Supplied FM antenna
Connect the FM antenna wire to the FM 75 OHMS
terminal and position the FM antenna wire in the
direction where the strongest signal can be received.
Supplied AM loop antenna
Connect the AM loop antenna wire to the AM and
GND terminals.
Position the AM loop antenna for optimum recep-
tion. Place the AM loop antenna on a shelf, etc., or
attach it to a stand or a wall with screws (not sup-
plied).
Notes:
When static is still heard even after adjusting the
position of the AM loop antenna, try reversing the
wire connections.
Do not place the AM loop antenna and the FM
antenna wire on the unit. It may result in noise
generation, since the unit is equipped with digital
electronics.
Place the AM loop antenna and the FM antenna
wire away from the unit for better reception.
If the AM loop antenna and the FM antenna wire
are placed near the AC power cord, interference
may result.
