Sony ST-SE370 Operating Instructions - Page 5

Parts Identification/Getting Started Getting Started Unpacking Check that you received the following items with the tuner: • Audio cord (1) • AM loop antenna (1) • FM wire antenna (1) • EON connecting cord (ST-SE570 only, 1) Hooking up the system 1 Before assembling the supplied antenna, pull the lead wire out from the slot in the antenna frame. 2 Unwrap 3 lengths of the braided lead wire from around the frame of the antenna. Be careful to unwrap only the braided section of the lead wire. Do not unwrap more than 3 lengths of the lead wire. Also, be careful not to unbraid the lead wire. Before you get started • Turn off the power to all components before making any connections. • Do not connect the mains lead until all of the connections are completed. • Be sure to make connections firmly to avoid hum and noise. • When connecting an audio cord, be sure to match the colour-coded pins to the appropriate jacks: White (left) to White; and Red (right) to Red. AM antenna hookups This section describes how to connect the supplied AM loop antenna. For the specific location of the AM ANTENNA terminals, see the illustration below.

ANTENNA FM AM AM loop antenna 75Ω COAXIAL y 5 Adjust the antenna direction for the best reception. The AM loop antenna has a directivity which detects the signal from some angles more strongly than others. Set the antenna to the orientation which provides the best receiving condition. If a high pitched noise (beat noise) occurs when recording AM broadcasts, adjust the position of the AM loop antenna so that the noise disappears. If you live in a building constructed of reinforced concrete, or with a steel frame, you may not be able to achieve good reception since the radio waves become weaker indoors. In this case, we recommend connecting an optional antenna. continued 5
