Getting Started

FM aerial hookups

With an FM outdoor aerial, you can obtain a higher FM broadcast sound quality. We recommend that you use the supplied FM wire aerial only temporarily until you install an FM outdoor aerial. For the specific location of the FM ANTENNA terminal, see the illustration below.

zYou can use two FM aerials (ST-SB920 only)

This tuner has two FM ANTENNA terminals, A and B, for use with different types of FM aerials. For example, you can connect an outdoor aerial to the A jack and connect a cable aerial to the B jack. You can also switch the aerial while using the signal meter to determine which aerial gives the best reception for a particular station.

Connecting a ground wire

If you connect an outdoor aerial, be sure to connect a earth lead (not supplied) to the AM ANTENNA y terminal (in addition to the AM loop aerial) for lightning protection.

Amplifier hookups

Connect the tuner to an amplifier. Be sure to turn off both components before connection. For the specific location of the terminals, see the illustration below.
