Figure 4. AM Ferrite-rod Antenna
ANTENNA ATTENUATOR
The ANTENNA ATTENUATOR can be switched
into or out of the antenna circuit. Use the
ANTENNA ATTENUATOR switch in the "IN"
position only when overloading is apparent from
reception of one station at several points of the
dial and is affecting reception of a desired station.
Overloading may also cause severedistortion which
will not disappear with proper antenna orientation.
(Note: With the ANTENNA ATTENUATOR
switch "IN", the FM sensitivity and the number of
stations that can be received are greatly reduced.)
AM ANTENNA
Your Receiver is equipped with an AM ferrite-rod
antenna.
BEFORE USING THE MODEL 2230, PULL THE
ANTENNA OUT AS SHOWN IN FIGURE 4.
The ferrite-rod antenna will give you satisfactory
results to primary signal areas. However, an
outdoor antenna will provide better reception.
Two single wires are required to make an AM
outdoor antenna. First, connect one end of a single
wire to the AM antenna terminal on the rear panel,
and the other end at a very high position outdoors
(the higher the better), or swing it from the
window of your room. Next, connect the other
single wire between the "G" (GROUND) terminal
of your Model 2230 and an earth ground (such as a
water pipe).

CONNECTION TO AC OUTLET
With the front panel power pushswitch "out," plug
the Iine cord into an electrical outlet supplying the
proper voltage. CAUTION: DO NOT PLUG YOUR
MODEL 2230 INTO A DC OUTLET. SINCE
SERIOUS DAMAGE WILL OCCUR.
CONVENIENCE OUTLET
One UNSWITCHED and one SWITCHED AC
OUTLET are provided on the rear panel for
powering associated components of your system
(tape recorder, record player, etc.).
SIMPLIFIED OPERATING PROCEDURE
When operating the Model 2230 Stereo Receiver
for the first time, follow these simple directions.
Later, full advantage can be taken of its versatil ity
with the remaining controls and pushswitches.
Step 1. Connect the FM antenna to the appropri-
ate terminals on the rear panel.
Step 2. Connect the speakers to the MAIN speaker
terminals.
Step 3. Check that all pushswitches are in the
"out" position. Pushswitches in the "in" position
should be depressed for releasing to the "out"
position.
Step 4. Turn the volume control all the way to the
left (counter clockwise) and set the balance control
in mid-position (pointer to dot at 12 o'clock).
Step 5. Rotate treble, mid, and bass controls to
the 12 o'clock position (each pair of pointers to
dot).
Step 6. Set MAIN Speaker pushswitch "in," and
REMOTE "out" (assuming your loudspeakers are
connected to the MAIN amplifier terminals).
Step 7. Turn on system power by depressing the
power switch.
Step 8. Select the desired program source by
setting the selector switch to the appropriate
