CONNECTIONS

SETUP

Connecting the AM loop antenna

1

Set up the AM loop antenna.

2

Press down the tab to insert the AM loop 
antenna lead wires into the AM ANT and GND 
terminals and then snap the tab back into 
place to fasten the wires.

3

Orient the AM loop antenna for the best 
reception.

• 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, an 
outdoor antenna may improve the quality. It is recommended 
that you should connect a 5 to 10 m of vinyl-covered wire to the 
AM ANT terminal and extend it outdoors from a window. 
Consult the nearest authorized YAMAHA dealer or service 
center for more details about outdoor antennas.

• The AM loop antenna should always be connected, even if an 

outdoor AM antenna is connected to this unit.

Connecting the indoor FM antenna

Insert the rectangular end of the indoor FM 
antenna into the FM ANT terminal.

• 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.

• If you connect an outdoor FM antenna to this unit, do not 

connect the indoor FM antenna to this unit.

Connecting the outdoor FM antenna

If this unit is installed inside a steel building or at a great 
distance from the transmitter, it may be necessary to 
install an outside long wire antenna.
Use a 75-ohm/300-ohm antenna adapter (included for 
U.K. model only) or an antenna adapter (included for 
U.S.A. and Canada models only) for connections.
