CATV cable
Connect as shown in the figure. When connecting a CATV
receiving unit, be careful of the following items.
@ If the signal at CATV IN terminal is weak, pulsating noise
or blinking picture may result on the television connect-
ed to the CATV OUT terminal. If this happens, connect
a CATV booster amplifier to the CATV IN terminal to
strengthen the signal.
@ Before connecting this unit to the CATV system, consult
the cable company.
@ When a CATV broadcast which is currently being
received with this unit is different from that received
with the TV receiver, the picture or sound may be
distorted.
AM antennas
AM loop antenna
Install the AM loop antenna to the supplied loop antenna
stand and place them on a shelf, etc., or install them in the
rack or wall with screws.
Rotate the AM loop antenna to the right or left for best
reception.
Note: ———-—_---______-—_____——--
Do notplace the AM loop antenna on the unit. As this unit employs
computing device, placing the AM loop antenna on the unit may
result in noise generation. Place the AM loop antenna away from
the unit.

AM outdoor antenna
in steel buildings or ata great distance from the transmitter,
it may be necessary to install an outside long wire antenna.
The end of this wire should be stripped of insulation and
connected to the AM terminal. At this time, keep the loop
antenna connected.
FM indoor antenna
Connect the T-shaped indoor antenna (supplied) to the
3009 FM ANTENNA terminals as shown in the antenna
connections diagram. Spread the two arms that form the
top of the “T” horizontally and hold them against conven-
ient wall surfaces. Try several locations for best results on
your favorite stations. Tape the antenna in place where the
best compromise is found between listening results and
appearance.
FM outdoor antenna
Consult with your dealer or service man about the best
method of selecting and erecting an outdoor FM antenna.
The choice of lead-in (feeder) wire is also important. The
flat ribbon-shaped twin lead performs well electrically, is
cheaper and is somewhat easier to handle in routing
through windows and around rooms. Coaxial cable is more
expensive, does a much better job of minimizing interfer-
ence, is less prone to the effects of weather and close-by
metal objects, and is nearly as good a signal conductor as
the ribbon type wire. The latter is particularly true of
foam-type coaxial cables. Coaxial cable is somewhat more
difficult to install at the point where the cable enters the
building. If coaxial cable is selected, make sure the antenna
is designed to drive the type of cable.
75 coaxial cable connection
After stripping the end of your coaxial cable, RG-6 or
RG-59 mount the supplied 750/300 FM antenna adapt-
er on the cable as shown. Then insert the plug into the 752,
ANTENNA terminal on the rear panel as shown in Antenna
connections diagram. ,
Press the claws in the
direction of the arrows
with the fingers to re-
Jease the lock and pull
out the cover.

750 antenna connection
3000 ribbon type cable connection
Although the unit is designed exclusively for use with 750
coaxial cable. it can also accept a 300 indoor antenna
or 3002 ribbon-type lead-in cable by using the supplied
7502/3000 antenna adapter. Strip the plastic insulation
from the wire ends for about 10mm (3/8 inch). Connect
the wires to the terminals on the adapter, then insert it into
the 7592 ANTENNA terminal on the rear panel (see
Antenna connections diagram).
If you connect a 3002 feeder cable, you need not detach
the cover in the 7502/3000 antenna adapter.
