Antennas
To enjoy a clearer picture, use an outdoor antenna. The following is a brief explanation of the types of connections
that are used for a coaxial cable. If your outdoor antenna uses a 75-ohm coaxial cable with an F-type connector,
plug it into the antenna terminal at the rear of the AVC System.
NOTE
• The antenna and the cable converter cannot be connected at the same time.
1. A 75-ohm system is generally a round cable with F-type
F-type connector
connector that can easily be attached to a terminal without
tools (not supplied).
75-ohm coaxial cable (round)
2. A 300-ohm system is a flat “twin-lead” cable that can be
attached to a 75-ohm terminal through a 300/75-ohm
adapter (not supplied).
300-ohm twin-lead cable (flat)
Cable converter/VCR connection
• Be sure to connect the antenna or the cable converter as follows. Signal reception may fail if improperly connected.
• Be sure to remember what kind of connection is made with your System.

Setting MTS/SAP stereo mode
The System has a feature that allows reception of
sound other than the main audio for the program. This
feature is called Multi-channel Television Sound (MTS).
The System with MTS can receive mono sound, stereo
sound and Secondary Audio Programs (SAP). The SAP
feature allows a TV station to broadcast other
information, which could be audio in another language
or something completely different like weather
information.
You can enjoy Hi-Fi stereo sound or SAP
broadcasts where available.
• Stereo broadcasts
View programs like live sporting events, shows and
concerts in dynamic stereo sound.
• SAP broadcasts
Receive TV broadcasts in either MAIN or SAP sound.
MAIN sound: The normal program soundtrack (either in
mono or stereo).
SAP sound: Listen to second language, supplementary
commentary and other information. (SAP is mono sound.)
If stereo sound is difficult to hear.
• Obtain a clearer sound by manually switching to fixed
mono-sound mode.
NOTE
• Once “MONO” mode is selected, the sound remains mono
even if the System receives a stereo broadcast. You must
switch the mode back to “STEREO” if you want to hear
stereo sound again.
• Selecting MTS while in the input mode does not change
the type of sound. In this case, sound is determined by
the video source.
