How to use the
A/B
FM antenna
terminals
Use the A terminal for the main
FM
antenna con-
nection. For best reception Akai recommends the
use of a higher grade
FM
outdoor antenna for the
main
antenna. Adjust it's direction so that as many
stations as
possible can be received.
Use the B
terminal for the sub
FM
antenna connec-
tion. Use the sub
FM
antenna to catch stations that
the main antenna can't pick
up
by setting it in a
dif-
ferent position.

How
to use the FM antenna plug
Connect
the
FM
antenna to the A
(750)
terminal
using the provided
FM
antenna plug.
Prepare
a
75
ohm
coaxial
cable
(3C-2V
or
5C-2V; not provided) by stripping off approx.
10
mm
of the outer insulation. Be careful not to
cut
through
the
copper
wire
'net' beneath it. Fold
back the copper wire and then strip off about 5
mm
of the inner wire's insulating cover. Fig. 1
2 Rotate the
FM
antenna plug and take
it
apart.
Pass
the
prepared
75
ohm
coaxial
cable
through
part
(a)
as shown in Fig.
2,
and then
return
the
copper
wire
to
it's
folded
back
position.
3
Insert the inner wire of the coaxial cable through
the
center
hole of part (b) and stop when the
folded
back copper wire surrounds the bottom
of
part
(b). (If there is a
multiple
core
c~nter
strand,
first
twist
it
together
to form a
single
strand.) Fig. 3

(a)
and
(c)
together in the order shown
in Fig. 4 and screw together as shown in Fig. 5.
