Getting Started
Antenna Hookups
Overview
This section describes how to connect AM and FM
antennas to the receiver. If you want to receive radio
broadcasts with the receiver, complete these
connections first, then go to the following pages.
For specific locations of the terminals, see the
illustration below.
What antennas will I need?
Hookups
If you have poor FM reception
Use a 75-ohm coaxial cable (not supplied) to connect the
receiver to an outdoor FM antenna as shown below.
If you have poor AM reception
Connect a 20 to 50 ft. (6 to 15-meter) insulated wire (not
supplied) to the AM antenna terminal in addition to the
AM loop antenna. Try to extend the wire outdoors and
keep it horizontal.
Connecting a ground wire
If you connect the receiver to an outdoor antenna,
ground it against lightning as shown in the illustration
in the left column. To prevent a gas explosion, do not
connect the ground wire to a gas pipe.
Note (STR-SE391 only)
Do not use the SIGNAL GND y terminal for grounding the
receiver.
Where do I go next?
If you want to connect other components, go on to the next
section. If you’re only planning to use the receiver to listen
to the radio, go to “Speaker System Hookups” on pages 8
and 9.
