FM Indoor Antenna
In an area with strong FM signals, the T-type FM antenna
provided is sufficient.
Extend this into a T shape and connect the two wires at the
base of the T to the provided matching transformer, as shown.
After completing connection, plug the transformer into the FM
75Ω socket. Extend the top of the T and fix with thumb tacks, or
the like, to a wall or window frame for the best possible
reception.

FM Outdoor Antenna
In an area where FM signals are weak, it will be necessary to
use an outdoor antenna with 3 or more elements. If you are using
a 300-ohm antenna, connect it to the tuner via the supplied
matching transformer. (No need for it in connecting a 75-ohm
antenna.)

Antenne FM intérieure
Dans une région ou les signaux FM sont forts, lantenne de type
en T fournie est suffisante. Étendez-la en forme de T et
connectez les deux fils de la base du T au transformateur
d’adaptation fournie, comme montré. Aprés avoir effectué cette
opération, branchez le transformateur à la prise FM 75Ω.
Etendre le haut du T et le fixer avec des punaises, etc. à un mur
ou un cadre de fenêtre pour la meilleure réception possible.
Antena FM para Interiores
En un área con señales fuertes de FM, la antena FM tipo T que
se proporciona es suficiente.
Extienda ésta en forma de T y conecte los dos cables en la
base de la T al transformador de adaptación tal como se
muestra.
Después de terminar la conexión, conecte el transformador en el
socket “FM” de 75Ω. Extienda la parte superior de la T y fíjela
con tachuelas de cabeza plana, o algo similar, a una pared o
marco de una ventana para la mejor recepción posible.
Antenne FM extérieure
Dans les endroits où les signaux FM sont faibles, il sera
nécessaire d’utiliser une antenne fm externe ayant un minimum
de 3 éléments. Si vous utilisez une antenne de 300 ohms, la
brancher au syntonisateur utilisant le transformateur
d’impédance. (Il n’est pas requi si l’antenne est de 75 ohms).
Antena externa de FM
En un área en donde las señales de FM son débiles, será
necesario utilizar una antena exterior con tres o más elementos.
Si está utilizando una antena de 300 ohms, conéctela al
sintonizador a través del transformador de adaptación
suministrado.  (No es necesario conectarlo a la antena de 75
ohms).

AM (MW) Antenna
>AM Indoor Loop Antenna
A high-performance AM loop antenna provided with the tuner is
sufficient for good reception in most areas.
Snap the supplied loop antenna into the hinge on the rear of the
unit, and connect the wires running out the loop antenna to the
AM terminals, as shown.
When you actually try listening AM programs later, you may
want to turn the loop antenna on the hinge for the best possible
reception.
>AM Outdoor Antenna
If the AM loop antenna provided does not deliver sufficient
reception (because you are too far from the transmitter or in a
concrete building, etc.), it may be necessary to use an outdoor
AM antenna.
Use an insulated wire more than 15 ft (5 m) long, strip one end,
and connect this to the terminal as shown.
The antenna wire should be strung outdoors or indoors near a
window.
For better reception, connect the GND terminal to a reliable
ground.
