Antenna

If

experiencing

poor

FM

reception

whi

le

using

the

accessory

antenna,

the

use

of

an

outdoor

antenna

exclusively

for

FM

reception

is

l

ikely

to

improve

FM

reception.

The

connecting

wire

between

the

antenna

and

the

antenna

input

terminal

is

cal

led

a

feeder.

Most

feeders

are

300

Ohm

paral

lel

or

75

Ohm

coaxial

cables.

We

recommend

a

3C

-2V

or

5C

-2V

75

Ohm

coaxial

cable

to

be

used

with

this

unit

to

enable

it

to

perform

to

its

ful

lest

capacity.

The

coaxial

cable

has

a

stronger

resistance

against

loss

and

interference

com-

pared

to

a

paral

lel

feeder.

If

there

is

a

lot

of

noise

whi

le

receiving

an

FM

broadcast,

we

recommend

that

you

make

a

ground

connection.

Connect

one

end

of

a

thick

wire

to

the

antenna

"GND"

terminal

and

wind

the

other

end

around

an

earth

bar

or

earth

plate

and

drive

it

into

the

ground.

AM

Antenna

The

AM

loop

antenna

attached

to

this

unit

al

lows

sufficient

reception,

except

in

an

area

where

AM

signals

are

weak.

In

a

fringe

area

or

inside

a

concrete

bui

lding

where

the

reception

is

weak

and

the

sound

qual

ity

is

poor,

an

outdoor

AM

antenna

is

l

ikely

to

improve

reception.

Place

the

AM

loop

antenna

as

far

away

from

this

unit

as

possible,

e.g.

hang

it

on

a

wal

l,

making

sure

it

is

not

touching

any

metal

object.

You

may

also

install

the

AM

loop

.

To

remove

the

AM

loop

antenna

from

the

unit,

simply
