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

Be sure to set the tuner frequency step (Asia and General models only) according to the frequency spacing in your area (see page 98).

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.
