Hooking Up the System
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 aerial hookups
This section describes how to connect the supplied AM
loop aerial. For the specific location of the AM
ANTENNA terminals, see the illustration below.

Before assembling the supplied aerial, pull the
lead wire out from the slot in the aerial frame.
2 Unwrap 3 lengths of the braided lead wire from
around the frame of the aerial. 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.

Adjust the aerial direction for the best reception.
The AM loop aerial has a directivity which detects
the signal from some angles more strongly than
others. Set the aerial 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 aerial 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 aerial.

For stations that are difficult to receive
Try repositioning the loop aerial while tuning. Placing
the supplied AM loop aerial near a window will help
improve reception quality.
