Getting Started

AM aerial hookups

What will I need?

AM loop aerial (supplied) (1)

For stations that are difficult to receive

Try repositioning the loop aerial while tuning. Placing the supplied AM loop aerial near a window will help improve reception quality.

1Set up the supplied aerial.

You can use the aerial by standing it (Example 1) or fixing it to a wall (Example 2).

2Connect the AM loop aerial to the AM ANTENNA terminals on the back of the CD Receiver.

3Adjust the aerial direction for the best reception. The AM loop aerial has a directivity which detects the signal from some angles more strongly than others. Set the aerial to the orientation which provides the best receiving condition.

If a high pitched noise (beat noise) occurs when recording AM broadcasts, adjust the position of the AM loop aerial so that the noise disappears.

If you live in a building constructed of reinforced concrete, or with a steel frame, you may not be able to achieve good reception since the radio waves become weaker indoors.
