SW — Fully extend the antenna and point it straight up.
CONNECTING AN EXTERNAL ANTENNA
To improve SW reception, you can connect a portable external antenna (such as Radio Shack Cat. No. 278- 1374) directly to the telescoping an- tenna or you can make an antenna using a shortwave antenna kit (such as Radio Shack Cat. No.
Follow the antenna’s supplied instruc- tions to connect the receiver to the an- tenna.
ADJUSTING SPECIAL TUNING CONTROLS
Several controls affect the receiver’s sound. This section explains how to adjust these controls.
FM Mono/FM Stereo
To improve reception for weak FM ste- reo stations, set FM MONO/FM STEREO to FM MONO. The signal becomes monaural, but the sound might im- prove. To return to a stereo signal, set FM MONO/FM STEREO to FM STEREO.
AM Narrow/AM Wide
To reduce interference from adjacent stations in the SW, MW, or LW bands, set AM NARROW/AM WIDE to AM NAR-
ROW.
