Installation
AM Antenna
In all but remote rural locations, the special ferrite core bar
antenna mounted at the rear panel provides excellent AM re¬
ception.
For the best results, select the optimum location
against the direction of the transmission. If an external antenna
is required, connect a length of wire (any type will do) to the
AM ANTENNA terminal on the rear panel.
INDOOR DIPOLE ANTENNA
FM Antenna
Connect the antenna lugs to the 300-ohm ANTENNA termi¬
nals on the rear panel. Rotation of the FM antenna will be
needed for the best reception.
FM Outside Antenna
If you live in remote fringe area, or in a metropolitan area
with reception problems, it may be necessary to use an outside
antenna.
If you require a separate FM antenna, purchase a
quality FM unit from your dealer. Connect the cable from the
antenna to the 300-ohm ANTENNA terminals on the rear of the
R-3045.
Speakers
Connecting Speakers
Look at your speakers.
You will note that one terminal is
unmarked.
The other will be designeated 'COM', 'COMMON',
'GND', 'GROUND', or Black.
Connect the 'COM' terminal of
each speaker to the appropriate black SPEAKERS terminal on
the rear of the tuner-amplifier. Make sure the wire does not con¬
tact the chassis or another terminal, to prevent shorts. Then
connect the other speaker terminal to the appropriate red
SPEAKERS terminal of the tuner-amplifier. To connect a single
pair of speakers, connect the wiers from the left speaker (as
viewed from the listening position) to the "L" A SPEAKERS
terminals. Similarly, connect the right speaker to the "R" A
SPEAKERS terminals of the tuner-amplifier. The 2nd pair of
speakers can be connected similarly to B SPEAKERS terminals.
Speaker Phasing
To enjoy good stereo reprocuction, it is necessary that the
two stereo speakers in any location work as a team, 'pushing'
and 'pulling' the air in unison. If this work is incomplete, low-
pitched sounds will sound weaker than they should, and the
stereo effect at higher frequencies will become indistinct. To
connect your speakers for proper stereo effect (this is called
"phasing"), proceed as follows:
Play an FM program with the Mono Switch in the "depres¬
sed" (mono) position. If the low bass notes sound normal, the
speakers are properly phased. If they sound thin, or weak, the
speakers are out of phase. Should this occur, turn off the unit
and
carefully check the connections at either one of the
speaker.
Tape Recorders-Decks
Tape Recorders and Decks
Two tape recorders can be connected to record and playback
through the R-3045. See page ( 9 ) for tape connections of all
types. For additional information see the manual of your tape
machine or consult your dealer.
Master Antenna and Other 75-ohm Systems
Some buildings have master antenna that carry FM. Connect
to the 75-ohm ANTENNA terminal on the rear of the unit.
NOTE:
For clarification, if necessary, see your dealer, who
can advise you concerning the best antenna instal¬
lations.
