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 ter-
minals as shown. Place the antenna on a shelf, for exam-
ple, 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 suffi-
cient reception (because you are too far from the trans-
mitter 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.
–6 –
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 suffi-
cient; if you live in an area where the FM signals are par-
ticularly 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 shield-
ing can be connected as shown.
In an area with strong FM signals, the "T"-type FM anten-
na provided is sufficient. Extend this into a "T" shape and
connect the two wires at the base of the T to the anten-
na 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.

Antenne AM
Antenne FM extérieure
Raccordements d’antenne
Antenne FM intérieure Antenne-cadre intérieure AM
L'antenne cadre AM haute performance, fournie avec le
récepteur permet une très bonne réception dans la plu-
part des régions.
Raccorder les fils de l'antenne-cadre aux bornes d'an-
tenne AM comme décrit.
Placer l'antenne sur une étagère, par exemple, ou la sus-
pendre dans un encadrement de fenêtre, etc., en l'orien-
tant de façon àobtenir la meilleure réception
possible, et aussi loin que possible de la chaîne, des fils
de raccordement des haut-parleurs et du cordon d'ali-
mentation, afin d'éviter tout bruit indésirable.
Antenne extérieure AM
Si l'antenne cadre AM fournie ne permet pas une
réception satisfaisante (du fait que vous êtes situétrop
loin d'un émetteur ou que vous habitez dans un
bâtiment en béton, etc.), il peut être nécessaire d'utiliser
une antenne AM extérieure. Utilisez un fil isoléd'une
longueur supérieure à5 m, dénudez l'une de ses
extrémités et raccordez la àla borne, comme décrit sur le
schéma. Le fil d'antenne doit être tendu àl'extérieur ou à
l'intérieur àproximitéd'une fenêtre. Pour une meilleure
réception, raccordez la prise de terre àune masse fiable.
Remarque: Même si vous utilisez une antenne
extérieure, ne débranchez pas l'antenne cadre AM.
Dans une région oùles signaux FM sont faibles, il sera
nécessaire d'utiliser une antenne FM extérieure
asymétrique 75 ohms. En général, une antenne à3
éléments sera suffisante; si vous habitez dans une région
oùles signaux FM sont particulièrement faibles, il peut
être nécessaire d'utiliser une antenne à5 éléments ou
plus.
Les antennes 75 ohms utilisent un câble coaxial et
doivent être raccordées comme suit: d'abord dénuder le
revêtement du câble, puis torsader le fil de blindage pour
que l'âme et le blindage puissent être raccordés comme
montré.
Dans une région avec des signaux FM puissants, l'an-
tenne de type "T" fournie est suffisante. L'étendre en
forme de "T" et brancher les deux fils àla base du "T" aux
bornes d'antenne comme montré. Pour des détails sur
la façon de raccorder les fils d'antenne aux bornes, voir
l'illustration.
Etendre le haut du "T" et le fixer avec des punaises, etc.
àun mur ou un cadre de fenêtre pour la meilleure
réception possible.
Appuyer sur le levier, introduire
l'extrémitédénudée et torsadée
du fil, puis relâcher le levier pour
que le fil soit bien maintenu.
