Connecting the FM and AM antennas

Note for U.S.A. customers

When you use the FM/AM tuning feature in the main zone only, connect the supplied indoor FM antenna and AM loop antenna to the AMTENNA-1 terminals only. Refer to the right column.

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

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.
