FM Antenna Connections (FM ANTENNA A, B)
(TX-890)
The T-shaped antenna is included in the installation instructions
bag. Use the T-shaped antenna if you live in an area where the
signal strength of FM broadcasts is high. Connect the antenna to
the 300-ohm terminal of the accessory antenna adapter, and insert
the antenna adapter into the FM 75-ohm F-type jack of the main
unit. Place the antenna on a wall or other surface in the position
in which reception is best.
If signal strength is low in your area, use a multi- element FM
outdoor antenna and connect to this unit using a 75-ohm coaxial
cable, because this type of cable is more resistant to interference
than a300-ohm cable. If the coaxial cable has an F-type plug, insert
it into the FM 75-ohm F-type jack of the main unit. If there is no
F-type plug, connect the antenna adapter as shown in the illustration
(below).
Use the B (CABLE) antenna terminal for connecting CATV (cable
TV) FM broadcasts or another FM antenna.

Do not use the same antenna for both FM and TV (or VCR)
reception since the FM and TV (or VCR) signals can interfere.
with each other. If you must use a common FM/TV (or VCR)
antenna, use a directional linkage type splitter.

AM Antenna Connections
An AM loop antenna is included in the installation instructions bag.
Take out the connection line and connect it to the AM antenna
terminals. This loop antenna can be placed on top of any stable
surface or attached to a wall. Try several! positions to determine
which gives the best reception. Be sure the antenna is not near a
speaker, power cord, television set, VCR, or motorized appliances.
When using an external AM antenna, do not remove the loop an-
tenna; connect both antennas to the AM antenna terminals.

Therefore, AM reception may be poor if this unit is placed too
close to a TV or a VCR.
