AM antenna loop connection This is the Antenna connection on the rear of the Gateway® LD220 DVD Player/Receiver. Connect an AM indoor loop antenna to the DVD player here.

AM Indoor Antenna

The high performance AM loop antenna provided with the receiver is sufficient for good reception in most areas. Connect the loop antenna's wires to the AM antenna terminals as shown in your user manual.

Place the antenna on a shelf or hang it in the direction which gives the best reception. Keep the antenna as far as possible from the DVD player, speaker cords, and the power cords to prevent unwanted noise.

AM Outdoor Antenna

If the AM loop antenna provided does not deliver sufficient reception (if you are too far from the transmitter, are in a concrete building, and so forth), it may be necessary to use an outdoor AM antenna.

Use an insulated wire more than 15 feet (5 meters) long, strip one end, and then connect this to the DVD player as shown in your user manual. The antenna wire should be strung outdoors or indoors near a window. For better reception, connect the GND terminal to a reliable ground.

Note: When connecting an outdoor AM antenna, do not disconnect the AM loop antenna.
