Connecting Antennas
AM Outdoor Antenna
If the AM loop antenna provided does not deliver
sufficient reception (because you are too far from
the transmitter or in a concrete building, etc.), it
may be necessary to use an outdoor AM antenna.
Strip one end of a 5-m or longer, insulated wire
and connect it to the terminal as shown.
The antenna wire should be strung outdoors or if
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 attach it to a window
frame or wall with thumbtacks, or the like, where
reception is best.
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.

AM Indoor Loop Antenna
A 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, insert the
claw into the slot.
Connect the loop antenna’s wires to the AM
antenna terminals as shown.
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).
