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 11 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 improved, 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 of 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. PREAMP OUT AND AMP IN RECEPTACLES These receptacles are intended for use with any necessary equipment designed to be installed between a preamplfier and power amplifier. This includes. such equipment as electronic audio equalizers, reverberation units, and a new quadraphonic processor offered by Harman-Kardon. In order to make use of this facility, simply disconnect the two patch cords connected to these receptacles and follow the instructions supplied with the accessory equipment. NOTE: When no accessory equipment is being used, the two patch cords MUST be installed in order to use your receiver. CONNECTING A STEREO RECORD PLAYER (MAGNETIC PICKUP) Connect both leads from your record player to the LEFT and RIGHT PHONO input receptacles on the rear of the receiver chassis. If your record player has a special ground wire emerging with the two input leads, connect this ground wire to the ground terminal on the rear of the receiver. CONNECTING A MONOPHONIC RECORD PLAYER (MAGNETIC PICKUP) Connect the single lead from your monophonic record player to either the LEFT or RIGHT PHONO input receptacles on the rear of the receiver chassis. CONNECTING A STEREO RECORD PLAYER (CERAMIC PICKUP) Connect both leads from your record player to the LEFT and RIGHT TAPE AMP/AUX input receptacles on the rear of the receiver chassis. CONNECTING A MONOPHONIC RECORD PLAYER (CERAMIC PLAYER) Connect the single lead from your monophonic record player to either the LEFT or RIGHT TAPE AMP/AUX input receptacle on the rear of the receiver. CONNECTING A STEREO TAPE RECORDER Connect the two tape recorder output cables to the LEFT and RIGHT TAPE AMP/AUX input receptacles on the rear of your receiver. With the Function switch in the TAPE AMP/AUX position you will now be able to play your stereo tapes. If your tape recorder has a special monitor head, connect the two tape recorder output cables to the left and right TAPE-MON receptacles on the rear of your receiver. This will now enable you to monitor your tapes as they are being recorded. Refer to the paragraph entitled Source/Monitor Switch. in order to make a recording, connect the inputs of your tape recorder to either pair of TAPE OUT receptacles on the rear of the receiver. This will allow you to make a stereophonic recording while simultaneously listening to the program material through your speaker system. CONNECTING A MONOPHONIC TAPE RECORDER If a monophonic tape recorder is to be used with your receiver connect the recorder output to either the LEFT or RIGHT TAPE AMP/AUX input receptacle located on the rear panel. This will enable you to play back your monophonic tapes. If your recorder is stereo playback but records monophonically, connect the output as described in the previous section on connecting a stereo tape recorder. Connect the input for recording monophonically as described below. Connect the input of your recorder to either LEFT or RIGHT TAPE OUT receptacle. This will enable you to record monophonically while simultaneously listening to the program through the receiver and speakers. 6
