HINTS FOR BETTER RECEPTION
EXTERNAL FM ANTENNA
The main advantage of FM over AM is the quality of the broadcast
signal. In order to benefit fully from the high signal quality of FM
broadcasts, it is recommended that a special-purpose FM antenna
be installed.
In weak
signal areas, a multi-element
(3-element,
5-element, 7-element) antenna should be used.
GROUNDING
Grounding
is recommended
if reception of FM programs
is im-
paired by noise. To ground, connect a thick polyvinyl insulated wire
to the GND terminal and attach the other end to a metal water pipe
or grounding bar or wind it around a copper plate and bury it.
NOTE:
Never connect a wire to a gas pipe for grounding since sparks may
ignite the gas.
EXTERNAL AM ANTENNA
if it is not possible to obtain
adequate
AM
reception
even
by
changing the orientation of the AM loop antenna, a separate indo-
or antenna or an outdoor antenna should be instailed.
INDOOR AM ANTENNA
Use a vinyl-insulated wire (5—6 m) and connect one end to the AM
antenna terminal and affix the other end to the wail or ceiling, as
high as possible.
OUTDOOR AM ANTENNA
If reception quality is not improved sufficiently even when an indo-
or antenna is used, a viny!-insulated wire should be installed out-
side and fixed in place.
NOTE:
Do not detach the AM loop antenna when using an indoor or an
outdoar AM antenna.
