conductor of the (FM 75) socket, extend the lead and fix it to a

FM OUTDOOR ANTENNA
In an area where FM signals are weak, it will be necessary to use a
75 unbalanced-type outdoor FM antenna using the optional
matching transformer, as shown. Generally, a 3-element antenna
will be sufficient: if you live in an area where the FM signals are
particularly weak, it may be necessary to use one with 5 or more
elements. Connect the coaxial cable of the antenna to the
matching transformer as shown. After completing connection, plug
the transformer into the “FM 75” socket.
How to connect a coaxial cable to the matching transformer
- Strip the cable and dress it as shown.

AM Outdoor Antenna
If the AM loop antenna provided does not deliver sufficient
reception (because you are too far from the transmitter or in a
concrete building, etc.), it may be necessary to use an outdoor AM
antenna.
Use an insulated wire more than 15 ft (5m) 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: When connecting an outdoor AM antenna, do not disconnect
the AM loop antenna.
