Antenna Connections
FM Indoor Antenna
In an area with strong FM signals, the “T“-type FM antenna
provided is sufficient. Extend this into a “T“ shape and con-
nect the two wires at the base of the T to the antenna termi-
nals , as shown. For details of how to connect the antenna
wires to the terminals, see the illustration.
Extend the top of the T and fix with thumb tacks, or the like,
to a wall or window frame for the best possible reception.
AM (MW) Antenna
AM Indoor Loop Antenna
A high-performance AM loop antenna provided with the
receiver is sufficient for good reception in most areas.
Connect the loop antenna’s wires to the AM antenna ter-
minals as shown. Place the antenna on a shelf, for
example, or hang it on a window frame, etc., in the direc-
tion which gives the best reception, as far away as pos-
sible from the entire system, speaker cords and the
power cord, to prevent unwanted noise.
AM Outdoor Antenna
If the AM loop antenna provided does not deliver suffi-
cient reception (because you are too far from the trans-
mitter or in a concrete building, etc.), it may be neces-
sary to use an outdoor AM antenna. Use an insulated
wire more than 15 ft (5 m) long, strip one end, and con-
nect this to the terminal as shown. The antenna wire
should be strung outdoors or indoors near a window.
For better reception, connect the GND terminal to a reli-
able ground.
Note : Even when using an outdoor AM antenna, do not dis-
connect the AM loop antenna.
FM Outdoor Antenna
In an area where FM signals are weak, it will be necessary
to use a 75-ohm unbalanced-type outdoor FM antenna.
Generally, a 3-element antenna will be sufficient; if you live
in an area where the FM signals are particularly weak, it
may be necessary to use one with 5 or more elements.
A 75-ohm antenna uses a coaxial cable and should be con-
nected as follows: first strip the covering of the cable, then
twist the wire shielding so the inner core and shielding can
be connected as shown.
How to connect antenna
Press the lever, insert the
stripped and twisted end of the
wire, then release the lever so
that the wire is held securely.
