RADIO RECEPTION TIPS

For improved reception, connect an op- tional outdoor VHF/UHF antenna to the ANT IN jack on the back of the TV/radio/ cassette using these guidelines.

Notes:

•For the best FM reception, adjust the telescoping antenna.

•To improve reception of a weak FM stereo station, set AM/FM/FM STEREO to FM. The output is mono, but the sound might improve.

3.Turn TUNING to the desired station.

•If the outdoor antenna wire is 300- ohm double lead-in wire, connect the wire to the TV/radio/cassette’s ANT IN jack using an external 300- ohm antenna adapter (not supplied).

•If the outdoor antenna wire or CATV cable is 75-ohm coaxial cable, con- nect the cable to the TV/radio/cas- sette’s ANT IN jack using an F-to-1/8- inch miniplug adapter (such as Cat. No. 278-257, not supplied).

Note: Your local RadioShack store has a wide selection of antennas and adapt- ers to choose from.

Weak AM reception might be caused by the distance from the station or by oper- ating the TV/radio/cassette in a building with steel construction. Turn the TV/ra- dio/cassette in different directions for the best reception.
