OPERATION

liStening to am/fm radio

The C 725BEE's internal AM/FM tuner offers very high quality sound
from radio broadcasts. The reception and sound quality will always be
dependent to a degree however on the type of antenna(s) used as well as
proximity to the broadcast origin, geography and weather conditions.

ABOUT ANTENNAS

The supplied ribbon-wire FM antenna can be connected to the rear-panel
FM-antenna input using the included "balun" adapter and should be fully
extended to form a "T". This folded-dipole antenna will usually work best
when oriented vertically, with the arms of its "T" fully outstretched and
arranged perpendicular to the origin of the desired broadcast. There are
no "rules" however, and experimenting freely with antenna placement and
orientation may yield the clearest sound and lowest background noise.
In areas of poor FM reception, an exterior FM antenna can improve
performance dramatically. If radio listening is important to you, consider
consulting an antenna installation professional to optimize your system.
The supplied AM "loop" antenna will usually provide adequate reception.
However, an exterior AM antenna can be used to improve reception.
Consult an antenna professional for more information.
