Hints for Better Reception
FM - Make sure that the telescopic FM Rod Antenna is raised and extended to its full length. You may have
to vary the direction of the antenna to find the strongest signal for each FM station. If you are listening to a
weak or distant FM Stereo station and reception is unsatisfactory, slide the BAND Switch to the FM (Mono)
position. This will normally provide an improvement in reception, although the sound will no longer be in
stereo.
AM - The AM ferrite bar antenna is located inside the cabinet. It may be necessary to turn the unit slightly so
that the internal antenna is pointing in the direction of the AM transmitter. You may have to experiment to
find the position that provides the strongest reception for each of your favorite AM stations.
