TAPE DECKS
If only one tape deck is to be connected to the system n
1s recommended that it be connected to the jacks marked
TAPE A
Tape deck input and output cables are normally ter-
mina ted w ith phono plugs.
Playback
Plug the left and right output cables of the tape deck
In to the
(I]
and
[§]
TAPE A PLAY jacks.
Record
Plug the lef t and righ t input cables of the tape deck int o
the
(I]
and ([]TAPE A REC Jacks.
Second Tape Deck
Plug the output cables from the second tape deck into
th e TAPE B PLAY/AUX jacks.
The tape deck connected to these jacks cannot be ob-
tained record ing.
TAPE B PLAY/ AUX
The TAPE B PLAY/AUX jacks are used to connect other
h1gh-level signal sources. such as extra tape decks. t uners.
TV or VTR sound outputs. mic preamps. etc.
TURNTABLE
You r ster eo tu rntable has two audio cables that are ter-
minated w ith phono plugs. Plug the left and right channe l
plugs into the [ ] and ([] PHONO input jac ks as shown
If the turntable has a ground wire. con nect it to thi s
unit's GND terminal to avoid hum .
GROUND
For maximum safety and minimum interference con-
nect the GND terminal to a good earth ground if practicable.
A good earth ground is a cold water pipe or a metal stake
dnven 1nto moist earth.
FM ANTENNAS
FM Outdoor Antennas
Consult with you r 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 handl e in routing through
windows and around rooms.
Coaxial cable is more
expensive. does a much better job of minimizing interference.
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 particula rly 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 that type of cable. In many cases a matching
transformer (balun) must be used to connect the antenna
termmals to the coaxial cable .

FM Outdoor Antenna Installation

FM Indoor Antenna
Connect the T-shaped indoor antenna (supplied) to the
300H FM ANTENNA terminals as shown in the system
connection diagram. Spread the two arms that form the top
of the 'T' horizontally and hold them against co nvenient wal l
surfaces.
Try several loca tions for best resu lts on your
favorite stations Tape the antenna in place w here the best
comprom ise is found between listen ing results and
appearance.
AM ANTENNAS
AM Loop A ntenna
Tun e in yo ur fa vor ite AM station and positton the loop
antenna for best reception. Try other stations and find the
position that gives best overa ll reception . When th is unit is
moun ted in a rack or placed on a she lf with insufficient space
behind. re move the loop antenna and hang it from a wall in
the direction w hich gives best receptio n. If the length of the
lead wire is too ·short. add a lead wire of an appropnate
length.
Detachable
Remove from the un it
and hang 11 fr om a wall.
Vary the direcuon of
the loop antenna.
AM Loop Antenna Setting
AM Outdoor Antenna
In steel buildings or at a great distance from the
transmitter. it may be necessary to instal l an out side longwire
antenna . The end of this w ire should be str ipped of insu la-
tion and connected to the AM ter minal. At this time. keep
the loop antenna connected.
AC OUTLETS
The AC out let s on the rea r panel of t he uni t may be
used
to
supply power to other components such as a
turn table. tape deck. etc. Never con nect here any equ ipment
whose power consumption exceeds the capacity of ea ch
outlet.
1. SWITCH ED outlet -
Th is is 100 watts maximum in
capacity and is controlled by the POWER switc h on the
front panel.
2. UN SWITCHED outlet - Th is is 200 watts maximum in
capac ity and power is available at all times.
