CONNECTIONS
Connecting the FM and AM antennas
Both FM and AM indoor antennas are supplied with this unit. Connect each antenna correctly to the designated terminals. In general, these antennas should provide sufficient signal strength.
Notes
•Be sure to set the tuner frequency step (Asia and General models only) according to the frequency spacing in your area (see page 111).
•The AM loop antenna should be placed away from this unit.
•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, install an outdoor antenna. Consult the nearest authorized YAMAHA dealer or service center about outdoor antennas.
