Checking

for

phase,

and

correcting

if

necessary,

is

quite

simple,

and

is

done

at

the

time

of

installation

of

the

system.

Play

a

record

with

readily

apparent

bass

tones.

Listen carefully

to

the

strength

and

clarity

of

the

bass.

Now

reverse

the

connections

of

one

of

the

speakers.

If

the

bass

notes

are

now

louder

and

clearer,

the

speakers

are

now

correctly

phased.

If

the

bass

seems

weaker,

the

original

connection

was

correct.

A

Connecting

The

FM

Antenna:

Due

to

the

exceptionally

high

FM

sensitivity

of

the

TA224,

the

48"

piece

of

wire

supplied

with

the

unit

will

be

sufficient

antenna

for

all

but

the

most

difficult

locations.

One

end

of

this

wire

should

be

stripped

of

insulation

and

attached

to

the

rear

screw

terminal

marked

FM

on

the

Antenna

Terminal

strip

located

on

the

rear

of

the

chassis.

The

other

end

of

this

wire

should

be

extended

horizontally

along

the

cabinet

or

table.

Horizontal

placement

of

the

antenna

wire

provides

proper

polarization

for

optimum

reception.

If

an

outdoor

antenna

is

required

to

"reach"

for

distant

stations,

use

a

folded

dipole

or

Yagi

specifically

cut

for

the

FM

band.

A

homemade

300

ohm

"T"

type

antenna

is

not

satisfactory

and

should

not

be

used

as

a

substitute

for

the

48"

piece

of

wire

supplied

with

the

set.

The

"T"

type

antenna

has

a

tendency

to

pick

up

extraneous

noise.

TV

antennas

are

at

times

satisfactory

but

may

have

a

tendency

to

introduce

ignition

noise

and

other

interference into

the

tuner

circuit.

They

are

not

recom-

mended

except

under

unavoidable

circumstances.

Usually

better

results

can

be

obtained

with

the

48"

piece

of

wire.

When

using

an

outdoor

antenna,

attach

the

300

ohm

lead-in

wire

(twisting

it

4-5

times

for

each

running

foot)

to

the

antenna

terminals

on

the

rear

of

the

TA224

marked
