Connecting the AM loop antenna

1

Set up the AM loop antenna.

2

Press and hold the tab.

3

Insert the AM loop antenna lead wires into 

the AM ANT terminal.

4

Release the tab.

5

Repeat steps 2 to 4 to insert the AM loop 

antenna lead wires into the GND terminal.

6

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 your 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.
