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.
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 interconnect wires as far away
as possible from the 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 AM
outdoor antenna.
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.
Note:
Even when using an AM outdoor antenna, do not disconnect the
AM loop antenna.

FM Indoor Antenna
Connect the lead-type FM antenna to the FM 75Ω socket, extend
the lead and tune in your favourite station (see page 23). Adjust the
antenna in a suitable location like a window frame or wall until the
reception is best and then affix the antenna in that position using
thumb tacks, push pins or any other suitable means.
FM Outdoor Antenna
In an area where FM signals are weak, it may be necessary to use an
FM outdoor 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.
< Disconnect the FM indoor antenna when using an outdoor
antenna.
