Dear Antonio,

RE: your question about what the FA-7 connector is for, the TU-X1 brochure says:

An "F" type connector is provided exclusively for use with the optional Sansui FA-7.

...

FA-7 FM/AM Compatible Antenna System:

- World's first FM/AM compatible antenna system (Pat. Pend.)
- Both FM and AM reception is possible with one antenna and one cable connected to receiver/tuner's FM/AM terminal
- FM antenna with sharp directionality for reduced multipath interference
- non-directional AM antenna.

RE: connections that are being used on my TU-X1:

- FM antenna to 75 ohm cable to ANTENNA FM 75 ohm (unbalanced).
- AM antenna to ANTENNA AM and ANTENNA GND connectors.

- FM OUTPUT (FIXED) (L & R) to my amplifier (L & R inputs # 4).
- OUTPUT-1 (VARIABLE) (L & R) to my amplifier (L & R inputs # 5).
- OUTPUT-2 (VARIABLE) (L & R) to my amplifier (L & R inputs # 6).

We reside 50 miles from the closest broadcast towers and the FM station that I am usually tuned to reads about 82 on the dBf FM Signal/Multipath meter.  The FM antenna uses 2 FM antennae mounted parallel on a pole with rotator and remote controller.  The AM antenna is a heavy duty remote tuned AM loop antenna with control box.

Regards, Peter Foster.
