AM Indoor Loop Antenna
The high-performance AM loop antenna provided with this unit is
sufficient for good reception in most areas.
To stand the loop antenna on a surface, fix the claw to the slot in
the antenna base.
Connect the loop antenna's wires to the AM antenna terminals.
< Make sure to connect the black wire to the GND terminal.
Place the antenna on a shelf or hang it on a window frame, etc.,
in the direction which gives the best reception. Keep all other
wires such as power cords, speaker wires or interconnected wires
as far away as possible from the antenna.
AM Outdoor Antenna
If the AM loop antenna provided does not deliver sufficient reception
(often due to being too far from the transmitter or in a concrete
building, etc.), it may be necessary to use an outdoor AM antenna.
Make sure to connect
the black wire to the
GND terminal.
Use either a high quality commercially available AM antenna or,
if not available, an insulated wire more than 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.
< Even when using an outdoor AM antenna, do not disconnect the
AM loop antenna.

FM Indoor Antenna
FM Outdoor Antenna
In an area where FM signals are weak, it will be necessary to use
an outdoor FM antenna. 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 lead-type FM antenna to the FM 75Ω socket, extend
the lead and tune in your favourite station (see page 8).
Adjust the antenna in a suitable location like a window frame or
wall which gives the best reception and then fix the antenna in
that position with thumbtacks or the like.
