CONNECTIONS
[ Antenna connections
Radio reception is not possible unless the antenna is properly
connected.
The strength of broadcast signals varies from one area to
another. Signal propagation is especially poor in metropolitan
areas, where there are many tall buildings and in mountainous
areas. Proper antenna installation is vital to good reception.
FM ANTENNA
Stretch out the antenna and affix it to a wall, etc.
External FM antenna installation
Use an external antenna when the signals from the stations are
weak and cannot be picked up by the accessory FM antenna, or
when the sound heard is accompanied by too much noise.
[B] AM ANTENNA
The antenna should be placed at a distance from this unit, and
should not be allowed to touch metallic objects. Avoid placing
it near CD players, personal computers, television sets, and
other devices generating radio frequencies.
Setting Up the AM Loop Antenna (Fig. (B})
e Insert the clip on the bottom of the antenna into the groove on
the leg.
e@To permanently affix the antenna, screw the leg to a wall or
something similar before assembling (affixing the antenna in
the direction that gives the best reception).
@Place the antenna on a level surface and rotate it to locate the
orientation that yields the best reception.

[Cc] External AM antenna
@ Indoor AM antenna
Provide a vinyl-coated wire (5 to 6 meters long). Secure one
end to the AM terminal and the other end to a wall or other
high location.
@ Outdoor AM antenna
If reception is still poor even when a lead antenna has been
fully extended indoors, stretch out a vinyl-coated wire and
secure it outdoors.

NOTES:
@ Do not detach the AM loop antenna when using the external
AM antenna.

when an antenna is connected. It is not a safety earth.
