The ATS-909X comes equipped with a integrated ferrite
antenna built into the radio that should provide more than
adequate reception for the MW and LW bands. For FM
E reception, it is advised that the telescopic antenna be
extended and adjusted in length and direction for maximum
results. Included with the ATS-909X is the Sangean ANT-
60 Portable SW Antenna. The antenna is plugged into jack
NL
labeled AM EXT ANT. When fully extended this antenna
should improve SW reception. For maximum performance
this antenna should be placed as high as possible above
the ground and in an unobstructed area if possible.

Aux-in
A 3.5mm stereo Auxiliary Input socket is provided on the
left hand side of your radio to permit an audio signal to
be fed into the unit from an external audio device such as
iPod, MP3 or CD player. Just connect the external audio
and turn on the radio. Press the Aux in switch then you can
play the external audio device with your ATS-909X now.

10kHz position.
REC STANDBY / LINE-OUT
The jacks on the left side of the radio are for audio output
(Line-out) and a timer activation (Standby out) to control
external recorder.
The ATS-909X has 3 timers which can be set for radio
alarm and can also trigger recording standby out to control
external recorder as Sangean's DAR-101. You can connect
an external audio device to record or play the programs
received by the ATS-909X. You can also set up a recording
preset using the alarm function of the radio at the same

09
To record or play the programs received by the ATS-909X,
connect between the Line-out jack of the ATS-909X and
the Line-in (or Aux-in) jack of the external recorder via a
stereo 3.5Φmm wire. Also to trigger standby out to control
external recorder, connect between the Standby out jack of
the ATS-909X and the remote jack of the external recorder
as Sangean's DAR-101 via a 3.5Φmm plug into the audio
input jack of the recording device.
LINE-OUT JACK
The Line-out jack, is used to output the audio from the
ATS-909X to another device such as a recorder, your
home stereo, or some other units. To do this, you will need
a 1 / 8" stereo patch cord.
NOTE
The Line-out jack differs from a headphone jack because
the volume level of a headphone jack varies depending
on the volume of the radio. The Line-out jack has a set
line level so the volume is consistent no matter what the
position of the volume knob.
1.
Plug your patch cord into the Line-out jack on the
ATS-909X.
2.
Plug the other end of the patch cord into the Line-in or
Audio in of the device you want to send the audio to and
you will hear the radio through the other source. You can
still listen to the ATS-909X while using the Line-out jack.
WARNING
If a "Line-out" is not available on your external audio
source, you can use the headphone jack. However, the
volume must be kept low or damage to the ATS-909X
may result.
TIMER ACTIVATION (STANDBY OUT)
The jack is for use with a recorder that has a timer
activated switch. You would use this switch if you wanted
to do a timed recording. It is used in conjunction with the
Line-out jack. See your recorder's instructions to determine
if this function will work with your recorder.
NOTE
The ATS-909X radio can trigger the above function for an
hour.
NOTE
If you don't connect the standby out jack to your recorder
for a timed recording, you may turn on your recorder to
record manually.
HEADPHONE SOCKET
A 3.5mm stereo Headphone Socket is provided on the left
hand side of your radio for use with headphones. Inserting
a plug automatically mutes the internal loudspeaker.
AM RF GAIN
The distortion while listening to AM band can be reduced
by adjusting level of the incoming signal using the AM RF
Gain control.
