CONNECTION

FM INDOOR ANTENNA

If you live reasonably close to a transmitter and want to use the provided lead-type FM antenna, you will have to connect it direct to the “FM 75Ω” socket.

Fit the metal sleeve of the lead-type antenna over the core (center) pin of the (FM 75Ω) socket, extend the lead and attach it to a window frame or wall with thumbtacks, or move around the room, where reception is best.

FM OUTDOOR ANTENNA (75Ω)

FM OUTDOOR ANTENNA

In an area where FM signals are weak, it will be necessary to use a 75Ω unbalanced-type outdoor FM antenna using the optional matching transformer, as shown. 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. Connect the coaxial cable of the antenna to the matching transformer as shown. After completing connection, plug the transformer into the “FM 75Ω” socket.

How to connect a coaxial cable to the matching transformer

Strip the cable and dress it as shown.

High performance AM loop antenna provided with the receiver is sufficient for good reception in most areas.

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

Place the antenna on a shelf, for example, and move around to obtain the best reception, place as far away as possible from the entire system, speaker leads and the power cords, to prevent unwanted noise.

AM Loop Antenna (provided)

AM Outdoor Antenna

If the AM loop antenna provided does not receive sufficient reception, it may be necessary to use an outdoor AM antenna.

Use an insulated cable of a length of 15 ft (5m) 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: When connecting an outdoor AM antenna, do not disconnect the AM loop antenna.
