4 Connect the AM loop aerial to the AM terminals on the back of this unit.

SONY STS3000ES - What will I need? - 4

5 Adjust the aerial direction for the best reception.

The AM loop aerial has a directivity which detects the signal from some angles more strongly than others. Set the aerial to the orientation which provides the best receiving condition. If a high pitched noise (beat noise) occurs when recording AM broadcasts, adjust the position of the AM loop aerial so that the noise disappears. If you live in a building constructed of reinforced concrete, or with a steel frame, you may not be able to achieve good reception since the radio waves become weaker indoors.
