Connect the Brown wire to the terminal marked L or
coloured Red.

RADIO RECEPTION
• AW 7220: set the MODE selector to FM or AM/MW.
• AW 7223/AW 7224: set the MODE selector to RADIO
and select the wave band using the BAND selector.
• Adjust the sound with the controls VOLUME and DY¬
NAMIC BASS BOOST.
• Tune to a radio station using the TUNING knob.
(SW and LW not on all versions).
- For FM, pull out the telescopic aerial. To improve FM-re-
ception, incline and turn the aerial. Reduce its length if the
FM-signal is too strong (very close to a transmitter).
- For AM/MW and LW (Medium and Long Wave), the set is
provided with a built-in aerial, so there is no need to use
the telescopic aerial. The aerial can be directed by turning
the whole set.
- For Short Wave (SW), the telescopic aerial must be pulled
out and placed in the vertical position. To improve SW-re-
ception, vary the length of the aerial.
• During FM-reception a disturbing noise, due to a weak
FM-stereo signal, can be suppressed by selecting the FM
MONO mode:
->W 7220; set the FM MONO/STEREO selector to MONO.
- AW 7223/AW 7224: set the MODE selector to FM
MONO.
Now you will hear (and record) the FM programme in mono.
• The set is switched off if the MODE selector is in posi¬
tion TAPE/RADIO OFF and the recorder buttons are re¬
leased.
