AM Antenna

FM Outdoor Antenna

Antenna Connections

FM Indoor Antenna

 AM Indoor Loop Antenna

A high-performance AM loop antenna provided with the
receiver is sufficient for good reception in most areas.
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.

 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. 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.

In an area where FM signals are weak, it will be
necessary to use a 75-ohm unbalanced-type 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.
A 75-ohm antenna uses a coaxial cable and should be
connected as follows: first strip the covering of the
cable, then twist the wire shielding so the inner core and
shielding can be connected as shown.

In an area with strong FM signals, the "T"-type FM
antenna provided is sufficient. Extend this into a "T"
shape and connect the two wires at the base of the T to
the antenna terminals, as shown. For details of how to
connect the antenna wires to the terminals, see the
illustration.
Extend the top of the T and fix with thumb tacks, or the
like, to a wall or window frame for the best possible
reception.

Press the lever, insert the
stripped and twisted end of the
wire, then release the lever so
that the wire is held securely.

will be heard from them if both SPEAKERS “A” and
“B” are selected.

● Use speakers with a nominal impedance of 8 ohms
or more.

How to connect the speaker cords

Press the lever, insert the stripped and twisted
end (approx. 10 mm) of the cord, then release
the lever so that the cord is held securely.

Be sure to connect the power cord to an AC outlet which
supplies the correct voltage, as set by the voltage
selector.

UNSWITCHED:

This socket does not switch off when the amplifier is
turned off.

Caution:

The total power consumption of the components con­nected to the AC OUTLET must not exceed 100W.
