Connecting antennas
The supplied antennas provide a simple way to listen to
AM and FM radio. If you find that reception quality is
poor, an outdoor antenna should give you better sound
quality—see
Connecting external antennas below.
AM loop antenna
1 Assemble the stand as shown in the illustration.
• Bend the stand in the direction indicated (fig. A).
• Clip the loop into the stand (fig. B).
• It’s possible to fix the AM antenna to a wall (fig. C).
Before fixing, make sure that the reception is
satisfactory.
2 Pull off the protective shields of both AM
antenna wires.
3 Press the AM LOOP antenna terminal tabs to
open and insert one wire into each terminal.
4 Release the tabs to secure the AM antenna wires.
5 Place the AM antenna on a flat surface and point
in the direction giving the best reception.
Avoid placing near computers, television sets or other
electrical appliances and do not let it come into contact
with metal objects.
Note
• The signal ground ( ) is designed to reduce noise
that occurs when an antenna is connected. It is not
an electrical safety ground.
FM wire antenna
• Connect the FM wire antenna to the FM UNBAL
75 Ω antenna terminal.
For best results, extend the FM antenna fully and fix to a
wall or door frame. Don’t drape loosely or leave coiled up.
Connecting external antennas
To improve FM reception connect an external FM
antenna to the
FM UNBAL 75 Ω antenna terminal.
To improve AM reception, connect a 5-6 m length of vinyl-
coated wire to the
AM LOOP terminals without
disconnecting the supplied AM loop antenna.
For the best possible reception, suspend horizontally
outdoors.
