Antennas

The

sensitivity

of

the

STR-6055

is so

great

that

in

most

areas

it

will

work

well

with

simple

antennas

such

as

the

ribbon

dipole

antenna.

However,

for

the

very

best

fm

reception

pos

s

ible,

particularly

at

problem

locations

, a

more

elaborate

antenna

may

be

necessary

.

The

factors

determining

the

minimum

antenna

requirements

for

your

location

include

the

following

:

1.

How

strong

are

the

fm

signals

in

your

neighborhood?

2.

Are

all

the

fm

stations

in

the

same

direction

,

or

are

they

scattered

all

over?

3. Is

multipath

reception

a

problem?

As

far

as

signal

strength

is

concerned,

many

city

dwellers

do

extremely

well

using

just

a

ribbon-type

fm

dipole

or

the

familiar

"

rabbit

ears

".

The

rabbit

ear

antenna

is

the

more

preferable

of

the

two

since

it

can

easily

be

rotated

and

otherwise

adjusted

for

best

reception

.

However

, in

the

far

suburbs,

a

high

-

gain

highly-directive

outdoor

fm

antenna

is

necessary

to

secure

the

best

signal

-

to-noise

ratio

on

stereo

broadcasts.

Omnidirectional

antennas

are

quite

handy

if

the

local

fm

stations

is in

different

directions

and

you

don't

want

to

use a

rotator.

However,

if

"fm

ghosts"

(multipath

reception)

cause

the

problems

described

in

the

you

must

use a

highly-directive

antenna

and

rotator,

or

several

highly-directive

fixed

antennas

.

Multipath

Reception

Good

fm

reception

depends

not

only

on

the

sensi

tivity

of

the

tuner

but

on

the

quality

of

the

received

signal.

The

mo

st

important

factor

affecting

signal

quality

is

"multipath

"

reception

.

Multipath

reception

is

the

arrival

of

a

signal

at

an

antenna

from

several

points,

the

result

of

signal

reflections

from

tall

buildings

or

bridges

,

just

to

cite

a

few

examples

.

These

signals

arrive

at

the

antenna

at

different

times,

depending

upon

the

lengths

of

the

paths

they

travel.

The

addition

of

these

signals

at

the

tuner

can

produce

audible

distortion

and

loss

of

channel

separation

.

Multipath

reception

is a

condition

that

depends

solely

upon

the

surroundings

and

local

terrain

.

Connecting

the

FM

Antenna

Lead

The

STR-6055

accepts

300-

ohm

transmission

line

(twin

lead).

The

300-ohm

twin

lead

may

be

either

the

standard

or

shielded

type.

Standard

300-ohm

twin

lead is

inexpensive

and

will

be

perfectly

adequate

for

most

installations.

However

, in cases

where

local

noise

or

multipath

pickup

on

the

transmission

line

causes

interference,

a

shielded

transmission

line

must

be used.

A

matching

transformer

can

be

used

,

but

300-ohm

shielded

twin

lead is

preferable

because

most

fm

antennas

are

designed

to

directly

match

a

300

-

ohm

impedance

line

.

To

connect

standard

300-ohm

twin

lead

to

the

STR-

6055,

loosen

the

ANTENNA

terminals

marked

FM

Strip

the

plastic

insulation

from

the

two-conductor

To

connect

shielded

Antenna

Orientation

First,

tune

in

the

desired

station

by

adjusting

the

TUNING

kn

ob

for

a

center-channel

meter

indication;

then,

adjust

the

antenna

direction

and

height

for

clearest

sound.

o

If

distortion

is

audible,

adjust

the

direction

and

/

or

height

of

the

antenna

until

the

distortion

is

eliminated

.

Often

a

slight

turn

will

be

sufficient.

o

In

some

cases

multipath

reception

on

two

or

more

stations

may

require

the

antenna

to

be

p.Jinted in

several

different

directions.

An

effective

and

relatively

inexpensive

solution

to

this

problem

is

the

use

of

a

remote-controlled

antenna

rotator.

o

Keep

the

antenna

lead-in

wire

as

short

as

possible

and

avoid

long

horizontal

runs

to

minimize

signal

pickup

on

the

line

.

The

use

of

shielded

cable

is

recommended

in

multipath

areas.

o

If

an

outdoor

antenna

cannot

be

erected,

use

a

good

indoor

antenna;

rabbit

ears

are

satisfactory.

Adjust

the

antenna

for

minimum

distortion

by

listening

to

the

quality

of

the

sound

.

