Installing the AM loop antenna
Tune in an AM station and set the antenna in a position as far
from the system as possible in which distortion and noise is
minimum. In some cases it is best to invert the polarities.
AM broadcasts cannot be received well if the loop antenna is not
connected or if it is set close to metal objects.
Assembling the AM loop antenna
Assemble the included AM loop antenna as shown in the
diagram.
q
Remove the clamp.
w
Insert the AM loop antenna into the antenna stand.
Connecting the AM loop antenna
Connect the included AM loop antenna to the antenna terminals
as shown in the diagram.
Installing an AM outdoor antenna
Connect the signal wire from the AM outdoor antenna to the
antenna terminal. Be sure to ground the antenna and connect
the ground wire to the GND terminal. Also be sure to connect
the included AM loop antenna.
Connecting an FM outdoor antenna
If good reception cannot be achieved with the included FM
antenna, use an FM outdoor antenna. Connect an F-shaped
connector to the coaxial cable and connect the antenna to the
FM COAX (75
Ω
/ohms) terminal.
Selecting a place for the FM outdoor antenna
• Set the antenna so that it is pointing towards the broadcast
station’s transmitting antenna. Behind buildings or mountains,
set the antenna in the position at which reception is best, and
also try changing the direction of the antenna.
• Do not install the antenna under power lines.
Doing so is extremely dangerous, as the power line could
touch the antenna.
• Install the antenna away from roads or train tracks to avoid
noise from cars or trains.
• Do not install the antenna too high, as it may be hit by
lightning.

Note to CATV system installer:
This reminder is provided to call the CATV system
installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC, which
provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular,
specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the
grounding system of the building, as close to the point of
cable entry as practical.
CONNECTIONS
* Place the antenna 10 cm away from the set.
