ANTENNA CONNECTIONS
Radio reception is not possible unless the antenna
is properly connected.
The strength of broadcast signals varies from one area to another. Signal
propagation is especially poor in metropolitan areas, where there are
many tall building and in mountainous avers. Proper antenna installation
is vital to good reception.
AM ANTENNA
The AM loop antenna supplied with the tuner should be connected to
the AM antenna terminals. The antenna should be placed at a distance
from the tuner, and should not be allowed to touch metallic objects.
Avoid placing it near CD players, personal computers, television sets,
and other devices generating radio frequencies.
Setting Up the AM Antenna
© Insert the stopper on the bottom of the antenna into the hole on the
leg.
© To permanently fix the antenna, screw the leg to a wall or something
similar before assembling. (fixing the antenna in the direction that gives
the best reception).
e Place the antenna on a level surface and rotate it to locate the
orientation that yields the best reception.
AM Loop Antenna Set-up
AM Loop Antenna Connection
The accessory AM loop antenna must be
connected to ensure proper reception.
External AM antenna
Indoor AM antenna
Provide a vinyl-coated wire (5 to 6 meters long). Secure one end to the
AM terminal and the other end to a wall or other high location.
Outdoor AM antenna
If reception is still poor even when a lead antenna has been stretched
out indoors, stretch out a vinyl-coated wire and secure it outdoors.
Connecting the external AM antenna
Outdoors AM antenna
CAUTION:
Do not detach the AM loop antenna when using the external AM
antenna.
FM ANTENNA
FM T-type Antenna Attachment
Connect the accessory FM T-type antenna to FM terminals.
Stretch the antenna out to its full length, and affix it to a wall, etc.

External FM antenna installation
F-227L:
Use an external antenna when the signals from the station are weak
and cannot be picked up by the accessory T-type FM antenna, or when
the sound heard is accompanied by large amounts of noise. There are
two ways of connecting the external FM antenna to ANTENNA
terminals: with 300 © feeder wire, or with a 75 Q coaxial cable. It is
recommended that you use the 75 2 coaxial cable, so that the effects
of extraneous noise are reduced to a minimum.
