STEREO HEADPHONE RECEPTACLE

The stereo headphone receptacle located on the front panel will accept any
stereo headphone with any impedance rating.  When headphones are con-
nected, the speakers are automatically shut off.

FM ANTENNA.

The Modulaire 8 comes equipped with a line cord antenna.  This antenna will
suffice for all but the most difficult locations.  In order to optimize the
effectiveness of your line cord antenna, be sure that the power cord is
stretched out to its full length.  If desired reception is not achieved
with the line cord antenna, a folded dipole such as the Realistic FM dipole
Cat. No. 42-2385 may be used.  If this does not satisfy your needs, an
outdoor antenna may be used-check with your Radio Shack dealer for advice
as to the proper antenna for your location.  As shipped from the factory,
the line cord antenna is connected to one of the FM antenna terminals.  To
connect an external FM antenna, disconnect this lead and cover same with
tape.

AM ANTENNA.

The AM section of this receiver is equipped with a ferrite loopstick
mounted on the chassis.  This type of antenna is designed for reception of
local and semi-distant stations.  When the receiver is located a great
distance from broadcast stations, an external antenna consisting of a piece
of wire fifteen feet or longer will sometimes give better reception.  It
should be connected to the binding post terminal marked AM.  However, where
a neighborhood contains many man-made electrical noises, such as from neon
signs, fluorescent lights, motors, etc., the external antenna may pick up
more local noises than additional signal.

8-TRACK STEREO TAPE DECK.

The Modulaire 8 features a built-in high fidelity 8-track cartridge tape
player.  This player features continuous play without the need to push
buttons or handle the cartridge.

To operate the tape player, just plug the cartridge (8-track type only)
into the tape slot.  The tape player will turn on and run automatically.
If the FUNCTION SELECTOR is in the stereo-8 tape position, the tape will
play through the system.

Whenever the tape player motor is running, a track indicator light will be
on if the FUNCTION SELECTOR is in the STEREO-8 TAPE position.  To protect
the idler wheel, the player motor will run whenever a cartridge is in the
player.  However, if the power switch is placed in the "OFF" position, and
a cartridge is left inserted in the tape slot, your cartridge may develop a
flat spot on the idler wheel causing distortion when your tape is playing.

The 8-track cartridge actually has 4 pairs of stereo tracks.  The player
will automatically switch to a new stereo track after each track's program
is ended.  The track indicator lights indicate which track is playing.

Since the cartridge is continuous play, when track 4 is finished, the
player will automatically switch back to track 1.  The PROGRAM SELECTOR
button allows instant track change if so desired.
