AM outdoor antenna
in steel buildings or ata great distance from the transmitter,
it may be necessary to install an outside long wire antenna.
The end of this wire should be stripped of insulation and
connected to the AM terminal. At this time, keep the loop
antenna connected.
FM indoor antenna
Connect the T-shaped indoor antenna (supplied) to the
3009 FM ANTENNA terminals as shown in the antenna
connections diagram. Spread the two arms that form the
top of the "T" horizontally and hold them against conven-
ient wall surfaces. Try several locations for best results on
your favorite stations. Tape the antenna in place where the
best compromise is found between listening results and
appearance.
FM outdoor antenna
Consult with your dealer or service man about the best
method of selecting and erecting an outdoor FM antenna.
The choice of lead-in (feeder) wire is also important. The
flat ribbon-shaped twin lead performs well electrically, is
cheaper and is somewhat easier to handle in routing
through windows and around rooms. Coaxial cable is more
expensive, does a much better job of minimizing interfer-
ence, is less prone to the effects of weather and close-by
metal objects, and is nearly as good a signal conductor as
the ribbon type wire. The latter is particularly true of
foam-type coaxial cables. Coaxial cable is somewhat more
difficult to install at the point where the cable enters the
building. If coaxial cable is selected, make sure the antenna
is designed to drive the type of cable.
75 coaxial cable connection
After stripping the end of your coaxial cable, RG-6 or
RG-59 mount the supplied 750/300 FM antenna adapt-
er on the cable as shown. Then insert the plug into the 752,
ANTENNA terminal on the rear panel as shown in Antenna
connections diagram. ,
Press the claws in the
direction of the arrows
with the fingers to re-
Jease the lock and pull
out the cover.

2. Connect the processed coaxial cable to 752/300 anzenna adapter as
shown below. In the case of RG-6, insert and wind the inner conductor
around the slit. In the case of RG-59, further insert and wind the inner
conductor around the slit. Detach the collar in the antenna adapter.

750 antenna connection
3000 ribbon type cable connection
Although the unit is designed exclusively for use with 750
coaxial cable. it can also accept a 300 indoor antenna
or 3002 ribbon-type lead-in cable by using the supplied
7502/3000 antenna adapter. Strip the plastic insulation
from the wire ends for about 10mm (3/8 inch). Connect
the wires to the terminals on the adapter, then insert it into
the 7592 ANTENNA terminal on the rear panel (see
Antenna connections diagram).
If you connect a 3002 feeder cable, you need not detach
the cover in the 7502/3000 antenna adapter.
Note:
A FM outdoor antenna can be connected
to the receiver with
either
a 759 coaxial cable or 3000
ribbon feeder. For proper
connection.
carefully read the instruction manual
for the FM
outdoor antenna.
