FM ANTENNA CONNECTION
The
receiver
accepts
either
300-ohm
twinlead
or
75-ohm
coaxial
cable.
Standard
300-ohm
twinlead
is
inexpensive
but
susceptible
to
the
pickup
of
extraneous
noise.
75-ohm
coaxial
cable
is
free
from
external
interference,
reduces
noise
pickup,
and
is
the
ideal
transmission
line
for
most
FM
installations.

To
route
the
twinlead
over
the
roof
or

use
stand-off
in-
sulators.
Keep
the
tead
as
short
as
possible
and
avoid
running
parallel
to
other
wires
or
meta!
pipes.
Ribbon antenna supplied
Until
you
install
a
suitable
outdoor
antenna,
the
supplied
ribbon
antenna
may
be
useful.
Connect
it
to
the
300-ohm
antenna
ter-
minals.
For
optimum
reception,
fully
extend
the
antenna
and
posi-
tion it for the best reception.

Fasten the ends
to a wall, etc.,
using thumbtacks
or adhesive tape.
MW AND LW ANTENNA CONNECTION
In
most
areas,
the
built-in
ferrite-bar
antenna
will
provide
satisfac-
tory
reception.
In
difficult
reception
areas,
it
may
be
necessary
to
connect
a
length
of
insulated
wire
5-
15
meters
(20-50
feet)
long
to
the
LW/MW
ANTENNA
terminal.
Extend
this
out
of
doors
if
possi-
ble,
keeping
the
greater
portion
horizontal.

PROGRAM SOURCE CONNECTIONS
Record player
The
PHONO
inputs
accept
a
typical
moving-magnet
(MM)
cartridge.
Tape recorder
The
tape
recorder
jacks
are
provided
to
connect
a
tape
deck:
TAPE
for
playing
back
a
tape,
and
REC
OUT
for
recording.
Other input sources
The CD/AUX inputs are provided for connecting various input
sources such as a tape recorder (for playback only), an additional
tuner, or a record player equipped with a ceramic cartridge.
(The CD/AUX and TAPE inputs are identical in sensitivity and input
impedance.)
GROUND CONNECTION :
When
an
outdoor
antenna
is
installed,
the
direct
connection
of
the
ground
terminal
[7]
to
a
good
ground
is
recommended
for
light-
ning
protection.
The
use
of
a
lightning
arrester
is
recommended
for
any
outdoor
antenna.
To
prevent
hum,
be
sure
to
connect
the
ground
wire
of
the
record
player
to
the
ground
terminal.
if
hum
still
exists,
it
may
be
helpful
to
connect
the
ground
terminal
directly
to
earth
via
a
ground
rod
or
other
good
ground,
such
as
a
clamp
on
a
cold
water
pipe.
AC OUTLETS
Audio
components
whose
total
power
consumption
is
under
100
watts
can
be
connected
to
these
outlets.
These
outlets
are
controll-
