CONNECTIONS
NOTE:
To minimize noise...
1. Connect the FM and AM antennas as shown below.
- Keepthespeakerwires, power cord and all other cables away from
the antennas.
FM antenna
The T-shaped indoor FM antenna (300-ohm) is sufficient
to receive most local FM broadcasts and should be
connected to the rear FM terminals on the DT-920.
Infringe areas, orwhere reception is distorted or noisy,
an FM outdoor antenna (not supplied) should be
connectedinstead ofthe indoorantenna. Theterminals
will accept 300-ohm twin lead cable.
- Do not place the antenna close to a TV or speaker.
2. Connect one end of a supplied audio cable to the
OUTPUT (1 or 2) jack on the TUNER and the other end
to the AUX input jack (-20 to 0dBV, 10k ) of the 900
series II amplifier.
3. After making all the connections, connectthe AC power
cord to 120V AC 60Hz outlet.
AM antenna
The AM loop antenna is
sufficient to receive most
local AM broadcasts.
Assemble the loop antenna
This unit is equipped with a polarized plug. If you have
difficulty inserting the plug, turn it over and reinsert it. If
the unit will not be used for a long time, disconnect the
AC plug fromtheAC outlet.
Unwind the antenna wires
(about 3 turns), then
connect them to the AM
LOOP terminals. Place the
loop antenna in a position
which yields the best AM
reception, or attach it to a
wall or other surface as
shown.
CAUTION: TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK, MATCH
WIDE BLADE OF PLUG TO WIDE SLOT, FULLY INSERT.
