02 Connecting up 4 Place the AM antenna on a flat surface and in a direction giving the best reception. 5 Connect the FM wire antenna in the same way as the AM loop antenna. For best results, extend the FM antenna fully and fix to a wall or door frame. Don't drape loosely or leave coiled up. Using external antennas To improve FM reception Use a 75 Ω coaxial cable to connect an external FM antenna. Connecting the speakers Make sure you connect the speaker on the right to the right terminal and the speaker on the left to the left terminal. Also make sure the positive and negative (+/-) terminals on the receiver match those on the speakers. You can use speakers with a nominal impedance between 4 Ω to 16 Ω. Be sure to complete all connections before connecting this unit to the AC power source. Left speaker One-touch PAL connector FM UNBAL 75 AM LOOP ANTENNA 75 Ω coaxial cable To improve AM reception Connect a 5 m to 6 m (15 ft. to 18 ft.) length of vinyl-coated wire to the AM antenna terminal without disconnecting the supplied AM loop antenna.

Connect the right speaker in the same way. You can use either bare wire connections to do this (see below). Bare wire connections Make sure that the speaker cable you're going to use is properly prepared with about 10 mm (3/8 in.) of insulator stripped from each wire, and the exposed wire strands twisted together (fig. A). 10 En
