1Before assembling the supplied aerial, pull the lead wire out from the slot in the aerial frame.
2Unwrap 3 lengths of the braided lead wire from around the frame of the aerial. Be careful to unwrap only the braided section of the lead wire. Do not unwrap more than 3 lengths of the lead wire. Also, be careful not to unbraid the lead wire.

5Adjust 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. In this case, we recommend connecting an optional aerial such as the Sony
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.
