FM INDOOR ANTENNA
If you live reasonably close to a transmitter and want
to use the provided lead-type FM antenna, you will
have to connect it direct to the “FM 75” socket.
Fit the metal sleeve of the lead-type antenna over
the core (center) conductor of the (FM 75) socket,
extend the lead and fix it to a window frame or wall
with thumbtacks, or the like, where reception is best.

OUTDOOR FM ANTENNA (75)
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.

with this unit is sufficient for good reception in most
areas.
- Connect the loop antenna’s wires to the AM
antenna terminals as shown.
- Place the antenna on a shelf or hang it on a window

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.
