ANTENNA CONNECTIONS
Radio reception is not possible unless the antenna is
properly connected.
The strength of broadcast signals varies from one area to another. Signal
propagation is especially poor in metropolitan areas, where there are
many
tall buildings,
and
in mountainous
areas.
Proper
antenna
installation is vital to good reception.
FM ANTENNA
FM Antenna Attachment (Page 3, diagram [4] )
Connect the accessory FM antenna to the FM terminals. Stretch the
antenna out to its full '"'T'' shape, and affix it to a wall, etc.
External FM antenna installation (Page 3, diagram [5] )
Use an external antenna when the signals from the station are weak
and cannot be picked up by the accessory FM antenna, or when the
sound heard is accompanied by large amounts of noise.
lf the FM antenna terminal is a PAL terminal then connect as shown
in figure [5 |-a.
If the FM antenna terminal is not a PAL terminal, then connect as in
figure [5]-b if using a 75 Q coaxial cable.
AM ANTENNA
The AM loop antenna supplied with the tuner should be connected to
the AM antenna terminals. The antenna should be placed at a distance
from the tuner, and should not be allowed to touch metallic objects.
Avoid placing it near CD players, personal computers, television sets,
and other devices generating radio frequencies.
Setting Up the AM Antenna (Page 3, diagram [6] )
¢ Insert the clip on the bottom of the antenna into the groove on the leg.
© To permanently fix the antenna, screw the leg to a wall or something
similar before assembling. (fixing the antenna in the direction that gives
the best reception).
¢ Place the antenna on a level surface and rotate it to locate the
orientation that yields the best reception.

SURROUND SYSTEM
External AM antenna (Page 3, diagram
)
Indoor AM antenna
Provide a vinyl-coated wire (5 to 6 meters long). Secure one end to the
AM terminal and the other end to a wall or other high location.
Outdoor AM antenna
If reception is still poor even when a lead antenna has been stretched
out indoors, stretch out a vinyl-coated wire and secure it outdoors.
NOTE:
Do not detach the AM loop antenna when using the external AM
antenna.
FM/AM CHANNEL STEP SWITCH
This switch is not provided on models for Europe or U.K.
Adjustment is only necessary when there is a CHANNEL
STEP
switch at the rear panel.
The CHANNEL STEP switch is located on the rear panel of the digital
synthesizer tuner. Before the tuner leaves the factory, this switch
is set to the channel step standard of the area where the tuner is sold.
Depending on the position of this switch, each time TUNING switch
is pressed, the frequency display changes by the following amount:
[100 kHz/10 kHz] position
For areas with channel step of 100 kHz for FM and 10 kHz for AM.
[50 kHz/9 kHz] position
For areas with channel step of 50 kHz for FM and 9 kHz for AM.
NOTE:
¢ /f the switch is set to the wrong position, correct tuning may not
be possible.
Consult your dealer if you are not sure about the radio channel
step standard in your area.
What is surround sound?
With ordinary stereo, sound normally comes only from speakers in front
of the listener. In a concert hall or theater though, sound reflected from
the walls and ceiling reaches the listener from all directions. This is what
accounts
for the feeling of ambience
or spaciousness
of a live
performance.
Surround sound works to reproduce these effects to produce fuller,
more "'live'' sound.
STEREO WIDE
When
the surround
speakers are not connected,
the. stereo wide
function may be activated. This function enhances the stereo effect.
Note that it does not operate in the case of a monaural source, however.
Speaker System Placement Examples (Page 3, diagram
[8])
The sound effects obtained in a surround system depend on speaker
placement. Experiment with various arrangements to find the one most
suited to your tastes.
Placing the speakers slightly higher than ear level contributes to sound
quality.
[Case A]
Good sound dispersion; recommended for movies, etc.
[Case B]
Sound appears to come from directly in front of listener. Good for
listening to music recordings.
[Case C]
:
Offers most varied effects; good for watching sports programs or
listening to live recordings.
