6.AUX IN: To hear audio from another device, such as a CD player, MP3 player, or computer, connect said device’s audio output to this stereo input and switch the front source knob to Aux. Switching to the Aux position does not turn on the connected device. This stereo input accepts a 1/8" stereo male mini connector. The left and right stereo signal is summed to mono. Note you may need to adjust the volume level differently for an auxiliary device than the level used for radio listening.
7.REC OUT: You can record from the Model One radio by connecting a cassette deck’s audio input (or other recording device) to this fixed level stereo output. You can also use the Model One radio as a high performance analog tuner by connecting it to the audio input of a preamplifier or integrated amplifier. The primary speaker will not be muted when using this output. This jack accepts a 1/8" stereo male mini connector.
8.117V: Connect the included power cord to this input. When unplugging the power cord from the wall outlet, always grab it by the plug. We recommend using a powerstrip with surge protection. When disconnecting the power cord, always grasp it firmly at the connector. Never pull on the cord itself. Do not bundle the power cord together with the external FM antenna or any audio cables, as this can inject noise in the audio path.
RECEPTION
The internal FM and AM antennas will provide good reception. An optional outdoor antenna will provide the best possible reception. Another alternative is to use the supplied indoor external FM antenna or an optional FM dipole antenna with adapter. Locating the indoor antenna near a window or outside wall will provide better reception than more interior locations. Connecting your cable television 75ohm coaxial cable to the external FM connection may also provide clear local reception, although you must usually request activation of this service through your cable company.
For AM, rotate the radio for best reception. An optional external AM wireless or wired antenna may provide improved AM reception.
Buildings made with concrete, steel, or aluminum siding will hinder reception. Household appliances, electric blankets, computers, CD players, and other electronic devices can also adversely affect reception or inject noise. If you experience this, move the Model One radio further from the offending device or plug it into an electrical outlet not shared by another device. Metal surfaces may also hinder AM reception.
PLACEMENT
Place the unit on a flat, stable surface. Do not block the bottom bass port. The Model One radio is not video shielded and should be kept at least 5" away from a computer monitor or television. The Model One radio can be positioned vertically as well as horizontally. Placement in a bookcase, cabinet, or close to walls or corners may inflate the bass.
