Antenna Connections
Proper anienna
placement
is essential for
good
FM reception.
In most
areas
the
T-shaped
"folded
dipole"
wire supplied
with
your
650FETR
is
adequate.
lnsert the two bare ends
into the
Antenna terminals
with
the
red tabs marked
300 ohms.
Stretch
out the top section of
the
"T";
you
may find that
you
will have to
reposition it later for optimum
reception. In
difficult
reception
areas
it may be necessary
to
utilize an outdoor antenna
instead.
Your 650FETR can often
"share"
with
a
TV antenna by using an
inexpensive
antenna
splitter or 2 set-coupler, available
from
your
dealer.
Connections
made from flat wire are made at the
red
terminals. So are
connections
made from the flat wire coming
out
of a
matching
transformer
if
your
antenna
uses rounded
coaxial-type
cable.
You may make direct coaxial cable connections
by separating
the inner wire
from its
surrounding
braided shield wire. The
stripped
inner wire
attaches
to the right
hand red terminal; the
outer braid
is
twisted
firmly
and
inserted in the adjacent black
terminal marked Gnd.
A ferrite bar
AM
antenna
is
attached
to the rear of
your
Reference:650FETR. For adequate
reception
you
must swing
it
away
from the
chassis,
clear of wires and cords.
lt may require
repositioning depending on the direction a
station is broadcasting
from.
Better
reception
of
distant AM stations
is
possible
if
you
connect a single
long wire to the AM antenna terminal.
This wire
should
be 20 to
50
feet in length
and
run mostly horizontally.
Connecting
A
Tape Deck
The Reference:650FETR
has two separate tape
monitor
circuits.
You may connect two tape decks, or one
tape deck to
either circuit.
The line lnputs to
your
tape deck
plug
into either
set of lape
out
jacks
on the
650FETR. The output
jacks
on the
tape deck connect
to the tape rn
jacks
on the 650FETR.
Make
certain
that L and
B
connections are
consistent
for Tape
Out and
Tape
ln
so channels
are not
reversed from recording to
playback.
A third tape deck
may be used for
playback
only by
connecting
its
output
to the fape 3
jacks
on the 650FETR.
You
may
plug your
tape deck's
power
cord either
directly
into
the
wall
or
into the Swifched
AC
outlet on
vour
Reference:650FETR
Connecting
Other Components
f he Tape ln or
Tape
3
jacks
may be used
with
sources other
than a
tape deck as
long
as
they
have
similar signal
levels. The
audio output of
a television or short
wave tuner are
just
two
possibilities.
You
should
consult
your
dealer
if
you
are
considering
connecting such equipment.
Connection
Summary
At this
point
double-check all
your
connections to
make sure
all
plugs
are
inserted
firmly and speaker
wires do not
have
any
