from

it
is
important
to
use
an
outdoor
atenna.
Be
sure
to
pick
an
outdoor
antenna
which
suits
your
loca-
an.
This
is
determined
by
the
signal
strength,
the
presence
of
iultipath
signals
*,
and
the
location
of
the
FM
stations.
ribbon
dipole
antenna
picks
up
signals
from
both
front
and
rear
jually
well,
but
is
susceptible
to
the
pickup
of
extraneous
noise.
Sony
table-top
type
AN-300
helical
FM
antenna
(optional),
which
\corporates
a
tuning
circuit,
has
the
same
pick-up
pattern,
with
qual
front
and
rear
sensitivity,
as
a
ribbon
dipole
antenna,
but
it
is
Iso
liable
to
pick
up
extraneous
noise.
When
this
antenna
is
used
ith
this
receiver,
with
the
antenna’s
TUNING
MODE
switch
set
to
UTO,
the
antenna
is
automatically
tuned
to
the
same
station
as
ve
receiver.
This
type
of
antenna
is
convenient
when
it
is
not
prac-
cal
to
install
an
FM
outdoor
antenna
and
where
the
signals
are
ufficiently
strong.

has
increased
sensitivity
to

and
reduced
sensitivity
to

signals.

FM antenna installation and orientation
e
install
the
FM
antenna
as
high
as
possible,
keeping
it
away
from
TV
antennas
or
others
operating
in
roughly
the
same
frequency
range.
e@The
antenna
should
be
located
on
the
side
of
your
house
away
from
heavy
auto
traffic
to
avoid
ignition
noise
interference.
e@To
obtain
good
reception
from
all
directions,
the
use
of
a
remotely-controlled
rotatable
antenna,
or
an
omnidirectional
antenna
which
picks
up
signals equally
well
in
all
directions,
is
recommended.
*
Multipath
signals
reflect
from
hills
or
structures,
reach
the
receiving
antenna
perceptibly
later
in
time
and
cause
severe
distortion
and
complete
loss
of
channel
separation.
Multipath
signals
can
be
avoided
to
a
great
extent
by
using
a
coaxial
cable,
and
a
good
direc-
tional
antenna
that
is
correctly
oriented.
