Assemble the supplied aerial as shown
below.
3
Connect the AM loop aerial to the AM
terminals on the back of this unit.
4
Adjust 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.
Tip
If you are having difficulty receiving stations, try
repositioning the loop aerial while tuning. Placing the
supplied AM loop aerial near a window will help
improve reception quality.
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.
