Following
are some
hints for better
AM reception.
When
receiving weak
stations:
When the
unit is
tuned
to
a weak
AM
station,
you
hear lower
volume
then
when it receives
a strong
one.
This may be
corrected by re-aligning
the
rear-panel
AM ferrite bar antenna.
lf the
unit is used
in a concrete
building,
AM
volume may be increased
by
placing
it by a window.
For
best
AM reception,
you
are advised
to install
an outdoor
AM antenna.
When hearing
AM noise:
AM noise can
be caused by one of
the following reasons.
lnterference-lnterference
causes an
audible,
highpitched beat.
To
avoid
it, re-align
the direction
of the antenna.
Also note
that
an
outdoor
antenna
may also increase the
noise level of a desired
station
by accidentally
pulling
in interference
from other
stations.
Re-align-
ment in this
case is also
necessary.
Hum-
Booming
hum noise is often
caused by the
power
source and is
heard
as 60
Hz
(or
50
Hz) sound.
lt may
be
reduced by
moving the unit
away from other
electric appliances.
Buzz-Bvzz
noise
is
caused by
fluorescent
lamps
and other
electric
appliances,
or
by natural
phenomena
such as thunder.
lnstallation
of a
noise-suppression
device
may be effective.
Since
complete
elimination
of
AM buzz is usually
impossible,
it is suggestd that
you
make it less
audible
with
the
high filter or treble
tone
control on
your
unit.
