(3) Connecting Antennas
A
AM Indoor Loop Antenna
The high-performance AM loop antenna provided
with this unit is sufficient for good reception in most
areas.
To stand the loop antenna on a surface, fix the claw
to the slot.
Connect the loop antenna's wires to the AM antenna
terminals as shown.
(Connect the white wire to the upper terminal, and
the black wire to the lower terminal.)
Place the antenna on a shelf, for example, or hang it
on a window frame, etc., in the direction which gives
the best reception, as far away as possible from the
entire system, speaker cords and the power cord, to
prevent unwanted noise.
If there is no room for the AM loop antenna, you may
mount it on the wall using screws (not supplied).
AM Antenna
B
AM Outdoor Antenna
If the AM loop antenna provided does not deliver
sufficient reception (often due to being too far from
the transmitter or in a concrete building, etc.), it may
be necessary to use an outdoor AM antenna.
Use an insulated wire more than 15 ft (5 m) long,
strip one end, and connect this to the terminal as
shown.
The antenna wire should be strung outdoors or
indoors near a window. For better reception, connect
the GND terminal to a reliable ground.
Note:
Even when using an outdoor AM antenna, do not
disconnect the AM loop antenna.

FM Indoor Antenna
Connect the lead-type FM antenna to the FM 75 Ω
socket, extend the lead and fix it to a window frame
or wall with thumbtacks, or the like, where reception
is best.
D
FM Outdoor Antenna
In an area where FM signals are weak, it will be
necessary to use an outdoor FM antenna.
Generally, a 3-element antenna will be sufficient; if
you live in an area where the FM signals are
particularly weak, it may be necessary to use one
with 5 or more elements.
