ANTEN NA A ND G RO U N D CON NE C TI ON S
FM ANTENNAS
There are two methods you can use when connecting the
FM antenna to the antenna input terminals: you can use
a 300-ohm twin-lead feeder or a 75-ohm coaxial cable.
Pioneer recommends the 75-ohm coaxial cable (RG59U,
etc.) if you want your receiver to display its capabilities
to the full. The coaxial cable is more effective than the
twin-lead feeder in safeguarding against external inter-
ference noise from impairing the sound quality. In other
words, twin-lead feeders are liable to pick up external noise,
and this is why they are not recommended.
CONNECTIONS USING A 75.OHM COAXIAL
CABLE
Refer to Fig.6 and follow the procedure. Prepare the tip
of the coaxial cable and connect it to the antenna input
terminals ( 75O - U N BAL).

In cases where it is only possible to use a twin-lead feeder
with a community receiving system antenna, refer to
Fig.6 and follow the procedure. Prepare the ends of the
twin-lead feeder and attach them to the 300O-BAL antenna
input terminals. Then make the twin-lead feeder as short as
possible but do not bundle the wires or run them loose on
the floor.
ACCESSORY T.TYPE ANTENNA
This antenna is designed to allow you to receive FM
programs in areas where strong signals are beamed by
broadcasting stations until you install your FM ant€nna'
As shown in Fig.6, attach the antenna to the 300O-BAL
antenna input terminals and then tune into an FM station,
following the instructions listed under "FM RECEPTION"
on page 12. Extend both ends of the antenna horizontally,
locate the optimum receiving location by moving the
antenna to the left or right, or up or down. and then secure
i t t o the ce il i ng or w al l .
