CONNECTING

THE

FM

ANTENNA

Due

to

the

exceptionally

high

sensitivity

of

your

receiver,

the

48"

wire

supplied

is

sufficient

for

all

but

the

most

difficult

locations.

The

balanced

antenna

input

is

designed

to

accept

a

300

a

antenna,

indoor

or

outdoor type.

When

using

the

antenna

supplied

connect

one

end

of

the

48"

wire

to

either

of

the

FM

antenna

terminals.

Horizontal

placement

of

the

antenna

will

yield

optimum

reception.

The

antenna

may

be

tacked

to

the

back

of

the

molding

behind

the

equipment

or

to

the

shelf

you

use.

As

FM

signals

are

in

the

same

broadcast

frequency

range

as

TV

signals,

they

are

affected

by

the

same

external

conditions.

Just

as

TV

reception

is

im-

proved,

you

can

improve

your

FM

reception

with

an

external

antenna.

When

using

an

external

antenna,

connect

both

leads

of

the

antenna

wire

to

the

two

FM

antenna

terminal

posts

on

the

rear

of

your

receiver.

CONNECTING

THE

AM

ANTENNA

The

AM

loopstick

fastened

to

the

rear

your

receiver

comprises

all

the

antenna

usually

required

for

normal

signal

areas.

In

more

remote

locations

an

additional

outdoor

antenna

may

be

required.

This

should

consist

of

a

single

wire,

as

long

as

is

reasonably

practical.

It

must

be

kept

away

from

large

metal

objects,

power

lines

or

electrical

machinery

to

insure

reception

without

extraneous

noise.

Attach

this

length

of

wire

to

the

AM

terminal

of

the

ANTENNA

terminal

strip.
