■Notes on the 75-ohm coaxial and

the 300-ohm feeder cables

Consult with your dealer or authorized service center about the best method of selecting and erecting an outdoor FM antenna. The choice of the feeder cable is also important. Flat ribbon-shaped twin-lead cable performs well electrically, and is cheaper and somewhat easier to handle when routing it through windows and around rooms. Coaxial cable is more expensive, does a much better job of minimizing interference, is less prone to the effects of weather and close-by metal objects, and is nearly as good a signal conductor as feeder cable, particularly for foam-type coaxial cables. Coaxial cable is somewhat more difficult to install at the point where the cable enters the building. If coaxial cable is selected, make sure the antenna is designed to be used with that type of cable.

Notes

•To minimize interference from automobile ignition, locate the antenna as far from heavy traffic as possible.

•Keep the feeder cable or coaxial cable as short as possible. Do not bundle or roll up excess cable.

•The antenna should be placed at least 2 meters (6.6 ft) from reinforced concrete walls or metal structures.

■FREQUENCY STEP switch

(Asia and General models only)

Because the interstation frequency spacing differs in different areas, set the FREQUENCY STEP switch on the rear panel of this unit according to the frequency spacing in your area.

•North, Central and South America: 100 kHz/10 kHz

•Other areas: 50 kHz/9 kHz

Before setting this switch, disconnect this unit’s AC power plug from the AC wall outlet.
