Notes

The AM loop antenna should be placed away from this unit and all speaker cords.

The AM loop antenna should always be connected, even if an outdoor AM antenna is connected to this unit.

A properly installed outdoor antenna provides clearer reception than an indoor one. If you experience poor reception quality, an outdoor antenna may improve the quality. Consult the nearest authorized YAMAHA dealer or service center about outdoor antennas.