A

-m

Reception

Pull

down

the

built-in

bar

antenna

located

at

the

rear

of

the

set. In

most

cases,

this

ferrite-bar

antenna

will

provide

optimum

a-m

reception.

In

difficult

reception

areas

an

outdoor

antenna

will

be

helpful.

Connect

a

length

of

wire

,

at

least

16

feet

long

,

to

the

AM

ANTENNA

terminal.

The

signal

strength

of

the

a-m

station

is

indicated

on

the

tuning

meter

;

the

stronger

the

signal,

the

greater

the

deflection

toward

the

right.

Speakers

The

STR-6055

can

drive

two

speaker

systems

,

main

and

remote,

simultaneously

or

independently.

B

oth

systems

are

turned

on

or

off

with

the

SPEAKER

selector

on

the

front

panel.

The

speakers

connected

to

these

terminals

should

have

an

impedance

of

4-

16

ohms.

Location

:

In

many

home-entertainment

stereo

systems

,

the

choice

of

speaker

location

is

often

limited

by

the

existing

fur-

niture

arrangement.

However,

if

rearrangement

is

possible

,

or

you

wish

to

furnish

the

area

specifically

for

stereo

li

stening

,

here

are

a

few

suggestions

for

optimizing

your

listening

pleasure

.

Set

up

your

speakers

in a

large

room

having

a

rug

on

the

floor

.

If

the

room

has

heavy

drapery,

so

much

the

better

.

Rugs

,

dra-

pery,

and

upholstered

furniture

minimize

the

multiple

reflections

of

high-frequency

sound

that

occur

in a

bare

room

and

which

degrade

the

stereo

effect

.

The

usual

speaker

location

is on

the

floor

against

a

wall.

If

you

must

position

the

speakers

off

the

ground,

do

not

put

them

higher

than

eye-level.

Because

of

psychological

conditioning,

sound

coming

from

the

vicinity

of

the

ceiling

gives

an

unnatural

feeling

.

Corner

locations

,

however,

are

ideal

for

emphasizing

the

bass

notes

.

The

distance

between

the

right-

and

left-channel

speaker

system

in a

stereo

system

is

important

to

the

stereo

effect.

Closely-

spaced

speakers

produce

minimum

stereo

effect

.

Widely

-sepa-

rated

speakers

produce

maximum

stereo

effect,

although

if

the

separation

is

too

great,

the

unnatural

"ho

le

-in-the-midd

le "

effect

appears

.

The

proper

distance

between

speakers

is

directly

re-

lated

to

the

distance

from

the

speakers

to

the

listening

areas

.

In

most

cases,

fine

results

are

obtained

if

the

speakers

are

separated

by

an

amount

slightly

more

than

the

distance

from

the

listening

area

to

each

speaker.

In

any

case,

experiment

with

different

speaker

and

l

isten

ing

locations

until

you

find

the

setup

that

pleases

you

most

.

Cable

Type:

The

type

of

wire

used

to

connect

the

speakers

to

the

receiver

is

not

critical

in

most

home

stereo

systems

.

Ordi-

nary

dual

-

conductor

lamp

cord

is

often

used

for

this

purpose

.

Common

18

gauge

lamp

cord

is

fine

for

distances

of

under

35

feet.

However

,

14

to

16

gauge

wire

may

be

needed

for

long

runs

to

low

impedance

speakers

to

prevent

excessive

power

losses in

the

wiring

.

If

you

use

lamp

cord

or

any

other

stranded

wire,

make

sure

that

none

of

the

strands

separates

from

its

group

and

shorts

across

the

speaker

or

receiver

terminals.

Connection:

Connect

your

speaker

system

to

the

MAIN

SPEAK-

ER

terminals

.

Connect

the

right

and

left

speakers

to

the

R

and

L

speaker

terminals

respectively.

To

properly

phase

the

speakers

,

make

the

connections

so

that

the

positive

(+ )

terminal

of

the

speaker

connects

to

the

positive

(+ )

terminal

of

the

STR-6055,

and

the

remaining

lead

of

the

cord

connects

the

negative

(- )

terminals

on

the

speaker

and

the

receiver

.

This

is easy

to

do

if

one

of

the

wires

in a

lamp

cord

pair

is

coded.

Most

lamp

cord

is

coded

by

means

of

a

ridge

molded

along

one

conductor,

or

a

colored

thread

included

with

the

stranded

wires

of

one

conductor.

If

you

are

also

using

remote

speakers,

connect

them

to

the

REMOTE SPEAKER

terminals

as

described

above

.

Notes
