ANTENNA AND GROUND CONNECTIONS
FM ANTENNA CONNECTIONS
For the best results you should use an outdoor-
type FM antenna, although the simple T-type
antenna supplied with the receiver may be used
satisfactorily in areas of high signal strength (for
instance, those very near to the FM station, or in
a house of all-wooden construction).
FM Outdoor Antenna
Normally, install antenna as follows.
e Connect antenna feeder wire to the 8002
antenna terminals of the SX-950 as shown in
Fig. 4,
® While listening to broadcasts, as described on
page 10, install the antenna and determine the
best location for optimum reception. Secure
antenna firmly.

NOTE:
Urban areas with heavy traffic, industrial zones, or loca-
tions near high voltage power lines may experience
interference even with a special FM antenna. In such cases
seek the advice of an audio dealer. It may be advisable
to employ 75Q coaxial cable to connect the antenna to
the S¥-950 75Q UNBAL connector.

T-type Antenna
The accompanying T-type antenna can be used
where FM signals are strong. Connect it to the
antenna terminals as shown in Fig.6. While
listening to an FM station, spread the two arms
horizontally and determine its best orientation.
Secure it to a wall or ceiling. See FM Reception
on page 10.

AM ANTENNA
Normally, position the ferrite bar antenna (Fig. 7)
AM Indoor Antenna
If reception is difficult with the bar antenna, an
indoor AM antenna can be erected with vinyl
insulated wire as shown in Fig. 6.
AM Outdoor Antenna
For optimum AM reception, an outdoor AM
antenna using vinyl insulated wire can be erected
as shown in Fig. 4.

GROUND
For maximum safety and to eliminate noise, con-
nect the GND terminal to an earth ground if at
all possible. See Fig. 4.
