AM LOOP ANTENNA INSTALLATION
The AM loop antenna is supplied with the stereo tuner. Connect the AM loop
antenna to the AM antenna terminals
i NOTE:
* Do not install the AM loop antenna in a location where it may come in
i contact with any metal objects.
*® Keep the AM loop antenna connected even after an AM outdoor anten-
na has been erected.
AM LOOP ANTENNA
* Unfold all four legs of the AM loop antenna toward the outside, and insert
the stopper inside the legs into the hole in the AM loop antenna to fix it in
position.
® Set the antenna on a level surface, and point in the direction that gives op-
timum reception.
@ Do not install the antenna in locations where it touches the metal objects, or
near a CD player, personal computer, or television set.

AM OUTDOOR ANTENNA
in areas with strong radio waves, the accessory AM loop antenna will be suffi-
cient for radio reception. In the event that nearby buildings or objects make
reception difficult, or when distance from broadcasting stations results in weak
radio waves, an outdoor AM antenna should be installed.
T-TYPE FM ANTENNA INSTALLATION
The T-type FM antenna is supplied with the stereo tuner. This should be used as
a stopgap antenna until an outdoor FM antenna is erected,
1. Connect the two leads of the T-type FM antenna to the terminals marked
BAL. 300 ohrns on the tuner's rear panel.
2. Spread the two ends of the T-type FM antenna horizontally and secure the
antenna to a wail, etc.
EXTERNAL FM ANTENNA INSTALLATION
Use an external antenna when the signals from the station are weak and cannot
be picked up by the accessory T-type FM antenna, or when the sound heard is
accompanied by large amounts of noise. There are two ways of connecting the
external FM antenna to the ANTENNA terminals: with 300-ohm feeder wire, or
with a 75-ohm coaxial cable.
It is recommended that you use the 75-ohm coaxial cable so that the effects of
extraneous noise are reduced to a minimum.
