Connecting an AM Antenna
One AM loop antenna is supplied with your receiver.
To connect the AM loop antenna to the AM LOOP terminals, follow these steps:
Step 1 Open each terminal and insert one of the two ends of the AM antenna wire.
Step 2 Close the terminals to clamp the antenna wires in place.
Step 3 Stand the AM loop antenna on its own base, as shown. Set it on any flat surface.
If your AM broadcast reception is unsatisfactory, you should connect an AM outdoor antenna
in addition to the loop antenna. The antenna wire should be 16 to 40 feet (5 to 13 meters) long.
Connect one end of the outdoor single vinyl-covered antenna wire to the AM LOOP tennina!
marked AM EXT.
IMPORTANT! The AM loop antenna must be installed to receive AM broadcasts. Do
not disconnect the loop antenna when installing an outdoor antenna.
IMPORTANT! Except for the connection, make sure no uninsulated antenna wire
touches the rear panel of the receiver. Otherwise, the receiver might not pick up
AM broadcasts.

Step 1 Loosen the cap on the 300/75-ohm termina! on the back of the receiver.
Step 2 Loosen the cap on the 300-ohm terminal on the back of the receiver.
Step 3 Connect the antenna by inserting one wire behind each cap.
Step 4 Tighten the caps on both terminals.

To connect a 300-ohm feeder-cable antenna, use the same steps as for the temporary FM
antenna.
To connect a 75-ohm coaxial-cable antenna, follow these steps.
Step 1 Unscrew the cap and bracket screw on the 300/75-ohm terminal. Insert the round
antenna cable from below.
Step 2 Make sure the shield braid on the cable contacts the bracket, and the center conductor
of the cable contacts the 300/75-ohm terminal.
Step3 Tighten the bracket screws and the cap on the 300/75-ohm terminal.
IMPORTANT! Make sure the antenna conductors do not touch any other terminals
on the receiver. This could cause poor reception.
