CONNECTIONS
Antenna Connections
Radio reception is not possible unless the antenna
is properly connected.
The strength of broadcast signals varies from one area to another.
Signal propagation is especially poor in metropolitan areas, where
there are many tall buildings, and also in mountainous areas. Proper
antenna installation is vital to good reception.
AM ANTENNA
The AM loop antenna supplied with the tuner should be connected
to the AM antenna terminals. The antenna should be placed at a
distance from the tuner, and should not be allowed to touch metallic
objects. Avoid placing it near CD players, personal computers,
television sets, and other devices generating radio frequencies.
Connecting the external AM antenna
NOTE:
Do not detach the AM loop antenna when using an external AM
antenna.
Setting up the AM loop antenna
• Insert the clip on the bottom of the antenna into the groove on
the leg.
• Place the antenna on a level surface and rotate it to locate the
orientation that yields the best reception.
• To permanently affix the antenna,screw the leg to a wall or post
before assembling (affixing the antenna in the direction that gives
the best reception).
