CONNECTIONS
REAR PANEL CONNECTIONS
Antenna Connections
Connect the AM and FM Antennas to the AM and FM
Antenna Terminals on the Vital 710 Rear Panel as shown
in
Figure 9
.
Am Antenna
1.
Connect the included AM Loop Antenna to the
Antenna AM & GND Terminals. The spring clips
are color coded, black and white. Connect
the black wire from the antenna to the black
terminal (GND) and the white wire to the white
terminal (AM).
2.
Position the AM Antenna for optimum recep-
tion. Experiment by moving the antenna high
and low and turning it side to side until the best
position is found. The antenna can be formed
into a shelf top stand. With the antenna wire
at the bottom and positioned AWAY from you,
carefully pull the molded plastic piece in the
middle away from you then down under the
bottom of the loop. Pull toward the front until
the tabs in the bottom of the loop snap into
the slots in the molded piece. Be careful not to
pinch the antenna wire. Position the antenna
for best reception.
Fm Antenna
1.
Attach the FM Antenna ‘F’ connector to the
FM(75Ω) Terminal. Extend the antenna to find
the optimal position. Stretch the antenna com-
pletely vertical (up and down) and then try dif-
ferent side to side positions until optimum recep-
tion is attained. Use a small wire brad or thumb
tack to secure the antenna to a wall or cabinet
through the hole in the plastic end piece.
Phono Connections
Connect a Turntable to Phono IN and GND as shown in
Figure 10
.
1.
Connect the left and right RCA plugs from the Turn-
table to the L & R Phono INPUTS.
Note:
Phono IN is a phono pre-amp input with a
2mV sensitivity for magnetic phono cartridges. If
using a turntable with built-in phono pre-amp, use
one of the other source, (line level) inputs.
2.
Connect the ground wire from the turntable to the
GND thumbscrew to reduce audio hum.
CD Connections
Connect a CD Player to CD IN as shown in
Figure 11
.
1.
Using a stereo RCA-RCA patch cable with gold
ends, connect the L & R line level audio outputs of
a CD Player to
L & R CD IN on the Vital 710 Rear Panel.
