Antenna mast and lead-in grounding is required by NEC Article 810. Incoming coax from a cable company is also required to have shield grounding per NEC Article 820.
Those odd ground terminals on the back of the Akai I would presume are just connections to the incoming antenna A & B shields. You could easily check with an ohmmeter. (Are those antenna connectors normal 75-ohm threaded F-connectors on your unit or some other Euro/Asia weirdness? If not, are you sure you have a 120VAC unit?)
IF those are just shield grounds as I suspect they are, since there are 2 of them, along with 2 antenna inputs (an excellent feature, BTW) and you install a grounding block for the lead-in, you can safely ignore the instructions. In fact, the use of a lead-in grounding block/antenna discharge unit should be considered non-negotiable.
We'll assume that "my ground rod" is legal and safe and in good working order.
