Connecting the AM loop antenna
* The AM loop antenna should be placed away from this unit. The antenna may be hung on a wall.
* The AM loop antenna always should be connected, even if an outdoor AM antenna is connected to this unit.
ANTENNA CONNECTIONS
Each antenna should be correctly connected to the designated terminals, referring to the following diagram.
Both AM and FM indoor antennas are included with this unit. In general, these antennas will probably provide sufficient signal
strength. Nevertheless, a properly installed outdoor antenna will give clearer reception than an indoor one. If you experience poor
reception quality, an outdoor antenna may result in improvement.
GND TERMINAL
For maximum safety and minimum interference, connect the
GND terminal to a good earth ground. A good earth ground is a
metal stake driven into moist earth.
Notes
• When connecting the indoor FM
antenna, firmly insert its connector
into the FM ANT terminal.
• If you need an outdoor FM antenna to
improve FM reception quality, either
300-ohm feeder or coaxial
cable may be used. In locations
troubled by electrical interference, coaxial cable is preferable.
Orient so that the best
reception is obtained.
