which are reasonably close. The "T" portion of the wire should be fully extended and oriented for best
reception. The antenna will not function well if it is rolled up or casually dropped behind the tuner: Should
you find that the dipole is not adequate for your reception needs, please contact your dealer to obtain
further information about the variety of antennas that will provide the performance characteristics you
require.
OUTPUTS

Using the quality stereo cable provided, connect the Left and Right channel jacks on the GFT-555
to the appropriate input jacks marked "Tuner" or "Aux" on your integrated amplifier or preamplifier.
FUSE
fI
The GFT-555 is protected by an AC line fuse. This fuse is a 1 Amp AGC type. Replace this fuse only
with a fuse of the same type and rating. Replacement of this fuse with one of a higher value will not
protect the tuner and will void the warranty (See Section 5).
AC LINE CORD
0
With the power switch in the OFF position, plug the AC line cord into a standard wall outlet
providing 110-120 volts AG, 50-60 Hz.
