CONNECTIONS

Connecting the FM and AM antennas

Both FM and AM indoor antennas are supplied with this unit. In general, these antennas should provide sufficient signal strength. Connect each antenna correctly to the designated terminals.

Notes

The AM loop antenna should be placed away from 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.

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

2Press down the tab of the AM ANT terminal.

3Insert the one of the AM loop antenna lead wires into the AM ANT terminal.

4Release the tab back to secure the wire.

5Repeat steps 2 through 4 to connect the other lead wire to the GND terminal.

Once you have properly connected the AM loop antenna to this unit, orient the AM loop antenna for the best reception when you tune into AM stations.
