Antenna Connections

FM Indoor Antenna

In an area with strong FM signals, the "T"-type FM anten-
na provided is sufficient. Extend this into a "T" shape and
connect the two wires at the base of the T to the anten-
na terminals, as shown. For details of how to connect
the antenna wires to the terminals, see the illustration.
Extend the top of the T and fix with thumb tacks, or the
like, to a wall or window frame for the best possible
reception.

FM Outdoor Antenna

In an area where FM signals are weak, it will be
necessary to use a 75-ohm unbalanced-type outdoor FM
antenna. Generally, a 3-element antenna will be suffi-
cient; if you live in an area where the FM signals are par-
ticularly weak, it may be necessary to use one with 5 or
more elements.
A 75-ohm antenna uses a coaxial cable and should be
connected as follows: first strip the covering of the cable,
then twist the wire shielding so the inner core and shield-
ing can be connected as shown.

How to connect antenna
Press the lever, insert the
stripped and twisted end of the
wire, then release the lever so
that the wire is held securely.

AM Antenna

AM Indoor Loop Antenna
A high-performance AM loop antenna provided with the
receiver is sufficient for good reception in most areas.
Connect the loop antenna's wires to the AM antenna ter-
minals as shown. Place the antenna on a shelf, for exam-
ple, or hang it on a window frame, etc., in the direction
which gives the best reception, as far away as possible
from the entire system, speaker cords and the power
cord, to prevent unwanted noise.
AM Outdoor Antenna
If the AM loop antenna provided does not deliver suffi-
cient reception (because you are too far from the trans-
mitter or in a concrete building, etc.), it may be necessary
to use an outdoor AM antenna. Use an insulated wire
more than 15 ft (5 m) long, strip one end, and connect
this to the terminal as shown. The antenna wire should
be strung outdoors or indoors near a window. For better
reception, connect the GND terminal to a reliable
ground.
Note: Even when using an outdoor AM antenna, do not
disconnect the AM loop antenna.
