SPEAKER PHASING (Cont) the monophonic position. Instead, it will appear to come from both sides. If the speakers are out-of-phase, turn off the system and disconnect both leads from either the left or right speaker and reverse them. Your system will now be in phase. 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 ohm antenna, indoor or outdoor type. When using the antenna supplied, connect one end of the 48" wire to either FM antenna terminal, as shown on the rear panel drawing. Horizontal placement of the antenna offers maximum polarization for optimum reception. The antenna may be tacked to the back of the molding behind the equipment or to the shelf you use. In more remote locations, an outside Yagi, folded di-pole or omnidirectional antenna is recommended (Jerrold/Taco FMP 8, FMP 10, FMP 16). For the greatest gain, an 8 to 14 element Yagi, designed for the FM band, is suggested. A Yagi is very directional, however, 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. CONNECTING THE AM ANTENNA The self-contained AM antenna, located inside the cabinet of your compact music system, comprises all the antenna usually required for a normal signal area. In more remote locations, an additional outdoor antenna may be necessary. 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 on the ANTENNA TERMINAL STRIP. CONNECTING A STEREO TAPE RECORDER Since most stereo tape recorders include their own record and playback pre-amplifiers, it is not desirable to connect the output of the recorder into any low level input receptacles. This will result in overloading of the low level stage and cause distortion. Connect the two tape recorder output leads to the LEFT and RIGHT
