Antenna ground
Although grounding is not necessary for reception it is
recommended for protection against damage from lightning
if an outdoor FM antenna is used. Grounding is recom-
mended as well, to help reduce noise and hum.
NOTE:
Never make the ground connection to a gas pipe as sparks could
cause the gas to ignite.
Audio and video input/output jacks of this unit are dull
tin-plated, aiming at high quality.
