Connecting the fm antenna lead: The HP-319 power cord has an
fm line antenna which can be connected to the FM ANTENNA ter-
minal. If the ac power cord antenna does not perform well, remove
the power cord antenna lug from the FM ANTENNA terminal and
connect the ribbon antenna (supplied), or an outdoor fm antenna
using 300-ohm twin-lead to the FM ANTENNA terminals.
In some cases the unshielded 300-ohm twin-lead may act as an
omnidirectional antenna, picking up noise or unwanted signals
which cause interference. You should then use shielded 300-ohm
twin-lead.

Connection: Connect the SS-310 speakers to the SPEAKER con-
nectors marked A or B. Connect the right and left speakers to the
Rand L connectors respectively. Other matched high-quality
8-
ohm speakers can also be used.
The HP-319 can drive two speaker systems simultaneously or
independently. The second pair of speakers should be connected
to the remaining SPEAKER connectors. Each speaker system can
be turned on or off with the SPEAKER buttons on the front panel.
Tape Recorder
The HP-319 can be used with an external recorder for recording
and playing back. Refer to "OPERATION WITH AN EXTERNAL
TAPE RECORDER" on page 9.

Connection
To set up the four-channel
sa
system, connect the Sony SO adap-
tor (optional) to the HP-319 TAPE inputs and REC OUTputs. The
adaptor has provision for connecting a tape recorder when desired.
AM
GROUND
Connecting the a-m antenna lead: The built-in ferrite bar antenna
will provide good a-m reception under most conditions. If recep-
tion is weak, connect a length of wire, 20-50 feet long, to the AM
ANTENNA terminal and extend it out of doors, keeping the greater
portion horizontal.
Speakers
Location: Proper speaker placement
IS
very important for optimum
stereo reproduction.
• Place the speakers on a shelf or on the floor against a wall.
.If
you must position the speakers off the floor, do not place them
higher than
eye
level.
• Heavy draperies and rugs minimize the multiple reflections of
high frequency sound which reduce the stereo effect.
• Proper distance between the right and left speakers is directly
related to the distance from the speakers to the listening areas. In
most cases, excellent results are obtained if the speakers are sep-
arated by an amount slightly more than the distance from the lis-
tening area to each speaker.
Experiment with different speaker placements and listening loca-
tions until you find the setup that pleases you.
The SS-310 speakers (supplied) can be mounted either in a verti-
calor horizontal position to ma:ch the room decor. The Sony
name plate can be turned to match either mounting.

Ground Connection
To reduce hum it may be helpful to connect the GROUND terminal
to a convenient earth ground, such as a mounting screw of an ac
outlet cover plate, a cold water pipe or directly to the earth.
Power Connections
The power source for the HP-319 must be 120 V ac, 60 Hz.
Before plugging in the line cord, make sure the HP-319 POWER
switch is set to OFF/AUTO OFF. Then plug the HP-319 line cord
into the electrical outlet.
An UNSWITCHED outlet on the rear panel provides a convenient
source of up to 300 watts for another component. The front panel
POWER switch does not control the ac power to this outlet. The
power consumption of the equipment plugged into this outlet must
not exceed 300 watts.
Headphones
Insert any headphone of 8 ohms or more into the HEADPHONE
jack. For private listening, the speaker sound may be cut off by
releasing the SPEAKER buttons. Be sure to firmly insert the head-
phone plug into the jack to ensure hearing both channels.
Microphones
Insert the low-impedance microphones into the MICrophone jacks.
When using the microphones, the MONITOR and Function buttons
(FM, AM, PHONO, CASSETTE, TAPE) have no effect upon the re-
cording.
