Hookups
FM wire antenna
If you have poor AM reception
Connect a 20 to 50 ft. (6 to 15-meter) insulated wire (not
supplied) to the AM antenna terminal in addition to the
AM loop antenna. Try to extend the wire outdoors and
keep it horizontal.
Connecting a ground wire
If you connect the receiver to an outdoor antenna,
ground it against lightning as shown in the illustration
in the left column. To prevent a gas explosion, do not
connect the ground wire to a gas pipe.
Note (except STR-DE435)
Do not use the SIGNAL GND y terminal for grounding the
receiver.
Where do I go next?
If you want to connect other components, go on to the next
section. If you’re only planning to use the receiver to listen
to the radio, go to “Speaker System Hookups” on pages 7
and 8.
