INPUT

CONNECTIONS

CONNECTING

the

FM

ANTENNA

The

antenna

input

has

been

designed

to

accept

either

a

300

ohm

balanced

transmission

line

(300

ohm

twin

lead)

or

a

75

ohm

unbalanced

co

-axial

cable

transmission

line.

Due

to

the

exceptionally

high

sensitivity

of

your

receiver,

a

48"

wire

is

sufficient

for

all

but

the

most

difficult

locations.

When

using

the

48"

antenna,

connect

one

end

of

the

48"

wire

to

either

FM

antenna

terminal.

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

arc

affected

by

the

same

external

conditions.

Just

as

TV

reception

is

im-

proved,

you

can

improve

your

FM

reception

with

on

external

antenna.

When

using

an

external

antenna,

connect

both

leads

of

the

antenna

wire

to

the

two

300

ohm

FM

antenna

terminal

posts

on

the

rear

of

your

receiver.

When

using

a

75

ohm

Coaxial

Cable

connect

between

the

75

ohm

and

GND

terminal,

with

the

outer

conductor

or

shield

of

the

cable

connected

to

the

GND

terminal

.

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

de-

signed

to

be

installed

between

a

preamplifier

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

he

installed

in

order

to

use

your

receiver.

PHONO

1

and

PHONO

2

There

are

two

sets

of

low

level

phono

receptacles

on

the

rear

panel

of

your

receiver.

They

are

designed

for

use

with

any

magnetic

pickup

with

a

nominal

impedance

of

42,000

to

52,000

ohms.

This

special

convenience

permits

you

to

connect

a

record

changer

and

a

manual

turntable

simultaneously,

and

to

switch

between

them

with

the

function

selector

located

on

the

front

panel.

Since

both

low

level

inputs

are

identical

and

each

has

been

compensated

for

the

RJAA

recording

curve

of

today's

modern

recordings,

either

or

both

may

be

used.

When

connecting

a

stereo

record

player

(magnetic

pickup)

connect

both

leads

to

either

the

Phono

1

or

Phono

2

LEFT

and

RIGHT

input

receptacles

on

the

rear

of

the

receiver

chassis.

When

connecting

a

monophonic

record

player

(magnetic

pickup)

connect

the

single

lead

to

either

the

Phono

1

or

Phono

2

LEFT

or

RIGHT

input

receptacle.

GROUND

CONNECTION

Under

certain

conditions

it

may

be

necessary

to

provide

a

common

"ground"

between

your

receiver

and

your

other

associated

equipment.

This

may

be

ac-

complished

by

using the

GND

terminal

located

on

the

rear

panel

of

your

receiver.

AUX

INPUTS

Your

receiver

has

two

pair

of

AUX

INPUT

receptacles

use

with

high

level

program

sources;

ceramic

or

crystal

pickup,

reel-to-reel

tape

recorder,

cassette

tape

recorder,

TV

or

a

second

stereo

tuner.

When

connecting

a

stereo

record

player

(ceramic

pickup)

connect

both

leads

to

either

the

AUX

1

or

AUX

2

LEFT

and

RIGHT

input

receptacles

on

the

rear

of

the

receiver

chassis,

When

connecting

a

monophonic

record

player

(ceramic

pickup)

connect

the

single

lead

to

either

the

AUX

1

or

AUX

2

LEFT

or

RIGHT

input

receptacle.

When

connecting

a

stereo

tape

recorder

connect

both

output

cables

to

either

the

AUX

1

or

AUX

2

LEFT

and

RIGHT

input

receptacles

on

the

rear

of

the

receiver

chassis.

When

connecting

a

monophonic

tape

recorder

connect

the

single

output

lead

to

either

the

AUX

1

or

AUX

2

LEFT

or

RIGHT

input

receptacle.

In

order

to

make

a

recording

connect

the

input

cable

(if

monophonic)

or

cables

(if

stereophonic)

to

either

the

TAPE

OUT

1

or

TAPE

OUT

2

receptacles

on

the

rear

of

the

receiver

chassis.

TAPE

MONITOR

1

and

TAPE

MONITOR

2

There

are

two

pair

of

tape

monitor

receptacles

on

the

rear

of

your

receiver.

Either

one

or

both

pair

of

receptacles

may

be

used

to

monitor

your

tapes

as

you

make

a

recording,

provided

your

tape

recorder

or

recorders

have

separate

record

and

playback

heads.

Connect

the

LEFT

and

RIGHT

output

cables

of

your

tape

recorder

to

the

TAPE

MONITOR

1

or

2

input

receptacles.
