CONNECTING INSTRUCTIONS
FM ANTENNA
Four terminals are provided for connection to a 300 or 75 ohms
FM antenna as shown below.
For good FM stereo reception, always use the best antenna pos­
sible. In areas close to the transmitter, a simple T-Type antenna may
suffice. It should be remembered, however, that the pickup of reflec­
tions (similar to "ghosts" on TV) will result in poor stereo reception.
These reflections must therefore be reduced to a minimum, either
by careful orientation of the indoor dipole antenna or, if this will not
eliminate them, by using a more directional outdoor type antenna.
In areas a greater distance from the transmitter, the use of an
outdoor antenna is highly recommended. These are available in various
types. For reception of stations scattered in many directions, a non-
directional type antenna will offer better results. When using a direc­
tional antenna, always orient it for the best reception of the desired
station. The correct position will be indicated by maximum deflection
of the Signal Meter on your tuner.
Keep FM antennas away from roads.
