this.condition, it may
be
necessary
to obtain a
much more
directional antenna than
the
dipole. This
type
of antenna
will permit you
to single out the
strongest signal
for
reception and ensure that the delayed
signals
will not
inrerfere
with the
sound
quality
of
your
tuner.
Antennas used with
FM
and TV receivers fall into
rwo basic
categories: those
rhat reguire
300
Ohm
termination,
and rhose requiring
75 Ohm terrnination.
The
T14
provides
input
terminals
for
either of rhese
systems.
Thej
cable used in
a
300
Ohm
sysrem
is usually
denoted
by a
flat
appearance
and
somerimes in irs highest
quality
form is
available with
rwo
inner
conducrors
and'a shielded ground.
The
75 Ohm termination
system
is usually
characterized
by a round
cable
(co-axial).
I7hen a 75 Ohm
system
is
used the
ends
should be
prepared so
that the
center
lead prorudes
from the
surrounding shielding
and
insulation and the
metal
shielding
imelf should
protrude
from the
outer insulation. This will allow it
to
be
used with the
75 Ohm terminals on the back
of
the T14.
This
sBtup is described in Figure A.
.AM
-
The T14
comes
with
a
movable ferrite
core
antenna
for ÂM reception. This
is the bar rhat
protrudes from
the rear
of
the T14.
Simply
moving it
away
from the unit
will
provide
extremely high quality
AM
reception. Should
you find in
your
signal
area that
even
with this
highly
sensitive
bar antenna, you
are not receiving adequate
AM
reception,
you
may make your
ov¡n
AM antenna.
This is
accomplished
by
taking
one end of a single
insulated
wire
and running
it to the highest spot on
your
rooftop
and
connecting
to EXT AM terminal. Running
another
insulated
wire
from the
ground terminal
and attaching
it
to a
good
ground
such
as
the
center screw on
your
AC
outler
or
a
water
pipe
may also be
helpful.

OPERRTION

CONTROLS
AM
-
This button selects
the AM
mode on
the Tl4.
FM
Auto
-
This
selects
rhe
FM mode.
SØhen
stations
are
tuned
in rhis
mode, the
T14 automatically
switches
to stereo
when
the stereo
pilot
signal
is
being
broadcaSt
by
the
station.
Otherwise
the
tuner
will receive only mono.
FM Mono
-
In
this mode
the
tuner
will receive all
FM
stations
in
moóo
(Whether
broadcast
in mono
or
5tereo).
Hi-Blend
-
FM Stereo signal
has a unique
ProPerry
in that
the majority
of
noise is
out-of-phase.
This blend switch
reduces
the
high frequency separation
between
the left
and
right channels
and by
doing
so
reduces
the noise
without sacrificing
fidelity.
FM
Mute
-
The T14
provides a
muting circuit
to reduce
interstation
noise
which occurs
as
you tune from station
