenna input using the included ‘balun’ adapter and should be fully extended to form a “T”. This folded-dipole antenna will usually work best when oriented vertically, with the arms of its “T” fully outstretched and arranged perpendicular to the origin of the desired broadcast. There are no ‘rules’ however, and experimenting freely with antenna placement and orientation may yield the clearest sound and lowest background noise.

In areas of poor FM reception, an exterior FM antenna can improve performance dramatically. If radio listening is important to you, consider consulting an antenna installation professional to optimize your system.

The supplied AM ‘loop’ antenna will usually provide adequate reception. However, an exterior AM antenna can be used to improve reception. Consult an antenna professional for more information.

Assembling the Loop Antenna

1Rotate the outer frame of the antenna.

2Insert the bottom edge of the outer frame into the groove on the stand.

3Extend the antenna cord.
