Since

FM

broadcast

signals

travel

along

a

straight,

direct-line

path,

they

become

rather

weak

behind

hills

and

buildings

even

in

the

vicinity

of

a

broadcasting

station.

FM

signals

also

become

weak

in

areas

distant

from

a

station

even

though

there

may

not

be

any

obstruc-

tion

to

the

direct

line

path

of

the

signal.

Therefore,

a

good

FM

antenna

should

be

installed

in

the

most

effective

manner

for

best

possible

FM

reception.

In

areas

near

the

FM

station

where

signals

are

strong,

stretch

the

T-type

indoor

antenna

that

is

supplied

to

its

maximum,

and

connect

it

to

the

FM

300

&2

terminals

on

the

rear

panel.

This

antenna

should

be

carefully

hung

in

the

direction

that

provides

best

reception

with

minimal

undesirable

reflection.

An

outdoor

FM

antenna

will

become

necessary

if

interference

is

encountered

as

a

result

of

weak

FM

signals

with

an

indoor

antenna.

if

a

300

<2

feeder

line

is

employed,

it

should

be

connected

to

the

FM

300

22

terminals.

For

a

75

ohm

coaxial

cable,

connection

should

be

made

to

the

FM

75

Q

terminals.

AM

ANTENNA

The

ferrite

stick

antenna

incorporated

in

your

KR-5200

assures

satisfactory

reception

from

all

local

AM

stations.

Since

the

ferrite

stick

antenna

has

directional

properties,

you

should

adjust

the

antenna

to

the

position

at

which

the

strongest

signal

is

received.

In

fringe

areas

where

satisfactory

reception

cannot

be

obtained

with

the

ferrite

antenna,

an

antenna

should

be

con-

nected

should

not

be

used.

For
