HEADPHONE

RECEPTACLE

The

stereo

headphone

receptacle

located

on

the

front

panel

will

accept

any

headphone

with

any

impedance

rating.

The

headphone

receptacle

is

"ON"

at

all

times.

If

you

wish

to

listen

to

the

headphones

alone,

see

the

paragraph

"Speaker

CONNECTING

THE

FM

ANTENNA

MODEL

SC1810

Due

to

the

exceptionally

high

sensitivity

of

your

system,

the

48"

wire

supplied

is

sufficient

for

all

but

the

most

difficult

locations.

The

balanced

antenna

input

is

designed

to

accept

a

300

12

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

recep-

tion.

The

antenna

may

be

tacked

to

the

back

of

the

molding

behind

the

equip-

ment

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.

In

more

remote

locations,

an

outside

Yagi,

folded

di

-pole

or

omni-direc-

tional

antenna

is

recommended.

For

the

greatest

gain,

an

8

to

14

element

Yagi

designed

for

the

FM

band

is

suggested.

A

Yagi

however,

is

very

directional

and

it

may

be

desirable

to

use

an

antenna

rotor

if

a

full

360

°

coverage

is

required.

For

reception

in

the

suburbs,

an

outside

folded

di

-pole

or

omni-directional

di

-pole

is

recommended.
