RADIO RECEPTION TIPS
For improved reception, connect an op-
tional outdoor VHF/UHF antenna to the
ANT IN
jack on the back of the TV/radio/
cassette using these guidelines.
• If the outdoor antenna wire is 300-
ohm double lead-in wire, connect
the wire to the TV/radio/cassette’s
ANT IN
jack using an external 300-
ohm antenna adapter (not supplied).
• If the outdoor antenna wire or CATV
cable is 75-ohm coaxial cable, con-
nect the cable to the TV/radio/cas-
sette’s
ANT IN
jack using an F-to-
1
/
8
-
inch miniplug adapter (such as Cat.
No. 278-257, not supplied).
Note: Your local RadioShack store has
a wide selection of antennas and adapt-
ers to choose from.
Weak AM reception might be caused by
the distance from the station or by oper-
ating the TV/radio/cassette in a building
with steel construction. Turn the TV/ra-
dio/cassette in different directions for the
best reception.
